Glen shows off new Eberlestock gear[/caption]Glen's story, the story of how Eberlestock came to be is truly unique. After competing in the 1984 Winter Olympics, Glen turned his brilliant mind towards designing better, lighter weight stocks for the U.S. Biathlon Team. Unsurprisingly, the U.S. Team started winning as the poundage of their rifles was significantly less than that of their competitors. From here, Glen went on to serve as a pilot in the United States Air Force flying the F-4 Wild Weasel and the A-10 Warthog. Working as a Forward Air Controller in the Hog, Glen got some firsthand engagement with the guys on the ground.[caption id="attachment_16722" align="alignnone" width="750"]
