New Series "Top Shot" Premiering

This week I was contacted directly by The History Channel, to participate in a promotion about their new upcoming show "Top Shot" that premieres on Sunday, June 6th at 10pm  EST (http://www.history.com/shows/top-shot).

Sixteen of the nation's most skilled marksmen have been carefully selected to compete for the title. Some have professional shooting experience, some are amateurs--and all will showcase breathtaking timing, speed and accuracy in their quest to win the $100,000 prize package and the title of "Top Shot." The winner will ultimately have to be skilled in everything from muzzle-loading muskets and modern pistols to slingshots and throwing knives.

Each week, contenders will face both team and individual elimination challenges until one winner remains. Every challenge will focus on the weapons, technologies and techniques of different historical eras as hi-speed HD cameras capture the skillful execution of each test in extreme slow-motion.

They are also promoting several cool contests currently going on with Xbox.
