Bob D., Have you seen the tv series Shooter?

[wyliec]

I just happened to stumble on to it last night. It's relatively new, beginning Nov. 2016. I was really getting into it when the gf asked to watch one of her dramas. So, I only saw about the first 5 minutes. I'll have to do some binge watching since it is up to episode 7. It's on the USA network.

Hi Ron!
Happy New Year! :thumbup:
I'm aware of it; but have decided to not follow it.
Made-up stories about guns, are usually pretty inaccurate.

i binge watched the whole season on sunday, i think it is pretty good. lead character rides an indian scout. what i don't like is
they changed fbi lead character from male to female, i find whenever things like that are done it seems sexist.

We've watched it from the start and really like the show. I can't speak to the accuracy about the guns, but it's really good drama.

It seems that most the new programs are serials and you have to keep up with them or get lost. That's ok, but I have to keep so many stories suspended in my head. It's getting full.

I saw the movie of the same name; but, I'll binge watch b/c they've probably changed things, at least a little.

I'm on episode 7 now, and it's much better than the movie.

Based upon your recommendation: I'll give it a try, and let you know what I think of it. :thumbup:

What can you watch that is accurate these days? You don't even get accuracy from the news anymore. Where is Walter Cronkite when you need him?

Watch it. It's pretty good. Here is the biggest 'AAaahhhhhh!!!! that I got out of it.

The Shooter has an entire building/workshop dedicated to his guns (of which he as many). Equipped with all kinds of specialty tools. He's working on a rare, custom built sniper rifle worth 10's of thousands of dollars. And he's using a CRESCENT WRENCH!? Seriously!? A guy like that wouldn't even OWN a crescent wrench!

Give me a break! Where are the people they hire to at least get some accuracy/reality on these movies.

End of rant... I feel better now!

Do you remember the episode? I'd like to check that out. I know he had a nice worksop; but, doesn't everyone have a crescent wrench laying around?

I did especially like when the bad guy blew part his face off.

Ron,
You just have to find truth wherever you can.
