GIMME YOUR MONEY OR DIE….. I have to admit, this pic kinda scared me.
I never aspired to be on TV. But this was a SHOOTING reality show and after seeing some of my friends on Season 1 and having one of them convince me to audition, I thought, why not? Bucket list…blah blah. So I sent in my audition video and before I knew it, I received a phone call saying that I was in. The first thought that went through my head was, What have I gotten myself into?? It was right smack in the peak of the shooting season last year (September-October-ish). I was fighting for a spot to make it into the World Shoot Team and I had to make a decision. Practice for that spot or practice for Top Shot? Of course, the team came in first so I did my thing and thankfully landed the third spot for the team.
We all had to fly to L.A. for filming RIGHT AFTER Nationals. Luckily, I know Maggie and Chris Tilley, having shot with them many times in the past so it was nice to have people you know right off the bat. In a nutshell, I had an awesome time, made friends with 15 awesome people and despite my horrendous showing, didn’t regret doing it. Here’s a link to an in-depth interview that I did with Cheaper than Dirt. I went out in full-auto. I can’t ask for anything more awesome than that!!
