Sydney - South Africa's three Olympic shottists resemble something like Rambo meets Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
Burly Free State farmer Frans Swart shouts just before he blasts away at clay pigeons with his shotgun.
A far cry from colleagues Jaco Henn and Corne Basson, who lie flat in sniper-like fashion, quietly aiming down the barrels of their .22 rifles at a miniscule bull's eye 50m away.
"Ag, what they do is easy," said Swart, with a naughty grin. "You just lie there and shoot."
"Frans can't shoot," retorts Basson. "He's still learning." In the movies, shooting is shooting, irrespective of the gun they use.
But in real life, at the firing range, it's a different story.
Swart, who competes in the trap competition on Saturday and Sunday, has two shots at each clay pigeon - which he releases through a voice-activated machine. He must move to a different spot - there are five altogether - for each target attempt.
It requires careful aiming and lightning-fast reactions, as three SA journalists found out when their six discs glided safely into the distance.
"Those clay pigeons are going to breed now," smiled Swart, who grows mielies and peanuts on his farm near Hoopstad.
Henn and Basson will both compete in the 50m prone (lying) and 50m three-position (lying, standing and kneeling) on September 21 and 23. - Sapa
