Seeking nominations for one person to get training

Tom Gresham · Feb 20, 2015

Moderators, please move this if it should go into a different area.

Kind of an unusual request, but we're going to do an episode of Gun Talk (the TV show) in the Baton Rouge area, and we need one person for this.

The short version is that we're going to take one person to the range for the day to train with carbine, pistol, and probably shotgun. We'll build a story line around it, but this will be real training, and fun also. The trainer is Chris Cerino (of Top Shot fame). Former law enforcement, Air Marshall, federal LE trainer, etc.

So, we're looking for nominations and volunteers. It would be great if the person is a veteran, but that's not required.

Here's the basic info needed.

Name and bio. Family info, work background, military (if applicable) or other service, experience with shooting. If you are nominating someone, please include any other background info you care to.

We'll fill in the blanks with followups. This will be shot in one day, sometime during the week of March 23-28.

Send nominations to Sandra McDougall-Mitchell. sandra@guntalk.com

Thanks.

Tom

Mr Tom,
Can you give a rough idea of the location? I would not want to nominate someone that would be unable to make it due to travel distance.

Dear God yes please make it happen.

I thought he may reappear in time for the release of 50 shades of grey, he may possible hold out for magic mike 2.

You saw that too, huh?

Should be no shortage of nominees from BayouShooter.

Me and my wife were in one of the Season 2 Episodes and it was a great experience. It was mainly focused on the wife, and she did learn a lot(So did I)
Tom, Ryan, Chris & Sandra did an outstanding job and created a relaxed...but safe training opportunity for us. Very professional in how they presented information/training.
Thanks again....we enjoyed it

That would have been awesome

Are you looking for a novice or an experienced shooter?

Doesn't really matter. The bio and personal info will be more important.

We need someone who lives in the Baton Rouge area - or within about 50 miles.

We have found someone for this. Thanks for the input.

We also will be looking for volunteers for the First Person Defender series (season 3), which will be shot later this year.

If given the opportunity, I highly recommend working with Tom Gresham and the crew from First Person Defender. I was also in Season 2 and it was a very good training opportunity for me. They were a great group of people to work with. They have the right concept in presenting real world scenarios that we can all learn from.
Cheers!

Just a followup . . . One BS member went to the range with us in Tuesday of this week. We had a good time. He got a full dose of what it's like to do TV. Think making sausage. The truck got stuck. Pulled out with a tractor. Had to hump the heavy shooting bench up a hill. Haul the steel targets 300 yards downrange because . . . the truck was stuck in the mud.

It was fun. And . . . there was a pretty sweet payoff at the end.

I won't blow his cover. If he wants to announce himself and tell what happened, that's fine. Otherwise, the show will air in late summer.

Thanks to all who responded. I wish we could have taken you all.
