Krieghoff International Shooter Frank Thompson Takes Gold

Ottsville, PA– Krieghoff International announced today that a second gold medal and 2020 Olympic slot in the shotgun sports was earned by Frank Thompson over the weekend at the CAT Games.

Thompson, who made the USA Shooting National Development Team in 2006, is no stranger to fierce competition. Frank’s performance was one of determination and dominance with only one missed target in Qualification for a score of 174/175. An equally amazing showing in the Final knocked down a record-tying 59/60 targets from Frank and his Krieghoff K-80 delivering victory to the USA Shooting team filling the last of the skeet quota slots available for Team USA.

Alex Diehl states, “Krieghoff International applauds Frank’s performance clenching the final skeet Olympic quota slot for USA Shooting. His win is the second of two gold medals from Krieghoff shooters in these CAT Games filling two quota slots for Team USA. We congratulate Frank on this critical win.”
