\nIn preparation for one of the reality shows challenges, team leaders Terry Schappert (Blue Team) and Adam Hamon (Black Team) came to MidwayUSA to sit down with founder and CEO Larry Potterfield and discuss suitable products that might be used to outfit a long distance precision rifle.\u00a0 In Episode 9 of the adrenaline-fueled competition, each remaining S.W.A.T. operator member will be responsible for accessorizing a rifle able to withstand extreme distance and wind conditions in a long range challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you would have told me 35 years ago that one day a helicopter was going to land in the MidwayUSA parking lot for a TV show, I wouldn\u2019t have believed you,\u201d said Potterfield.\u00a0 \u201cIt was an honor having the ETU team leaders here and showcasing all the wonderful products that MidwayUSA offers our Customers.\u201c<\/p>\n

Last month, MidwayUSA also announced their role as the Official Sponsor of the shows Command Centers, two vehicles that will accompany each of the two ETU S.W.A.T. teams throughout the course of the show.
\n\u201cEvery time I come out to MidwayUSA, I\u2019m always impressed by the facility and the number of different products they have available to their Customers,\u201d said Director Tim Cremin.\u00a0 \u201cLarry Potterfield has a wealth of knowledge on all things firearm related, so Terry and Adam were able to get some great shooting tips from a great teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cElite Tactical Unit: S.W.A.T.\u201d premieres in January 2013 on Outdoor Channel during MidwayUSA’s Wednesday Night at the Range.\u00a0 For more information, visit www.outdoorchannel.com.<\/p>\n
