OUTDOOR TV
Frankfort, Kentucky- Marksmanship has come a long way since the days of the cowboy – all the way to Jackson County, Kentucky. The story is told this weekend, June 13 and 14, on “Kentucky Afield” television.

Few things evoke the Old West like the cowboy and his shooting irons. Those days are still very much alive in Jackson County’s Hooten Old Town. Host Tim Farmer enjoys a day with the Single Action Shooting Society where participants enjoy a rootin’ tootin’ style of target shooting in preparation for the next Hooten Holler Roundup.

Also on the show, if you want to target fishing action, consider dams along the Ohio River. Farmer joins Ellis Pappas in the shadow of the Louisville skyline at McAlpine Dam. In the churning waters, drum and other fish drum up a good time.

“Kentucky Afield” is a production of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. It is the longest continuously-running outdoor television show in the nation. The program airs Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /7:30 p.m. Central and is repeated Sunday at 4 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Central on KET 1 and on the Internet at fw.ky.gov.
