Old Man Graybeard Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Watching it for the third episode. Seems like it could be a lot better than it is. Not sure what would improve it…but the way it’s done now just doesn’t really do anything for me. Maybe if they used cowboys and Mountain Men instead of modern type shooters…or if it’s just the way they are setting up the scenarios. Hope they get it figured out.

Frederick Jackson Turner Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Glad you're watching! Everyone involved is hoping there will be a second season, and that Colby (who spent FIVE seasons hosting Top Shot) and myself will have some greater input on the challenges and the competitors. It's intended to showcase weapons from the Mountain Man era, but that is just the jumping off point. And, in any case, it's great to have a firearms themed show on the air, pushing back against the skewed liberal view of firearms.

Kid Rich Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 We have been watching it and thinking maybe a few cowboys and girls might liven it up a bit. It is interesting. I used to do a bit of that stuff in the past. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null N. Void Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Some period clothes would go with the period guns. Shorts and T shirts with muskets doesn’t work in a visual medium. It doesn’t enhanse the theme. Null N. Void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Supposedly shot in Montana. I hope not. Anyone using glass bottles for targets is an idiot. You can never pick up all the glass shards. I would like to see the 2 so-called experts do the challenge to see if they ae any good at these courses.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I've tried, but just can't thru a whole episode. I just can't get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Jackson Turner Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 All stages undergo proof of concept testing before the competitors engage them. And here are the credentials for your hosts: https://www.history.com/shows/mountain-men-ultimate-marksman/cast Some intriguing thoughts, thanks!

Then he made the mistake of sending me a persknal message asking how he could get involved in CAS and WR. Look where he is now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 We are not able to watch it. Everything we have tried has refered us to get a code, and without a tv/cable/other provider, we can not get the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm...I get where you are going, without seeing the show...but knowing you! I believe we need to step away from the words Mountain Men and focus on the ULTIMATE MARKSMEN. Mountain men used the tools of the time that they had. CAS uses the tools of the time that existed from 1885-1889 (for the most part) This show, I suppose is using any tool thinkable from past to present. Glad the Mountain Man program has taken this on.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Keep in mind. This is NOT a CAS promotional show (although with FJT on board, it will surely build interest) We continue to lose good people in our sport, because of negativity going on across the country. Lets not continue that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
