Double trap shooting?

Question

Answer 1

Armed with the new custom made Perazzi gun, Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Rathore would lead India's charge in two major shooting events in Italy beginning this week.

India's several top shooters would be participating at the ISSF World Cup from Monday to May 23 in Rome and the World Shotgun Championship, May 24 to 31, in Lonato.

But the spot light would be on Rathore, using his brand new Perazzi DB 81 for the first time.

The Lt. Colonel believed that with the switch to the new gun specifically designed to suit his personal features and style, his performance was bound to improve.

"The difference is that with the MX8 (his older gun), the eye used to be 2 mm over the barrel. With the new DB 81 the eye will be 20 mm over the barrel. It helps better visibility and eases the stress on the eyes during prolonged concentration," Rathore said.

This was really hard to find out!

Answer 2

He's sponsored by Perazzi (Italian), and it's a shotgun, not a rifle!
