Well, details for this fiasco really got screwed up as they were passed on.
It turned out that the show, called "Wildlife Chatter," originates out of Covington, TN and it shown on local cable channel 17 there. They filmed our match, including the safety speech and proper loading technique.
A number of guys brought representative pieces from different eras and shooting disciplines. We had an F&I era French fusil, an English sporting rifle, an English long range rifle, several Civil War pieces, a set of cased target pistols with barrels for both flint and percussion classes, original revolvers, a custom Schuetzen rifle, early and late Lancasters in flint and percussion respectively, an Austin/Halleck inline, and several others.
Each shooter gave a 3-4 minute vignette which included introducing himself and his ML experience, describing his particular gun and his favored shooting discipline. Each of these will be featured as "space fillers" thru-out the year.
On a different note, the host's name is Arnold Bull and he is related the the Bull family of E. TN gunmakers. However he had never seen any of their guns. I told him I could probably gather some pictures here and send them to him. If any of you have pictures of Bull guns, please post them. I thought there were some in the archives, but they may have been in the old archives. Haven't had time to search yet.
