History Channel: "Extreme Marksmen", on right now! (9-11pm 06-02)

Extreme Marksmen, on right now.

Looks like a show about uncanny shooting abilities. Just finished a segment with the official Benelli shooter guy (don't know his name) that likes shooting ridiculous numbers of hand-thrown clays before they hit the ground. They just showed him putting a BB (or some kind of small-caliber bullet) through a hand-thrown steel washer.

On 9-11pm 06-02-2008. I'll be watching.

 

[JWarren]

Just put it on.


Thanks for the head's up!

If that's the one I think it is I've seen it a couple times. Absolutely amazing stuff they're doing.

Tom Knapp. Didn't show it on this show, but he also shoots aspirins out of the sky with his BRNO .22.

I saw Jerry Miculek during the preview. Hope they feature him as well. Great show so far.

 

[Grizfire]

Just set a recording for the next showing.

thanks

 

[Rubber_Duck]

[Thernlund]

[RancidSumo]

Holy ****, remind me not to piss that Jerry Miculek guy off!!

 

[Evocatii]

HD DVR! Ah HA!

 

[RancidSumo]

Woah! How did he shoot both those balloons with one shot?

 

[RancidSumo]

I doubt I could do most of this stuff at contact distance.

 

[Tom609]

What there life before the DVR?

 

[Sergeant Sabre]

Woah! How did he shoot both those balloons with one shot?

He shot the sharp metal plate that was positioned between them. It split the bullet, with each piece popping one of the balloons.

 

[RancidSumo]

There's another guy I don't want to piss off.

It's a new one. Same set-up as the first episode a few months ago but new tricks and high speed cameras.

 

[NAK]

Thank god for the dvr...shoot or 'The Girls Next Door'

Would have been a tough decision

 

[RancidSumo]

I have to say that the cowboy action shooter is the best shot I've ever seen.

*shrug* The little stunt with the rope shooting didn't seem that impressive to me. 20 feet is just shy of 7 yards. It isn't hard to hit a half inch target, using a rifle when you're that close.

 

[FieroCDSP]

I found myself suggesting the wadcutter bullet several seconds before the narrator mentioned it. Does that qualify me as an official reloader?

 

[FieroCDSP]

Then they follow it up with a show in which the woman in the opener descrives the Thompson SMG as a "weapon of mass destruction." Just to offset the positive image of guns given the previous show.

 

[GigaBuist]

I did the same thing. Fiancee and I had a good laugh about it.

I'd say the fishing line was damn impressive.

 

[The Highlander]

Just missed it. I'll have to catch the re-run.
