The shooting powerhouse, USA, has completed the Olympic qualifiers for the shooting sport. A blend of young and experienced shooters has made it to the final contingent.

The chance to be part of the Olympic team is a lifetime opportunity. Exceptionally, Nick Mowrer has reached a feat no American ever has. Nick qualified to compete in the 10m pistol and 50m rifle, 3 positions event at Tokyo Olympics.

Sergeant Nick will compete in three events

Sergeant Nick Mowrer, being the quintessential player, competes in two extremely diverse events. It is an unusual quality for a shooter to ace both pistol and rifle events. Mowrer will also represent the US in the 10m air pistol mixed event.

Nick will make an Olympic comeback after 8 years as he last competed in the 2012 London Olympics. However, he only competed in the 50m pistol, which is no longer an Olympic event.

The Tokyo-bound shooter started shooting at a young age as it was a tradition for the Mowrer family. The talented Nick competes in different disciplines of shooting and doesn’t restrict himself.
