He got shooting tips from Scherer as he tried to hit a small bullseye from 33 feet away.

The Mayor explained the difficulties of this sport.

“Especially when you’re standing up and you can feel your breathing. And with every little breath, you’re moving away from the target,” said Mayor Suthers.

Mayor Suthers was presented with a shirt to wear to support the U.S. Olympic shooting team.

He gave Scherer his best wishes for winning the gold in Rio.
