History Channel now casting season 2 of TOP SHOT!

[TopShot]

If you are skilled with a pistol, rifle or any other firearm, you could win $100,000 in prizes on season 2 of History Channel’s hit competition show TOP SHOT. Producers are looking for anyone with mind-blowing shooting skills and a big personality to take on exciting physical challenges with multiple guns and mystery projectile weapons. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professionally trained shooter or a self-taught, average Joe (or Jane!). As long as you’re in good physical shape, have mastered a firearm and can adapt to new weapons and demanding physical situations, you could be America’s next “Top Shot.”

APPLY TODAY!

To apply, email [email protected] with your name, city/state, phone number, a recent photo of yourself and a brief explanation of why you should be on the show. Deadline to apply is August 12, 2010.

I nominate Todd Jarrett. That guy can shoot anything.

 

[Robert]

Unless there is a keyboard division I think many here will have to pass. But good luck and keep up the good work bringing shooting to the average American household.

I could be the best shot the world has ever seen and I could never win that show.

Im not political enough, kiss up enough, or backstabbing enough and I tend to speak my mind. That would mean I would be gone first.

Overall though, I agree with this. ^

I keep asking my range board of directors to start a keyboard division.

I think Todd Jarrett has way more common sense then to get involved in that show....or any big time competition shooter for that matter.

Myself, I deal with enough whining and pouting with my brothers kids. I dont need to bring them home with me by watching or participating in Top Shot. Then again though, who doesnt want to get their 15 minutes? Sign me up.

Well, I guess I can push my rant off button about now. I hate reality TV.

BTW, is this spamming?

 

[Justin]

There are a number of people who've chimed in on our thread about the current season of Top Shot who've said they could outshoot the contestants from this year.

Perhaps they will back up their internet posts, and submit an application to be on season 2.

 

[Gouranga]

I tend to speak my mind

You kidding!? That makes you PERFECT for a Top Shot show. For every sneaky weasel you need at least 1 or 2 speak your mind folks. Otherwise who are they going to fight with? weasels HATE those types of people. Especially if you are any good at shooting.

Me, I have 4 little girls, I have about as much drama as I can handle.

 

[Five of Clubs]

I don't know any of the guys on the show other than JJ, but that guy is a friggin legit pistol shooter capable of winning any run-and-gun style competition. I will, however, agree that some of the others resumes are a little thin. Given that, I'm pretty decent with a pistol but I have no doubt I would already have been eliminated from this season. Fun to watch anyway.

 

[Justin]

Can we keep the discussion here on the topic of applying to be a contestant on the show?

If you don't like the show, you're free to change the channel.

 

[Rail Driver]

I applied. I doubt I'm selected, but after watching the competitions and the challenges this season so far, I feel confident that I could compete and have a fair chance of winning... I'll just have to get someone to teach me drama

That is what would kill me. I am pretty decent at modern handguns and rifles (though those guys would bury me) but I would be wiped out when they busted out the historical weapons and the archery stuff. I would LOVE to try them but I would make a mockery of myself as far as competition goes.

 

[earlthegoat2]

Im pretty good with pistols.

Im good with longbows, recurves.

OK with shuriken and throwing knives.

No good with long range rifle shooting.

Good with open sight short range rifles.

Good with shotguns all around.

Now good does not translate to great or being in the same league as competition shooters.

Nonetheless, I decided to apply as well. I have way too much time on my hands to be doing things like this knowing failure is imminent.

Heck, I dont have a job. There is nothing to lose here.

If I get chosen I guarantee to let all of you know so you can judge for yourself if this keyboard commando can keep up with the big boys.

 

[Jim Watson]

I hope so.
Set the teams up as Internet Experts vs competitive shooters and collectors.

 

[mm1ut1]

Lost me at "Good physical shape". Maybe if they combined with "Biggest loser........".

 

[Bullnettles]

Just a question TopShot, why the photo? Don't mean to bust cajones, but why not do it based on skill, not looks. Just sayin'...

 

[earlthegoat2]

Well, it still is a show that is on TV.

 

[Hawthorne2k]

I couldn't take the time off work.

And I have a face that's perfect for radio.

And I get enough drama as it is, I don't need to wallow in more of it for the amusement of 1.8 million people each week.

 

[earlthegoat2]

The application is actually quite refreshing from the drivel I am used to filling out. No employment history or silly Work Opportunity Tax Credit questions. Just a lot of tell me about yourself. I liked it.

 

[KarenTOC]

Im good with longbows, recurves.
OK with shuriken and throwing knives.

I'm good with a dictionary... which I need to consult after reading that

 

[Red Cent]

Survivor with guns. Lost me on the drama also. Team up to vote out the shooters. Doesn't mean you get top shot.

 

[Apple a Day]

IDEA: instead of the 'historical firearm' challenge they should do a "Saturday Night Special" challenge. Each pair of contestants has to run a stage using either a Jimenez, Jennings, Rohm, or Hi Point. Firearms must be chambered for the largest caliber available and all ammo must be +P+ rated!

If they combined it with Junkyard Wars and you had 24 hours to build a gun THEN shoot a particular target THAT would be SPECTACULAR!

I'm so ugly I'd break the camera, though. I think I'll just watch.

 

[Hawthorne2k]

If they combined it with Junkyard Wars and you had 24 hours to build a gun THEN shoot a particular target THAT would be SPECTACULAR!

Or combine it with Iron Chef, where you have 24 hours build a gun, to hunt something and then 1 hour to turn your trophies into 5 yummy dishes for a panel of judges!

Have History Channel's people call my people. Let's do lunch.

 

[SheepNutz]

I would apply, but I'm allergic to the phrase "rat fink".

 

[Justin Holder]

If Michael Moore can get on TV, how bad could you really look?

 

[Mike OTDP]

I'm too round (you know full well they are looking for physically attractive people)...and booked solid for the filming period. Having a steady job (very steady, as in 29+years) makes this sort of thing very hard.

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

Actually, I know a guy who could compete very handily in all those competitions, and he's a member here (Justin knows him too).

Thing is, he would never say anything publicly, one way or the other, about his abilities.
