DONIPHAN, Neb. (KSNB) - The United States Army Marksmanship Team performed a demo shoot on Thursday. It was the first time the Olympic competitors shot in front of a crowd in Nebraska.

The performance was a part of the 52nd annual Cornhusker Trap Shoot in Doniphan. Thursday was the beginning of the tournament with high schoolers set to compete in the state shoot for the next two days.

“We specialize in Olympic-style shooting,” said Glenn Eller, a 2008 Olympic gold medalist. “I’ve been to five Olympics ... It’s an amazing feeling to represent the Army and the United States and see your flag get raised and hear the National Anthem.”

The marksman duo performed a roughly 30 minute show that featured shotgun shooting in various forms.

“Talked about the event and how big it was and how big it’s grown, so we wanted to get up here and support it,” Eller said. “It’s awesome to come out here and support the kids. We know there’s a future in the sport, so it’s really good to see.”
