NBC Broadcast Schedule for 2008 Olympic Games

SHOOTING FANS…IN LESS THAN A MONTH…THE GAMES BEGIN ON 8.8.08!

23 years ago I had my first opportunity to pick up an Anshutz 1807 rifle and began target shooting competitively for 3 years of High School.  I was never really that good compared to the great individuals on my team like Gary Harding and Rob and Rich.  I had some amazing coaches though and I carry those same skills I learned while shooting competitively in NRA and Acorn Matches all across Virginia into my everyday life...

I hope you will all join me in watching as many of the shooting matches as possible and showing NBC and the world that we support USA Shooting and ARCHERY AS WELL.......

Please take a look at the NBC Schedule and their information...
