I don't think it is a weekly show, just a 1-off, a follow-up to their previous Extreme Marksman show.Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings . . . .
I did like the inclusion of the M1A1 Abrams as an "expert marksman". I actually chuckled at first - after all, with the explosive power of their ordnance anyone can be an "expert" marksman! Then they showed the tank hitting (not exploding) a plywood target at almost 2 clicks - with a rookie just out of the simulator crew. Not too shabby.
And the bullwhip segment was cool - I found myself thinking - "I need to get one of those!!!"
When a 2 foot long dart made of depleted uranium hits at OVER 1 MILE PER SECOND it doesn't need any explosives to do the job.
