I'm waiting for Knights new gun for sure.I wish I had bought some of the disc guns that were being sold new for 179 bucks on gunbroker.

yeah unfortunately that's the way it seems to work. Jim Shockey is a prime example. Just ask Knight abou that. It's often marketing and image not substance

they do have nice marco polo sheep there. Nah i'd miss my rockies to much.

I dont think jim shockey did an entire lot for knight. I never saw him on the hunting channels with a knight, only tc. He seems like a good guy though, i enjoy watching his hunts. His father and the older friend are funny as heck. I remember one episode where the old man dropped the F bomb and they missed it and didnt bleep it out

T/C didn't start sponsoring Shockey til 2005. He had already completed his N/A Super Slam and Ultimate Slam by then, mostly with a Knight, although I think he carried a Traditions for a little while

Chet - in 2005 some may not have been allowed to stay up late enough to see him on tv
