This is phenomenal! While not an olympic shooter I have always felt my real win was when I taught my subordinates (Army) to be better than me. They had the mentality as Rangers to do so. My success was when they succeeded better.

Almost none of it was in air rifle if any at all. No one else has ever come close.

I wildly disagree with the last statement in this article. Lones Wigger won much more than Gary did. The record is very easy to check.

Editor: We have changed the text. Wigger won more titles, but almost all of them in air rifle or small-bore (though, notably, Lones did win a 300m free rifle Olympic Gold in 1972). Both Anderson and Wigger deserve praise.
