Hi Friends, Pilgrim Films (produces some popular reality shows like American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, & Ultimate Fighter) came across our web site & youtube videos and decided to hire me, to be in a show the history channel will be airing. The show is called “Top Shot”. It’s a series of competition episodes, featuring top marksmen competing for a $100,000 prize as they reenact history’s most celebrated feats of marksmanship. The host of the show is Colby, from survivor. I’ll be in the English Archery episode as the Expert Archer. I’ll be demonstrating how to shoot bows, teaching the contestants, and will give some background on English Archery. Lots of neat stuff! Half the show will have me in it, and the other half will have a crossbow expert. It was a total blast! My first time on a big show, so I probably will be quite funny to you all ;D. I’m still not a pro in front of a camera. A ham, yes, but not a pro. The series of episodes airs Sunday nights at 10/9c, June 6th. I’ll be on June 20th. If you have some time, tune in and check it out. I’ll send out a reminder a couple days before I’m aired. www.history.com/shows/top-shot YouTube Announcement VideoThought I’d add my youtube announcement video to the thread. We left in some bloopers, to add some humor. Slow Motion Shot on the Set:

WHAT!?!?! AWESOMENESS!!!!!! I watch history and discovery almost exclusively, and I saw a commecial for this series a few days ago... I thought it looked like it could be one of the better shows on the channel. Kudos to you for being on it; I will TOTALLY record the episode. +1, I wish I could give you 10! ;D Later, Slayer

That is very cool! I hope it leads to more big productions for you. Hollywood could use some "historical" weapons experts to make sure they are doing things right...like not shooting the CGI arrow off the wrong side of the bow.

You guys are great !! Thanks for the karma! Yes, I'd say the episode would be available on-line, once it's aired.

How cool is that! But sadly I won't be able to see you in your 15 minutes of fame. No cable. Glad you had a chance to have such an exciting experience though.

Congrats! Hope they don't dumb this show down like they do with seemingly everything else I see that's supposed to be 'intellectual'. Oh, let's put a bunch of explosions in it to make it palatable to the average joe! Sorta like... this: www.theonion.com/articles/science-channel-refuses-to-dumb-down-science-any-f,2897/ ;D Anyways, good luck on the show! Nice to have someone who actually knows what they're doing on t.v. for once. Maybe you'll get some advertising in too! ;D

Thanks guys. I can't say a lot, but there will be lots of sharp things, loud things, and explosions ;D. The rest of it falls under the stinking privacy contract . Chris
