“Dustin
may be the best shooter we ever
had.”
HOUSTON, TX - Those words spoken by Top Shot host Colby Donaldson echoed the sentiments of scores of viewers as they watched Dustin Ellermann shoot his way to the grand prize during Season Three of the History Channel’s top-rated program.
While his stunning performance at the final challenge stood the shooting world on its ear, it was his exemplary character that endeared so many to this 28-year-old self-taught marksman from Zavalla, Texas. Before he was the Top Shot champion, Dustin was (and remains) the director of Camp His Way, a summer Christian kids camp and year-round retreat facility. He and his wife are also foster parents and have three children of their own.

AUSTIN, TX - Miles and miles of Texas highway will
soon see speed limit increases following
Thursday’s Texas Transportation Commission action
approving 75 mph designations for close to 1,500
miles of interstate.
The speed limit changes span 60 Texas counties making it the largest conversion since a new law was passed last year. The 82nd Texas Legislature passed and the Governor signed House Bill 1353 which allows the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to establish 75 mph speed limits on Texas highways providing speed studies show it can be done safely.
Since September, the agency has been reviewing existing 70 mph speed limits across the state to determine where a 75 mph limit may be safely posted.
