This Week at Orion: Shooting Stars: Salute to Service Week 5

See what happens when six of the best showmen trick shooters and celebrity shotgunners turn the Texas night into an explosion of pyrotechnic targets and firepower with thousands of fans adding to a Football Game-like carnival atmosphere.

It's big guns, electrifying shots, and plenty of rivalry and laughter as the lost art of Annie Oakley exhibition shooting meets modern firearms, science, and big event entertainment.




Shooting Stars Week 5


The fifth episode of Shooting Stars: Salute to Service acknowledges the weekend warriors who enjoy our nation's great outdoors. The first event is a tribute to the legendary author and outdoorsman Ernest Hemingway, who used to hunt flying fish from the bow of his boat, as our competitors sit side-by-side in small boats while shooting at clay targets skipping off the water.

The second event mimics the traditional pheasant hunt, as the competitors take aim at outgoing targets thrown in random directions by a wobble-trap. The final event pits the teammates in a duck blind as they open the door and shoot at incoming targets.

Shooting Stars: Salute to Service airs on Discovery's Velocity Channel this Saturday at 8PM EST.
