Hi all;
Just a note to say SHOOTNG GALLERY's new season is up and running on The Outdoor Channel this week. I KNOW we're still in the Sunday 10:30PM Eastern time slot. I THINK we're also back to the Monday 4PM E and Wednesday midnight E slot.
Our unprecedented high ratings have held through the first season of repeats, so we're all still Happy Campers.
This season we tried to focus on the "take-home" value of the shows, plus strike a few blows for political correctness—once Ted Nugent called us "the ballsiest show on television," what else could I do? Out of 13 shows, I figure there's about 10 with stuff noboody's EVER seen on teevee!
In other SHOOTING GALLERY news, we won two major prizes at the NSSF/Outdoor Writers "Good Shots; Great Stories" competition--a first for the TEQUILA episode and a third for the I'M WITH WALT IDPA episode, in a category previously totally dominated by ESPN programming.
Season 3, we'll begin our transition to HDTV in anticipation of the new all-HDTV Outdoor Channel. Great big cameras, but, man, the images make it worth it.
The new COWBOYS! show is on schedule for a January 2005 premiere (26 episodes of SG; 26 episodes of COWBOYS!...good lord, what was I thinking?), with 5X cowboy action shooting world champion Richard TEQUILA Young hosting.
We're still on target for the first Outdoor Channel Cup national handgun championships in 2005. My current thinking is October at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio. Lots of details still to be worked out (and any one of them can derail us!), but I feel pretty good about this.).
As always, my door's open for comments! Let me know how you like the new season!
