Has anyone else been watching this show on the History Channel? It's pretty cool. Kind of like a Survivor with guns and without the irritating drama. You ought to check it out. I think the next new episode is on Sunday night.
Caught the show the other night where the collector was firing early American flintlocks at "the broad side of a barn" i.e. a large wooden target. The inaccuracy of the non-rifled barrel was so profound it made you wonder how anyone not in a volley line could be effective with one. It also makes me question the historical accuracy of "Last of the Mohicans" where Daniel Day-Lewis is picking off the guys in the forrest, at night, while the messengers are trying to run from the fort.
I think we've already seen a bit of that. Kelly is a competitive rifle shooter, and the guy that got eliminated was an ex-Marine, wasn't he? I've always thought that every Marine was a rifleman, but apparantly that statement doesn't hold true across the board.and other military/police types compares with the technical expertise of the competition rifle shooters.
I got through all but the last 20 minutes this morning before I had to leave for work, but I'll finish watching it tonight.
I don't like the competition shows where the competitors are voted off, or into elimination by their teammates. I would rather see the competitors with the least amount of skill or the ones that choke leave, rather than the ones that can't make friends.
Whoever the guy was that voted for Kelly to go to elimination because Mike wanted to go against the best literally was shooting his team in the foot. If you think the kid is the best and could help your team win why would you risk putting him out.
Brad was the guy that volunteered to go, and if I were the other guys on the team I would have taken him up on the offer.

Sorry, I know better than that. I should have said that he was formerly in the Marines. My bad!What's an ex-Marine?
