EricW Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Jim and John (Jim's son) Scoutten are one class act. For all the criticism I leveled at ShootingUSA and OLN over the USPSA coverage, both *still* put their best foot forward and gave me publicity that will take a long time for me to ever afford to buy. Boy, do I feel like a blowhard after this. Jim and John, Thank you for being bigger men than I. Thank you for the opportunity. And thank you for the simply spectacular coverage of USPSA and *all* the shooting sports lately. While there are several shooting-oriented TV shows now, none have the same touch of class that you've brought to the table. I have two, new role models today. Best Regards, Eric (And yes, I did call and thank them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Well, now I know why it is a balmy 1 degree above outside....hell truly has frozen over. But that's classy Eric... But where/when was all this fabulous coverage of your stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberkid Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 to add a quick story..... I shot my first Bianchi Cup when I was only 17, and at the awards banquet I stopped Mr. Scoutten and asked for a picture with him, so I could show my buddies when I got back home. I was in awe of all these famous people around me, with eyes as big as saucers. Not only did he take the picture, but he sat for a half hour with me and my folks and just chatted. No interview, no camera, just talked like a real human being. A true class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I just caught the episode where Eric's Grips were plugged. I thought it was a great episode. I did notice Doug Koenig was entering the shooting box wrong (at least according to what I learned watching Matt Burkett's videos), but I don't think I'll try to correct him! Then Shooting Gallery has me thinking of a CZ 75 and production division. Good night for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Nicely done, Eric. Congratulations. Unfortunately I don't subscribe to cable or satellite so I can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Cool! Better ramp up production. (John, start a thread on that "entering the box" stuff, so that we can talk about it...it is needed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Baby boy waking me up to eat at 4am after going to bed at 12am.... Looking ahead on OLN to see what will be on at 9am and seeing USPSA! Making sure to get up to watch it. Feeding my future shooter while watching a great portrayal of our Sport, guns, gear, and Eric's Tru-grip, Priceless! P.S. Mr Scoutten, could you please quit dropping the slide on the 1911s please, it made me wince everytime.... This sucker ought to be made available as a dvd/vhs tape to play at Gun shows, shops, etc.!
