Keith Sanderson is a four-time Olympian and World Cup Gold Medalist. We spent 3.5 hours talking non-stop about shooting. This might be the single most nugget-laden conversation I have ever had. I only got in one of my ice breaker questions because the conversation was deep from the beginning. Because it is so long, the conversation is broken into three parts. Enjoy!!
