SUMMIT TV SHOW....HIGH PLACES
Has anyone had the chance to see this show yet. I watched it for the first time last weekend on the outdoor channel...or was it the mens channel. anyway it is a high class show.I met Mr. woller and most of the men on the show at some trade shows and it was pretty cool to see them on TV these guys are really down to earth. The show was well done and informative. It was not just a shootem up production. it was like a drury type show although the drurys have a great production. Do yourself a favor and look for it. It is called "high places" if I can come up with the times I wil post them for you.

RE: SUMMIT TV SHOW....HIGH PLACES
Hey Will welcome back!.......I know Kidd642 is taping these shows for me aren't you!?[:-]
(My Dish Network is a slow in coming.
)
I'm sure it's a great show and if the production is being compared to the Drury stuff then that's all I need to know. They are the industry standard IMO for quality production.
It's just too bad that we won't seethat little part thatI wished we'd see on camera.
Can you give us a rundown of the upcoming episodes?
Best of Luck Will ,and if you ever need a "Stand in" for any episodes you know where to find me!

RE: SUMMIT TV SHOW....HIGH PLACES
I have caught A portion of two shows I believe. I think it is really neat how they do it as a family. Classy.
I also like how they breakdown the shots after a hit,with the 3D animation of the animal and penetration of the arrow; discussing and showingshot angles and vitals impacted. To me that is bordering on the genius. Very educational. If it were my show, I would add one thing before they start the shot analysis...Slow motion of the actual impact. In my humble opinion it would enhance their diagnosis. But then again, what do I know about TV, I am just an old hay seed blowing in the wind.
Keep up the good work fellas...

I get crotchety if I'm watching a show and they don't at leastMENTION the hit itself, so this sounds AWESOME! So a person can combine the view of the animal and it's reaction, distance traveled and how the shot is followed up and then compare that to the shot discussion and diagrams?
WOW.
