MBaneACP Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hi all; It's December 26 and I find myself with two slots still empty for the SHOOTING GALLERY Invitational — TJ bailed for work reasons and TGO never responded. The Outdoor Channel/SHOOTING GALLERY is reserving one of those slots for our choice, but I thought I'd let you guys pick the the other, if you'd like. Here's a list of 10 names...highest vote total by Friday, 30 December, 5PM Mountain gets the invitation. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Loves2Shoot Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Biggest name missing from the list, Travis T, he would get my first vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I voted for Julie, I think she would be a great addition to any shooting program. She would appeal to the ladies in the crowd. (TV audience) dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hell, I'm honored just to be on the list! Wait a minute...I'm at the bottom! Crap! Being on the same weekend as the Florida Open makes things a bit tougher, but there's plenty of shooting to go around! Good luck! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 While everyone on that list are fantastic shooters, I gotta put my vote for my boy JJ. I actually think he should have been one of the first invitees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capizzo Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Just what is the Shooting Gallery Invitational? I don't have cable so I'm a little out of the loop here. I voted, but don't know what they're being invited to do. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgary Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 +1 for Travis Another great choice would be Max. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBaneACP Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Al; As they say in Chicago, vote early and vote often! Anyhow, I had an idea for a made-for-TV shooting event, which would basically pit the top shooters against each other on 6 very specifically designed — very hard — stages. The stages would be designed against the big dawgs' weaknesses, as opposed to playing to their strengths (as is the case with the current iteration of USPSA and IDPA) and be VERY telegenic, designed from the ground up to accomodate the camera. My producing partner and I thought (and still think) we could redefine the way shooting sports are filmed and presented to the public. With the Great Outdoor Games down for 2006 — and possibly the firearms part of the GOG gone for good — there's a huge vacuum on televised shooting sports, and, quite frankly, we wanted to fill it. A second goal was one we identified when I worked with the National Shooting Sports Foundation — do a better job of creating "heroes" and introducing them to a wider media market. TGO and TJ have been the recipients of quite literally millions of dollars in promotion money over more than two decades, yet they are really well known in only a tiny niche. An example would be that our top shooters are much less well known (and less well paid) than professional bowlers, despite the fact that there are many more shooters than bowlers these days. Thirdly, we wanted to "beta-test" a format, with an eye toward a much larger, much broader national match in 2007. It seemed like a good idea at the time, as do so many other things...I now wish I had elected to stay home and drive a nail in my foot, which would be every bit as much fun. LOL! mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standles Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) All on the list are good choices. Personally... I would like to see Matt Burkett play the game. He may not have been grabbing Headlins in the IPSC/USPSA world but he is still tearing up the circuit in the 3 gun world and international arena. I would vote for Matt but since he is not on the list I voted for Julie. Later Edited December 27, 2005 by standles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey QuicksDraw! Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 JJ all the way way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lim10gm Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 How 'bout an under-the-radar, sneak-attack, come from no where kinda guy. I say we pick a less known, but deadly-legit BE.com member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr10x Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Since its sounds like a crossover type match, I'd like to see Brian Zins (like 7 times National Conventional Pistol Champ) have a chance the next time around. (Well, it is my specialty.) He does do a little teaching for the MC now and then and I understand he's dabbling in USPSA with a couple of XD's that somebody has tuned up for him. But I think he's still on the mend from shoulder surgery this November.... CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Conventional Pistol BTW - Bruce Piatt would be another name I would consider strongly on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had your name been added to the above list, it would have been no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 My vote went to Phil. Second choice (not on the list) is TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
