USA Shooting

From this blog:

As the week was winding down, the Executive Director of USA Shooting stepped up to the podium and declared that the "new shooters" weren't of Olympic caliber. He said that these people - who between them had won a dizzying number of national and international titles - "lacked focus and discipline." No one would be able to get on our Olympic shooting team, the Director continued, unless they came up through the USA Shooting farm system.

This is a pretty near-sighted view. How many people have gone from walk-on to star of the team in so many sports?

A little more with a different twist here.
