First to know - Last to care!
Hundreds of folks using firearms and no one was shot accidentally or on purpose? Wow, firearms safety, self-discipline, and common sense, seems to prevent shootings. Too bad the anti-gun people do not get it.
Fortunately, my wife is an Olympic fanatic. She has recorded everything she can - just saw the skeet match with Amber English. Freaking awesome. Congrats to her!
If you get a chance, watch some trap. International Trap uses smaller, much tougher targets that are launched much, much faster than the U.S. version of trap. The last time I oversaw the construction of an International Trap field, the certifying official told me that the birds had to be able to travel 100 meters while rising no more than 1 meter off the deck.
I'm no shotgunner so I've always figured he was kidding me but I do know those birds were flying far faster than I'd ever seen before.
Anyone reading this who is familiar with International Trap, please feel free to fact-check me. I'd love to know what I've got right and wrong.
Thanks guys

I'm sitting in a Mexican restaurant watching the women's trap finals. Right now. On broadcast tv.
An hour later, I'm back at my hotel and the main NBC channel just covered the same event results. The sound is down so I can't be sure but I think The Most Serene Republic of San Marino just won their first medal, ever. That's cool.

The work on my A/C is finished and I'll be back home tomorrow. I hope to fully update this thread at that time. Since there's been quite a bit of pushback on the whole idea of seeking out coverage, I'll try to include as much embedded video as I can so that y'all can at least watch the finish of as many events as possible. Plus, scores. I really need to catch up on that.
Well, there were delays and problems and life got in the way but I'm back in front of my computer. Most of my plans to help folks stay updated on the Olympic shooting sports failed. However, I can start posting at least the finals.
If you don't care to watch anything else, the following YouTube segments show the finals of each event, in the order they were shot. Each vignette will provide a bit of insight into what the sport looks like. If that whets your appetite for more, I'll try over the next day or two to provide more.
ETA: I see the licensing stranglehold that the IOC imposes on all potential revenue streams is in place, forcing y'all to click a link and go to YouTube to see the video. I regret the inconvenience.
ETA2: I obviously don't understand the licensing. The events were viewable via embedded YT links. Then they weren't. As of 10:14pm on Tuesday, August 3, they're again viewable as embedded videos.

The controversy about the winner's former membership in a designated terrorist organization turned out to be a tempest in a teapot.

The still picture is the final two shot scores. When you blow a final shot, you dump yourself down one in the medals.

A bit off topic:
I tried to watch some events from my ROKU yesterday. I mostly haven't been interested because of the commercialization in the past, but I decided to try to see some diving and some beach volleyball. The Roku link sent me to the NBC channel to get a "free" account. Then my choices were limited to a few recaps. If I wanted to see an event in it's entirety, I had to pay for a "premium" account.
Errrrrrr, no thanx.

Men's Trap
It's really odd that the men get NBC coverage on YouTube but the women don't. In any event, this was an all-Czech final shoot-off, so it's pretty easy to figure out which country won the gold and silver.
Great Britain took Bronze.

I love this event, even though it's treated like a red-headed step-child by much of the international shooting community. Have a look at the video for a few minutes and you might see what I mean.
Side note - I loved the way the Bulgarian who finished in 5th place was cross-dominant. She was right-handed and left-eyed. Instead of doing the usual things we might do to compensate in "normal" shooting, she just adjusted her equipment to fit her. Her shooting glasses had the left eyepiece out over the bridge of her nose at an angle that allowed her to look through it at a 90 degree angle. In the Olympics, the equipment is fitted to the shooter; shooters are not expected to compensate for equipment shortcomings. I like that.
