Krause is World Clay Target Champion at Ohio shoot with perfect 200—Typically, clay pigeons are thrown at a speed of a little over 40 mph, so hitting one could be difficult for someone new to the sport.

Recently, Krause was named the World Clay Target Champion at the Grand American competition July 30-Aug. 9, in Sparta, IL, hitting all 200 targets thrown.
There were 2,000 competitors in total, with 57 trying their hand at hitting 200 targets.
