ANOKA, Minnesota - August 15, 2024 - Federal Ammunition congratulates sponsored shooters Vincent Hancock, Austen Smith, Conner Prince, and Derrick Mein on their performances in Paris. Combined, Team Federal won four medals and qualified for the finals in the Men’s Skeet, Women’s Skeet, Mixed Team Skeet, and Men’s Trap events.
“We’re extremely proud that four of our team shooters competed in Paris, bringing home four medals using Federal Gold Medal Paper shotshells,” said Jason Nash, Federal’s VP of Marketing. “The team's extraordinary performance not only captivated the world but also ignited a spark of inspiration. We hope their triumph reverberates through the years, motivating future generations to enjoy and excel in shooting sports.”
In Men’s Skeet, Federal’s Vincent Hancock won gold over USA teammate and sponsored shooter Conner Prince by just one target in a drama-filled finals. For Hancock, it is his fourth individual gold medal in Men’s Skeet, tying him with legends in Track & Field and Swimming for most gold medals won in an individual event by an American. Prince, the silver medalist, is coached by and trains with Vincent Hancock, and it was his first time competing at the summer games.
In Women’s Skeet, Austen Smith, also coached by Hancock, claimed a bronze medal in her second appearance on the world’s biggest stage.
Federal’s Derrick Mein finished fifth in the Men’s Trap event.
Finally, to wrap up the shotgun sports, Hancock and Smith teamed up to win a silver medal in the Mixed Team Skeet event.
All the American athletes were shooting Federal’s legendary Gold Medal Paper shotshells manufactured in America by the most skilled American workforce: “It’s a tremendous source of pride for our company and the Federal Ammunition brand,” said Nash.
