I'm at work and the TV is on. Just finished watching the finals of the national match, Norwegian "CMP/NRA" type high power rifle. I understand the US nationals are taking place these days too.

I just thought you might find it interesting that the largest national TV station had the following coverage of our matches:
Thursday: 7.30 - 8.25 pm
Friday: 10.10 - 11.00 pm
Saturday: 3.45 - 5.15 pm

I know this is competition, I'm posting in General because I'm thinking more about the TV aspect than the competition itself.

3 hours and 15 minutes of TV coverage isn't too bad for what after all is a sport that isn't that exciting to watch on TV. The results and maybe a short clip will get on the various news broadcasts later tonight.

I'm under the impression your networks aren't very interested in the shooting sports?
 
I've never seen shooting coverage on network TV.
The sports channels often will air shooting events, though. Especially OLN.
