The Story Behind Honoring an Old Veteran
by Jim Scoutten</span>

It really did start with an e-mail message from Ted Gundy. He was already a viewer of Shooting USA, so he knew how to send me a message.

He wrote that he couldn’t imagine how today’s snipers made shots out to 1,000 yards, that he couldn’t have done that when he was a sniper during the Battle of the Bulge. And, while he had always been a shooting enthusiast and a hunter, he wondered if I could arrange for him to try a shot at that distance.

I work with Ted Gundy's son Mike. Mike is extremely proud of his dad's military service and has shared his father's experiences during WWII.

While we had heard the stories, knew about the trip to Ft. Benning, and knew there would be a television show, nothing prepared us for the emotion of watching this episode of Shooting USA.

Now we are thinking about trying to find a "beyond 1000 yard" experience for Ted. No television show, just entertainment for an old guy who likes to shoot. If you know of an ELR facility within a few hours of Memphis, Missouri, drop me a line.
