Last night, Bachelorette host Chris Harrison took the theory that he’d articulated in his weekly EW.com blog – ”‘Shooter’ is just not the kind of nickname a woman is going to find cute or endearing” — to Jimmy Kimmel. Watch the clip below. While I agree that “Shooter” shouldn’t have shared the anecdote about how he earned the nickname moments after meeting Bachelorette Ali — on national TV — since it involved premature ejaculation, I do believe “Shooter” itself can be a turn on. Maybe it’s because I’m a Shooter Jennings fan, or because I’m all about Timothy Olyphant on Justified, but I think the nickname can be sexy on the right man. And as for “cute or endearing,” what if he’s called “Shooter” because he used to pretend he was Butch Cassidy when he was young and was a great shot with a water gun, or hit nothing but net playing high school basketball?
Am I wrong, ladies?

ummm, no.
By referencing Olyphant, it is OK then…
Sometimes, its best not to know why someone got a nickname. And oddly enough, a dude on a reality show trying to hook up with a chick revealed the horrible truth behind his moniker. Color me shocked…
As soon as I heard that dude call Raylan “Shooter” on Justified, I thought it was hot. And I thought that should’ve been the name of the show.
Anyone else thinking of Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore?
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT CAME TO MIND FOR ME!
Of course that’s who I thought of. I love his character; he eats pieces of s*** for breakfast!
He’s the only Shooter that counts. Just stay out of his way or you’ll pay, listen to what I say.
Maybe I’ll go eat some hay down by the bay. I just may!
I’m just happy that Ali got rid of the guy….no matter what his nickname is.
Jimmy Pardo is known as the Shooter, and he’s all kinds of sexy.
In reference to Timothy Olyphant it’s all kinds of hot. For this guy,no,not so much, as in not at all.
