Electric Shooters Protection is proud to congratulate Vincent Hancock on his second consecutive gold medal in skeet shooting! Vincent won this past week in London, holding off Andres Golding of Denmark, who took the silver and finished two targets back.
Hancock also set an Olympic record with his score of 148.
When the AP asked Hancock what gold medal is sweeter, the U.S. Army Sergeant said this time was. 
‘‘Being able to stand back up there again and listen to the national anthem again, it’s got to be better,’’ said Hancock, the first skeet shooter to win consecutive Olympic titles. ‘‘But it hasn’t set in fully yet.’’
Hancock was able to hear The Star Spangled Banner, of course, because his ears were being protected by Electric Shooters Protection’s Stealth ear protectors, ESP’s most popular model. 
The event took place at the Royal Artillery Barracks in London.
Hancock told the AP he wasn’t sure if he wasn’t going to compete in these Olympics, but after deciding too he’s not looking back now. Hancock was the youngest competitor and will have his eyes set on Rio in 2016. 
If the best shooter in the world qualifies again, we’ll be sure to sponsor him with in ear hearing protection again too.
Frank Thompson, who also wore the Stealth ear protectors didn’t finish in the medals, but represented Electric Shooters Protection and his country proudly and we salute him for that.
