Dikeç had also become the focus of interest for not needing equipment in his shots.
The 51-year-old national athlete spoke to Radio Gol about their success and shot achieved with Tarhan.
'The world is not talking about me, the world is talking about Turkey. We are just a symbol. There is no negativity from our ministry or federation regarding the equipment, this is my own preference. While the whole world is shooting with one eye, I am doing it with both eyes. I researched this a lot and saw that it can be shot more healthily. There is no connection between me shooting with my hand in my pocket and showing off. I feel more motivated and comfortable while shooting.'
