Notable
Travis sets up the GOG target at his local shooting club and trains with his dad. He says his dad pulls the targets a little faster than they're pulled at the Games, so he's comfortable with the speed at GOG. He trains 2-3 days a week and shoots 250 targets every day he trains. He says the shooting club even has lights set up so he can practice shooting at night, but he says the lights at GOG are so bright that it's like shooting in the daylight.
Quotable
"Loading and seeing the target quickly - it's the edge I have. Being young - it's an advantage."Travis plays other sports - football and track - but he says, "I shoot more than anything, because I enjoy it. I'd prefer to shoot over anything else."
