In the 1930s, there was a man in the Hungarian army who was determined to be the best pistol shooter in the world. He practiced very hard and by 1936 he was not only Hungary’s best but a world class shooter. His name was Karoly Takacs. Karoly’s dream was to win the Olympic Gold medal as that is the highest honour a shooter can get. Unfortunately, he was denied a place in the Hungarian team as he was a sergeant. In those days in Hungry only commissioned officers were allowed to compete.
