I just got back from vacation in the great woods of Western Maine and after unloading the truck and puting everything away I turned on the TV to the Outdoor chanel and was plesently suprised to see Thompson Center has their own TV show. And they have some great names on their team. Last night they hunted Antalope. This is going to be a show right up our alley. And Jim Shockey is on the team I guess he is doing double duty. I hope everyone gets a chance to see this show as there just aren't too many shows with muzzle loading in it.

Yep - I probably saw the same program, Mike. If nothing else, T/C is spending lots of money on advertising. I'm sure there isn't another gunmaker that has as many commercials featuring as many well-known persons as T/C. For what I've observed on the hunting shows, they must have supplied (or at least offered) every person with a program with a new Encore last year - or maybe the year before, since most shows are made a year in advance. All of a sudden, EVERYBODY was shooting an encore!
BTW - I have absolutely nothing against T/C - this is just some observations I have made while watching too much TV
