I am not watching any of them for a while. I cut off my directv this month. I will pick up a couple of them on the internet at some point.

Most of the shows that I have watched on the sportsman channel are well done. This was on Dish and I don't recall the name of the program. I was surprised by the content ( or lack there of).

Personally , I don't care how anyone chooses to dress or their outward grooming habits. Tats....I am a blank canvas. However, I have friends who have some amazing art work applied and some with Saigon blobs they wish they never got. I just don't think people who dress in semi gang apparel ( knit caps , wife beater Ts etc.). Present the best to anti, or undecided uneducated public. I want to keep my weapons. I think we need to put our best foot forward. Not look like someone I'm crossing the street to get away from. Full auto is great and fun to shoot. It is just not the only form of shooting that needs to be promoted. Especially one handed auto that is just blasting . I've done that also but I don't film it . Emptying a 50 round drum from a Tommy can be a hoot. Gets expensive, but it is a hoot.

I don't object to beards or shaved heads. I would just like to see the gun community portrayed in a wholesome light. Not a bunch of scruffy guys shooting full autos at nothing in particular.

I just don't think they come off as good ambassadors for our sport. The general public just sees whanabe thugs shooting their full auto silenced " black" rifles at no particular target. I don't care, but John Q. Public may think it seems mindless and pointless.

Any person that you might want your daughter to date. I don't think knit caps with something stuck under it needs to be constant attire nor to I think guys with long scraggly beards and shaved heads do us any favors.

I recently purchased a Dish TV package. I haven't had cable type TV for the past 20 years. I caught a couple of firearm and 2A shows tonight. If these are examples of current programming, we are in a world of hurt with any fence setting folks.
