COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado –-(Ammoland.com)- Matt Emmons picked up his second bronze medal of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Bologna, Italy when he finished in third place today in the Men’s Three-Position Rifle event.

Emmons, the defending World Cup Final title holder in the event, qualified for the Final with the highest score (1176-72x). Fighting through challenging dark and windy conditions throughout the Final, Emmons trailed early, moving only as high as third place after his ninth shot.
