Browning fired 17/25 targets in the final-just one shy of Iannotti’s 18-to finish sixth overall. Finalnd’s Satu Makela-Nummela took home the gold medal with an impressive 93/100 targets. Jessica Rossi of Italy was second with 92 and Jana Beckmann of Germany won the bronze with 91 targets.

The ISSF World Cup Final continues tomorrow with competition in Men’s Trap.

Josh Richmond (USAMU/Hillsgrove, Pa.) will compete in double trap and Brandy Drozd (Bryan, Texas) and Caitlin Connor(Winnfield, La.) will represent Team USA in Women’s Skeet.
