Highlights from the Royal Artillery Barracks as Team GB's Peter Robert Russell Wilson wins gold in the men's double trap shooting event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (2 August 2012).
Sweden's Hakan Dahlby won silver in the event with the Russian Federation's Vasily Mosin winning the bronze medal.
From just five shooting events at the inaugural 1896 Olympic Games to today there are 15 events in the Olympic programme, divided into three different groups: rifle, pistol and shotgun. The rifle and pistol competitions are held on shooting ranges, where marksmen aim at targets at distances of 10, 25 and 50 metres. In the shotgun event, competitors shoot at clay targets propelled at a series of different directions and angles.
