AFAIK, The History Channel we see up here is pretty much the history channel the Yanks get...

But - Please let it be better than Shooting USA's "Impossible Shots". Shooting USA is a great show, but they gotta stop re-animating Munden, that lame-ass arrow-shooter and the new guy in the cowboy outfit that shoots blanks quickly at nothing in particular. These guys are just annoying. Even Jerry M. - While supremely talented - just looks bad on camera.

My DVR is set to record every episode of Shooting USA; but as soon as I see "Impossible..." I hit delete.

They should make it the average joe/jane type show, with littel or no experience. that would be better as one can watch skills get better.

 

[Levi Garrett]

Well they got shows, we got shows might even kick their butts

 

[Rupert]

The History channel in Canada won't broadcast it here in Canada like they don't show Mail Call and other shooting shows. It's sad!

Cool concept.

What do others think of this. Would you rather see pros shoot? Or new shooters learn...

One way you get to say you are a better than the pro. The other way you get to say you are a better teacher, or know someone who is.

Rather see pros vs joes approach. They could probably find some dude from the swamps of Louisiana that could shoot the hair off a flies but while jumping from stump to stump in the swamp.
