None of the US men in the 10m air rifle were able to advance on Monday as qualifying for the finals took place. Dempster Christenson,was the top American after scoring a 623.1 and finishing 26th. Christenson went as high as a 105.7 but couldn’t top 104.4 in the other four series and was 3.6 behind the final qualifier. Garrett Spurgeon was the next American in 40th while Ivan Roe couldn’t follow up on his top-16 finish in Bangkok and was 50th.

The 50m men’s pistol event also got underway but with an elimination round to trim the field to 56 all that was at stake it was no problem for Will Brown, Nickolaus Mowrer, and Jay Shi as all advanced easily. Shi was the most impressive with a 560 that was the seventh highest score of the day. All three will compete in the qualifying round on Tuesday and the finals will be held as well that afternoon.

Also on Tuesday will be the men’s double trap competition. Walton Eller, Derek Haldeman, and Joshua Richmond will compete for the US. Eller, a 2016 Olympian in this event, was in the field in Nicosia and finished 13th.
