10/5/07
Accokeek, Maryland -- Tom Knapp and Tim Bradley, Benelli's super exhibition shooters will be featured in a mini-show series premiering this weekend on ESPN Outdoors. Each two-and-a-half minute show, produced and filmed by Benelli's own in-house multi-media production facility, will highlight Knapp's and Bradley's amazing shooting talents by showing a variety of amazing shooting techniques they use for their shooting exhibitions. With the aid of Benelli shotguns and Uberti historic replica firearms, Knapp and Bradley display their incredible shooting ability and accomplish some of the most difficult shots ever performed.
The Ubertis used by Knapp and Bradley for the shows include the Rolling Block rife in .22 LR, the 1873 lever rifle the legendary gun that "Won the West," the Henry in .45 LC, and the Cattleman single-action army revolver. For their amazing shotgun feats Knapp and Bradley rely on their trusty Benelli M2s for accomplishing what seems to be impossible.
This show will air every Saturday at 8:56 am on ESPN II HD. Tune in to see some of the most amazing shots you'll ever witness!
Show Descriptions:
· "The Balloon Shot"
Extreme accuracy and lightning speed are needed to shoot targets both in the air and on the ground at the same time.
· "Speed Shooting"
Knapp shows us his specialty—shooting high volumes of hand thrown clay targets.

Knapp puts his Uberti replica of the famous Henry rifle to the test to see if it's really as accurate as it's reputation claims.
· "Raining Targets"
Knapp and Bradley attempt to shoot an incredible 14 hand thrown clay targets out of the sky at the same time.
· "Upside Down and Overhead"
Bradley shows there's more than one way to hold his Benelli shotgun with a shot that has to be seen to be believed.
· "Handle with Care"
Knapp uses his Uberti Rolling Block rifle to see if a clay target is really as fragile as an egg.
· "Tiny Targets"
Bradley proves the accuracy of his Uberti single action army revolver- by hitting the smallest hand thrown target ever.

Using his Uberti Rolling Block rifle, the Legendary Tom Knapp attempts to cut the deck-literally.

Knapp shows us that sometimes it's how you hold the gun that makes the shot.
