The fourth ISSF World Cup event will be this week in Baku, Azerbaijan as the shotgun, rifle, and pistol athletes will all be competing together. For the US this is not the best timing as the national championships in rifle and pistol are in Ft. Benning, Georgia starting Wednesday. That won’t affect the shotgun athletes though, their national championship is in July, so expect a good showing in Baku. Things begin on Wednesday with the women’s trap competition and the beginning of the men’s trap competition.

The only American competing in the women’s trap competition is Ashley Carroll. Carroll wasn’t competing in San Marino but finished ninth in her last ISSF World Cup event in Rio. In the men’s trap competition Seth Inman and Ryne Baxter Barfield will be competing. Inman was 57th in Rio and Barfield 70th in Nicosia in their only World Cup events so far this year.

The ISSF World Cup in Baku will continue through Tuesday.
