Summary

Description
English: United States Air Force Major William Roy can shoot them out of the sky. Whether in his hey day at the stick of an F-4E fighter or now with his 12 gauge Browning 893 "Ultra XS Skeet" double-barreled shotgun. For MAJ Roy, skeet shooting means blasting 200 out of 200 speeding clay pigeons to bits - the norm for this sharp shooter. Perfect scores like this are what's needed to be awarded the gold medal at the Olympics. To support this level of talent and skill, military members have the World Class Athlete program. This program provides active duty, Guard and Reserve athletes the opportunity to train full time in their sport for up to two years. Roy is a common sight at the remote U.S. Olympic skeet range at Fort Carson, Colorado. There you will find him five days a week, rain or shine. Getting up at five in the morning, he uses this quiet time to visualize every aspect of his training and competitions. By seven-thirty he is at the range with cases of ammunition. At three in the afternoon he has cleaned his shotguns and returns home to have lunch and annotate his training session. Next is an afternoon physical training session and run. By the end of the day he can finally spend time with his wife and children. Day in, day out, five days a week this is his routine. With the exception of his family, this is solitary training, without a single fan or spectator 21 June 2000.
