For the guests on this episode of the “It’s Federal Season” podcast, those Olympic dreams became a reality. Gold medalist in Women’s Skeet Amber English, silver medalist in Women’s Trap Kayle Browning, and bronze medalist in Mixed Team Trap Brian Burrows join the podcast to talk about their competitions in Tokyo, their impressions of the games and what’s next for each member of USA Shooting.
“This is a series of super exciting interviews with these Olympic medalists,” stated Jason Vanderbrink, President of Federal Ammunition. “Each shooter recounts their competition, talks about the games overall, each explains what they are doing with their medals, and they tell us what’s next for them in their shooting careers. This is a must listen to as the amazing shooters have such pride and enthusiasm when telling us their Olympic experiences,” stated Vanderbrink.
Kayle Browning, first time Olympian, captured the silver medal in Women’s Trap. Browning shot her way into the finals in the sixth position and then climbed into the final pairing with some clutch shooting. The Arkansas native and Federal-sponsored athlete missed extending the match by one target but realized her Olympic dream by winning silver for the United States of America.
