Peter Waszkiewicz, CEO of Randolph Engineering, Inc. is congratulating long-time company spokesperson Kimberly Rhode on her silver medal victory at the Beijing Olympics. “Kim has depended on our eyewear to perform in world-class competitions for a long time. We’re absolutely thrilled for her.”, said Waszkiewicz.
Already the most decorated female Olympian in the history of USA shooting, the silver medal completes her collection. Rhode won the gold in Women’s Double Trap in 1996, the bronze in 2000, and another gold in 2004. When the International Shooting Sports Federation and the International Olympic Committee removed Women’s Double Trap from the Beijing Games, Rhode changed her shooting discipline to skeet.
“She trains hard. She really works at it. And somehow she still finds time for charitable events, lectures, veterinary school, an upcoming wedding, and offering advise to absolutely anyone who is interested in the sport. She joins us at the SHOT Show every year, and without fail she takes the time to encourage and offer professional tips to any man, women, or child to approach her. We can’t ask to be associated with a greater shooter,” said Waszkiewicz.
Waszkiewicz said Rhode prefers to shoot wearing the Ranger XL. The company said she’s worn RE Ranger shooting eyewear since her start in competitive shooting more than 16 years ago, at the age of 12.
Rhode wasn’t the only Olympian wearing RE Ranger eyewear at this year’s games. Among others, David Kostelecky of the Czech Republic won the Olympic gold medal, and Hakan Dahlby came in 11th place in the men’s trap, both wearing the Ranger XL.
