Top Shot

[400out]

I was just wondering if any of you guys are watching Top Shot on history and what your intake is on this show?

[Sumpnneedskillin]

I halfway watched two or three episodes.  Not too impressed, lots of drama and big egos.  Just another reality show trying to find a new demographic group.

yeah i have watched all of them. they are turning a 30 min show into a hours and lots of cry baby drama but i still like watching the shots and the shooting as well it is o.k. i would give it a C on a scale from F-A like it but don't love it. we had another one going when it started don't know were it went.

it's stupid at this point. We should have seen that coming though when they had a guy who was on survivor host it. They need to spend more time shooting and less time talking. If i want to listen to someone talk I'll shut the TV off and listen to my wife.

 :)another good idea screwed up my the TV guys.  I'd give it a C at best. too much talk not enough walk.

I like to see the different courses or competetions.  HATE the rest.  I was disappointed in the hype.  TOP marksmen my a$$.  None had even shot a bow before, then you have guys that are proficient in only ancient weapons, or pistols blah blah blah.  If it is indeed a competetion to find the best or TOP SHOT, then have them be killed out on their inability to shoot, not dramam club.

I didn't get past the first one where that dude banged up a crate or so of ammo and never touched his target, that kind of "expert shooter" lost my interest in the show immediately.

i love the show. im sure there are alot of marines out there that are ashamed of the way the guy one the blue team acted, when he set up his teamates. then when someone pulled his card he starting acting like a bitch. name calling and such. oh heres a fun fact. that kid kelley went to the same school as me. kentwood and he was in rotc like i was, a few years latter of course

I tried to watch it. Like was said, too much talk (whining ) and not enough shooting.  I did like the challenge of pistol shooting down the zip line, looked fun to me.

have to agree, i like the shooting and the courses but the "survivor" crap is bad but knew that was coming when the host acts just like the joker from survivor. but thankfully i have a dvr, just record it watch it later and fast forward through all the cry baby crap

I like the show.
I know they cast these shows with a bunch of 'experts' because their egos make them act like *censored*bags (most, not all)
I like seeing guys like Kelly, who is too young and dumb by 'expert' standards, embarass the egotists.
I also like seeing the macho guys turn into whiney *censored*bags.
Hopefully they learn something about themselves by watching.
Wish I could shoot targets that explode into fireballs by hitting the bull.

Wish I could shoot targets that explode into fireballs by hitting the bull.

They make a binary explosive for targets that explodes when you hit it.  I've seen it advertised in I think it was in the Sportsman's Guide catalog (it could have been in one of the other 534 catalogs I receive).  I've also seen it on some tv shows.  They make different sizes from a little pop to a decent size boom.

I know in some areas you can't use them because of fire danger etc.

Holy crap you went to Kentwood, what class??  I was the class of 97.

[seth30]

There is another guy from kentwood that works up here in the same buidling, and hes from the class of 96.
