The sharp, staccato echo of gunfire punctuated the humid air of Santo Domingo. It wasn't the kind of gunfire that makes headlines for the wrong reasons. This was different – this was sport, focus, and a quiet sort of national pride playing out as Mexico's shooting team found its mark at the XIV Championship of the Americas.

Among the athletes were Alejandra Ramírez Caballero, Victoria Antopia Palacios, and Cinthya Clemenz Maya, a trifecta of steely-eyed women ready to prove that shooting in Mexico transcends stereotypes. Facing off against the might of the United States' team, they walked away with a silver medal in the women's team Olympic shotgun event. It was a tense match. Shots rang out, clay pigeons shattered, and while gold proved elusive, their silver shone like a beacon of skill and determination.
