Good point....whether or not I like the show, if it gets anyone new to shooting interested in firearms it's a good thing.
Top Shot on the History Channel...ugh...

Not being able to shoot the Springifeld was bad enough, the one that killed me was shooters vying for top shot not being able to find their partner's target in the spotting scope. Not being able to hit a playing card @ 25 yds. with the SAA was pretty pathetic too.
Occasionally I take a look at that program and always come away amazed at these "experts." Where do they get these people? Last night most of them were transfixed by the complexity of operating a SAA! It was as if the SAA had appeared from another planet and operating it was beyond mere human intelligence. Experts my foot!

No, it was 25 FEET. I was amazed at how they were aiming the thing, making it shoot 3-6" high at that 25 feet. They didn't have the sights aligned properly.

I got to see last nights episode with the SAA, so, it took someone explaining to some of these folks how to sight it. Remember, the rear sight is a simple V notch on the hammer, not necessarily what they are used to. Once shown the error of their ways the two in the shoot off seemed to have cleaned up the skill measurably. Big deal, the kid missed a card.
The cowboy guy, Denny I think, that was his gun, and yep...he blew it. I also think he should have redeemed himself by demanding to go to the shoot off. But then again, I'm not the producer.
I did see the coming attraction for next weeks show. It appears one of the guns they'll be using looks to be an early K22, maybe even a .22 Outdoorsman (looked like a large ejector knob).

TOP SHOT is only going to keep getting better.
Season 2's applications are available. Okay, to all the big shots who say, "I'm a better shooter than all of them!" So submit your well crafted, attention grabbing letter of intent, a quality photo of yourself, the application, and a video that showcases how good a shot you are and why your personality will look good on tv.
Go for it! Put up or shut up!
The next season will film in October. I would be putting in my papers, but I have to attend an exhibition for work that I already tied in with a family vacation that's already paid for.
Season 3 though, I AM putting in for! Half my video is already done!

Monday night (or any time) at History.com TopShot is available for internet viewing commercial free. Ok for a 35 minute show.
After watching all the episodes, I do believe I can make it into the top 16 and top 17 for sure. But why when all those egoes fill up the available shooting time? Yes, I do cheer for the crabs and the ice.

That should be good if you get on. We are iffy on viewing because of the drama queens(the guys). Tara seems to be the only choice that we like here.
Since when do Newlyweds have time to watch TV?
Not very often giz, but we do find time to. but since we did live together for a year before getting married that did help. Now me working a second and some times third shift which is soon to change will help even more time for TV and even better fun.
I admit that I lucked out and married a great woman who is also a lady even though I kid her good naturdly that she now looks like Lex Luthor. I do get smacked around for that! Her hair does grow out very quickly and I have to admire that she is generous enough to contribute for a great charity. Wendy is a sweet and very caring person. I am the lucky one here and proudly admit it.

You guys make me wanna break down and cry. Wait! Wrong reality show...this ain't dancin with the stars? oh well.
So does beingon this reality show pay? I'm getting ready to retire and maybe I can go early if it pays.
Nice pics of the Tara Team. Who's Tara?
I saw the guy with the Dan Wesson shirt. There's a local guy here selling a Dan Wesson .357 with 4 extra (lengths) barrels. back when I was buying my old revolvers the Dan Wesson was just an average gun. Do they have any value now?
I only saw the 1st show with the loud mouth that lost to the kid. The kids shoots what I shoot. LR and I love it.

Holy mother of zombie thread! 
IT'S ALIVE!!!
4 years later Top Shot is still going. I think the SEAL episodes showed them that the fake drama crying beeyotches schtick was not the direction to take.
I'll confess I haven't watched it for a couple of years but people discuss it on other forums.
Chris Cheng is a pretty cool story. Gay guy, ex Google employee, Asian...not the face that John Q. Gunhater generally puts to the NRA type people. Now he's got a gig with the NRA and shoots competitively full time. You can check him out on the book of faces.
