    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    I'm interested in seeing some of the changes that will be occurring in the next season. Perhaps more modern weapons will be included, and I would expect the venerable 1911 to make an appearance. However, one of the things I noticed being down there is that everybody was very concerned about...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    I thought that the finale was great. Interestingly enough, a lot of the non-shooting guys I've spoken with since really enjoyed all of the competition instead of the drama. It's got to be quite a predicament for the producers for next season. Drama is necessary because nobody wants to watch a...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Hi everyone, just got back from vacation down with Blake and Pete from the show. (Louisiana is awesome by the way) Thought I'd chime in for the recent developments, especially since the BrianEnos thread has now been closed. Pretty much what you're witnessing here is a villain being created-...

    I've found this is only possible with an Austrian yak. Otherwise each step will always throw your rounds to the right.

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    I think that Episode 3 went a little bit better than Episode 2. As a couple of you have pointed out- I cringe as well when I hear the IPSC Grandmaster line. Especially since at the time of filming I was only a GM for like 4 months. (And still have a season ahead of me to prove I've earned...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Yeah, I agree in terms of the difficulty. I mean if you actually run the math, the amount of precision required by our sport is incredible. For distance rifle, we're talking about fractions upon fractions of degrees when aiming (MOA), and ensuring that bullet travels along the same path in...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Never really knew actually. The mags were loaded for us in advance. I think Adam caught that it was Winchester White Box, but I have no idea. Ben should know!

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Hi batjka, Thanks for the compliment on the writing. Per Mike, simply put, I have a lot of respect for the guy. I didn't know him in advance of the show, but knew him by reputation as a fellow USPSA shooter. During Episode 1, I saw him completely crash and burn (was standing right behind...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    Thanks Ready. I agree with you in terms of the watchability of shooting on television. I think that there are a multitude of reasons for this. The single most obvious is movies. When people are accustomed to seeing John Woo style firefights and doves flying in the air amidst the bullets...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    So I figured I'd be getting lit up online this morning, some of which is deserved, but I thought I'd give my impressions to what went down with the Beretta challenge. First off in regards to my Glock fanboydom, I can say that it's partially true. At that point I could think of a bunch of...
