If you are skilled with a pistol, rifle or any other firearm, you could win $100,000 in prizes on TV's first marksmanship competition show. The History Channel and the producers of The Ultimate Fighter are looking for anyone with mind-blowing shooting skills and a big personality to take on exciting physical challenges with multiple guns and mystery projectile weapons.
It doesn't matter if you're a professionally trained shooter or a self-taught, average Joe (or Jane!). As long as you're in good physical shape, have mastered a firearm and can adapt to new weapons and demanding physical situations, you could be America's first "Top Shot."
APPLY TODAY!
To apply, email sydleier@gmail.com with your name, city/state, phone number, a recent photo of yourself and a brief explanation of why you should be on the show. Deadline to apply is January 18, 2010. For more information, visit www.pilgrimfilms.tv and click on "CASTING" or call 818-728-3729 TODAY!
* Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, a resident or citizen of the United States and reasonably proficient with shooting and marksmanship

    Well [V] which is it?[?] I don't have mind-blowing shooting skills but I am reasonably proficient with shooting and marksmanship. [:)] {/edit} And what kind of mystery weapons we talking about?

    Sounds like a lot of fun...'cept I don't want to go showing off my 'physique'. Girls go so wild over this 5'8" 300lb., hunka burnin' love-man. Especially now that my winter coat of back hair (1 1/2" already!) is coming in nicely and they have a warm place to snuggle[:D]

    Seriously, if I have to do any running...it's not worth it. I'll watch the show though.

    all expenses paid?

    btw....being fit has NOTHING to do with being able to 'hit your mark.' if it did, youd be looking for a warrior, not a master shot.

    its called being a MARKSMAN, not some hollywood hunk that looks good on camera.[;)]

    all this show will do is attract top champs in every disipline, allowing them to self promote themselves with no real goal of winning.

    what the show should do is give invites to the established annual CHAMPS from every disipline, to put them against each other.

    having a joe go against a world speed record holder in fast draw is not sport, it would be public suicide.

    this is why CLASSES are established for beginners and experts. its not fair to match a millionere sponsored shooter against a guy who is so dirt poor he has to borrow a friends gun to shoot.

    and if you dont think money effects marksmanship, think again. travel and practice costs money.[;)]

    and on a another note...isnt this ADVERTISING? shouldnt it be in an auction? heck, all i did was post i was holding a clinic and my thread got wiped off this forum.[xx(]

    My Resume...
    26yr old 5'9"ish 200lb (plus / minus 75lbs... ok plus) Italian American. To keep in tip top physical shape, I play Wii, walk to the car often, lift as many 12oz "weights" as I can on Friday and Saturday nights, and do frequent high-altitude hiking (between 1-4 times a year when I am hunting in the Rockies) when hiking I cut my smoking down to about 15 cigarettes a day instead of the normal 20-30. I stick to a strict diet of vegetables (anything fried in vegetable oil counts as vegetables, right?) never eat meat... that isn't cooked... except prosciutto... and sushi. Run almost daily (when I really gotta pee). I'm really into sports, I play billiards watch football, basketball and MMA as much as possible
    Shooting skills;
    I can't hit a 18" x 24" target more than 4 times per mag at 20 yards with my .45acp
    I can't hit a duck at 15 yards, on the water, swimming towards me with my 12ga
    But I can hit 10 out of 10 sparrows (8 head / neck shots)at 70 yds with the cheapest .22 that my local store had in stock, a savage 64
    I can shoot sub moa at 200 yds with my .30-06 (happened once [:D] it might happen again)
    What d'ya think??? Am I in?
