I do like that the show does try to keep the competitors off balance. They fired shotguns, but with slugs, thus taking the factor of being a good aerial target shooter out of the equation. I really loved the shooting from the stagecoach. To win the competition, a shooter has to be very well-rounded, quickly adaptable and mentally tough. I too am not enamored with the host nor the off range stuff. Overall, I like the show. Probably give it a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. It's certainly better than 90% of the **** on tv these days.
