Accokeek, MD –-(Ammoland.com)- Beretta USA congratulates 2-time Olympic gold medalist Sgt. Vincent Hancock on his historic win in Men’s Skeet at the 2012 Olympic games in London.
As a member of Team USA and Team Beretta, Vincent’s triumphant win has the men and women of the firearms industry standing proud, and none more so than the employees of Beretta USA in Accokeek, Maryland.
Cheers and high-fives echoed throughout the factory Tuesday morning as the final shot echoed from Hancock’s trusted DT-10 and he pumped his fist in victory.
Obliterating 148 out of a possible 150 targets, including a perfect 25 in the final round and a new Olympic record, Hancock and his Beretta DT-10 brought home the gold medal for Team USA. Hancock’s defense of his 2008 Olympic gold medal at these 2012 London games has certainly earned his faithful over/under an early retirement, while Beretta and the world anxiously await the 2016 games in Rio when Vincent will once again defend his title with his new trusty over/under—the DT11.
