SNIPER?

[Guest proudsuthrner]

there is supose to be a show on the History Channel tonight on snipers and it looks interesting and like it's gonna be a good one. just thought i'd see if anyone else heard about it. if not,, now you do:koolaid:

[willis68]

Yes, I set it up to record the series, I love the History Channel

[trblmkr13]

I hope they talk about Carlos Hathcock he is still a legend in the USMC

[Guest proudsuthrner]

yea he was the man, i think they're gonna talk about the canadian sniper that hit his target at 1.5 miles in afghanistan. atleast that is what the synopsis said on their website

There's GOOD and then there's OMG GOOD. I can't imagine a good story on the history of snipers that doesn't mention Hathcock's name.

Thanks for the tip. I missed the start of the 9PM run but the DVR is set for it at 1AM.

[Smith]

There about to show Mewinehy'e 16 shot 16 kills! That's some nerve right there.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Forgot about it just set the DVR.

[Smith]

They're about to show the 1.5 mile shot. To bad the sniper was Canadian!

However, the Rufus .50 round that took out 3 insurgents behind a cinder block wall at 1 mile is darn impressive! Nice shot Reichert!

Watched it in REAL time last night...excellent show...plus the show attempted to recreate the shots under range conditions...hoe it repeats sometime this week...it was a good 2 hours

[ttocswob]

Good show, all points above covered. Nice seeing Ronnie Barrett's masterpiece in action, too!

[MikeW]

Good stuff....I liked seeing the gear in action. I wish that I could find the missing piece to my M40A1 return stock spec-build (Unertl MST-100). I saw one or two on the show last night.

Yes, I recorded it but have not watched it yet. There is also a four part series on snipers that is listed under history on On-Demand that is good.

I also set it to record the show about the M16. I walked by and caught part of it; they were filming at Sabre Defence in Nashville and showing manufacturing.

They also filmed at BigJ45's range here locally, where the E. TN TGO shoot was held this past June. They're covering the guys from Predator Custom Shop, and our very own BigJ45 actually makes an appearance, if I recall correctly.

You recall correctly. One of the Vietnam Vets they interviewed, Phil McPeak, lives here in Knoxville. Have known him for years.

Apparently this show was produced in Tennessee.

[G27]

They spent some time @ T1G as well (during the Hathcock bit).

I liked the show.

[Oh Shoot]

Rats, Sniper: Inside the Crosshairs, isn't airing again in next 14 days.

Thanks for the OnDemand mention about the other one, though.

Got to watch it this afternoon, great show. I really liked the way that they tried to reenact the shoots.

Your Kidding, was this the guy in Vietnam that had 16 kills in 30 seconds ?

[Garufa]

No! We're getting shows cross-wired. The guy I'm talking about was featured on the M-16 show (which was full of inaccuracies and BS) that came on after the sniper show.

[Guest m14man]

if you like snipers read about this guy

Simo Häyhä - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simo Häyhä

Anyone called "the white death" has got to be incredible, no?

[Guest m14man]

greatest sniper of all time

[trblmkr13]

700+ kills in 100 days is a one man army

[Guest m14man]

tell me about it he was just a good ole country boy, very very humble to.
