This looks like as good a place as any.

I wanted to post about the new show on the history channel "Top Shot" It's the first reality program I've seen that makes any sense.

I saw it.

It is going to have to get better, for me to be a regular watcher.

Watched it last night. Reminds me of Survivor only with guns. I agree with HK. Needs to get better for me to keep watching.

30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

I couldn't believe they were shooting at 50 and 100 yards with a springfield 1903. That gun is capable of much longer ranges than that.

Yes they are, reality is however, how many shots need to be taken at lonegr ranges, and how many people are able/capable of doing so?

I have not watched the show, nor will I if given the chance.

What is or should be at question with this show, has nothing to do with the abilities/capabilities of the Equipment being used, but with the same parameters of the people being featured. JMO.

I went over to my 82 year old Mother's house yesterday to do regular "chores" and she was watching this program....and was totally engrossed in it, she wouldn't even leave the TV long enough to complain about the neighbors!

Saw a little bit of it. Turned into a Little Girly cat fight "he's talking about me" "he's dose't respect me". Its even worse than the trick shooters on TV. I can't remember the the name of the old fart that is supose to be such a great shotgun trick shooter but on duck hunting shows he dose about as good as every one else. I guess the ducks won"t come back in for a retake.

Tonight should be more interesting as the teams are disbanded.

Begin the shooting free for all

Hopefully we see Blake shoot a little. He lives about 15 miles from me. I do not know him even though we share a couple of common friends, but I have to pull for the hometown shooter.

I feel the show has been positive for the shooting sports, which is much more than we can say for about 99% of what we see on TV.
