What Is Mountain Men: Ultimate Marksman About?

The eight-part series tests some of the world's top marksmen and markswomen using centuries-old historical weapons like primitive knives, bows, and firearms. Competitors will navigate several distances, precision, and obstacle challenges - each designed and based on the history of the American frontier. It's a showdown that will put their weapons knowledge, accuracy skills, and unique techniques to the ultimate test with competitors on a mission to earn the title of "Ultimate Marksman" and win $10,000.

Throughout history, those who wandered the wilderness of the West needed to rely on handmade weapons and survival tools to maintain life on the mountain. Surviving harsh weather and hungry predators often came down to one shot. Their knowledge and expertise with these frontier weapons are still being honored today. “Mountain Men: Ultimate Marksman” is an extension of the network’s popular “Mountain Men” franchise. The new competition series aims to revisit the old frontier’s pioneer spirit and way of life.

“Mountain Men: Ultimate Marksman” tests skilled weapons experts never like before – from using a bow and arrow to hit bullseyes while balancing in a moving river to firing historic rifles through a 12-foot wall of fire. The series incorporates fascinating facts about American history, explaining how weapons were made for successful survival and living off the land. Each weekly, one-hour episode brings together four talented competitors to a ranch in Montana as they strive to become the “Ultimate Marksman,” a title achieved only by completing three rounds of precision-based challenges. Competitors must use a different centuries-old weapon and technique to hit targets effectively. The challenges also present a unique twist requiring competitors to move through the landscape so that only mountain men and women would. At the end of the third and final round, the marksman or markswoman with the highest total points earns the coveted title and walks away with a grand prize of $10,000.
