This email was sent to me by Larry Ahlman of Ahlman's 3,000 Guns in Morristown, MN. For those of you not familiar, it's the home base of the Minnesota Militia Paintball Team. It's also the location of the Giant Big Game VII (aka the fort game).

******************************

The Discovery Channel has a new series called, "Wreck-reation Nation." In Jan., they sent a camera crew to Ahlman's Range (So. Minn.) and filmed tanks dodging cannon fire and grenades -- as a recreational pursuit.

Concerned with giving guns a bad image, there was some reluctance on our part. Other than banning small arms, we had little control over the filming and zero control of the script and story that will be put together to describe these actions. Now we're sort of holding our breath, hoping we've helped rather than hurt the cause of gun ownership.

We're told that this will be aired TONIGHT on the Discovery Channel (182?) at 9:00 Central Standard Time. Turn on your TV and watch it if you get the chance.

They have been doing a good job so far.

I will tune in.

They already did a show on scenario paintball/woodsball. That would have been neat to have him come out to Splat Tag, since Dave Mordahl IS a MN native. beret:)

I did. It was kind of a bust. :( You got to see some of Larry Ahlman's land, but they don't make any mention of Ahlman's, his land, the fact that there is a full-scale fort on the premises, or anything for that matter. It's all about Drive-A-tank.

Sorry, but I guess this was kind of a let-down.

Note to Paintballers:
I noticed on your forum that several missed the Discovery channel filming of tanks at Ahlmans.
This will be re-run again on Sat. Morning, 10:00 AM (central) on April 4th. For those of you that missed it, try to catch it next Sat. Mike Ahlman is one of the tank drivers and it's fun to watch.
