I'm not much into reality shows, but at 3 am there's not much else on except infomercials for pyrex.
But anywho, I'm watching an episode this morning and in it AtzLee Sr. is out hunting with his daughter-in-law, and Eivin is hunting with his wife. In both cases the women pulled up their guns and sighted thru the scope with omr eye. Then the next shot of them is with the gun on the opposite shoulder. Eivin's wife actually shot after moving the side her gun was on. Atzlee's DIL never shot, but every shot of her had the gun on a different shoulder.
Also I've never put my eyes that far away from the scope. Eivin's wife was darn near at the end of the stock.
Does anyone else hold their gun that far back?

lol she got a bad scope eye couple years back she will never have her eye close again Well that would probably clear me from getting close again too. I've gotten tapped a time or 40 but never anything more than a little scrape.

racer it always amazes me watching shows with people shooting and how horrible their posture is. Half of them look like a kid with a bb gun with a stock that's too long for them.

After seeing their ability with guns, I have decided they are only a notch above the group in Brown town.

You’re watching fictional TV programming, just like Hawaii 5-0 or Seinfeld or any other show. I don’t even bother complaining about the realism in Hollywood gun handling.

I enjoy watching the Kilchers. Why you all got to be so nasty about everything?  Can't you just watch it for the entertainment value, instead of nit-picking every little thing? Some of you probably even make fun of professional wrestling.

Some of you probably even make fun of professional wrestling. Wait, why would someone make fun of professional wrestling??? :-) I'm going to call WWE today and offer my services as a lawyer to represent professional wrestling against MLB. Have you ever watched the benches clear in an MLB game? Biggest hype there is . . . and no one ever throws a punch. I think the WWE has grounds to sue the MLB over copyright infringement. WWE started fake violence and over the passage of time, certainly has the right to claim they are the first and best at it, but I dunno. You watch a couple of baseball "brawls," and you get the idea the MLB has one-upped the WWE.

Some of you probably even make fun of professional wrestling. I can't watch pro wrestling in my house. My wife sits there the whole show going "That ain't fair. Why do they let him get away with that? He's such a cheater." One of these days I'm going to roll my eyes so hard at her they're going to get stuck looking backwards.

I heard they were going to give her the boot. But she threatened to sue them over the snow machine incident. So they kept her on.

I met Grandpa Kilcher in 1981. I used his homestead for a basecamp for 3 months while climbing in the Kenai Range. Would kayak across Kachemak Bay.
Yeah, I think he was the real deal. Hard working son of a gun. He played hard too. I have pictures of him rolling around the yard inside a round stock feeder he had modified with handles on the inside. It was a real hoot to watch. He'd eat puschki and nettles. I remember him dancing with girls at Alice's Champagne Palace in Homer.
Really fun and it brings back memories for me when I watch the show. I slept a couple nights in that octagon structure. He called it the Yoga or Meditation House back then. It was a nice break from the tent for sure.
Moosetrot Well THAT is cool!

I thought the story was she was going to sue because she said she was deprived medical attention from the accident and then figured out she would be kicked off the show if she sued and decided not to.

Grapestomper, they were not paving the road. That's a Kenai peninsula Borough maintained road and they were just doing an upgrade on it. Widened it out, put in new culverts, better ditch drainage, and about a foot lift of gravel on it. Still just a gravel road, no pavement on it. But yeah, things are not exactly as portrayed on TV,
lol.
Atz, Otto, and all their siblings, did see some hard times growing up there in the '50's and 60's, as did homestead families all over Alaska during that time.
