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.

[carpsniperg2]

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.

[chrisb]

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.

[let.it.fly]

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  

[johnnypop]

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.

[uplandhunter870]

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

[thinkingman]

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.

[Sumpnneedskillin]

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.

[wsucowboy]

there is really only about 3 or 4 guys on there that are any good. Was kinda hoping that lil dude woulda whopped that guys ass that was calling him names and crap on the last episode. The pistol shooting so far has been the highlight of the show so far.

[seth30]

I was thinking that I could shoot better than them, but then again there dealing with stress of beining on film, and all the backstabbing, so maybe they do shoot better than me.  I couldnt shoot with somebody screaming at me to hurry up and so on....  But the first guy on the red team that couldnt hit paper had no exuse.

[Caseyd]

Thats why you watch it on DVR, cuts it down to about a 20 min show

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 can't disagree with you a bit. I watched the first couple of shows. I wasn't impressed. -With the shooting or the 'reality hype'. Even as I have recently earned my NRA master card for Standard Pistol, that doesn't make me a proficient SASS Cowboy, Bianchi, Falling plates, Skeet, Trap, or pistol Silloette shooter. Hell, I've never even picked up a bow, although that does interest me. As a hunter and someone that practices a bit with rifle and used to shoot rifle a lot, I am quite proficient with long arm though. But the class of shooters they brought to the table with particular 'personality' is only for the camera. That part sux.  

I've shot next to many of our finest law enforcement officers and am seldom impressed. Fact is, most LEO's don't get enough time to practice. And on the show, aren't there at least a few that are current/ex LEO? I know rifle shooters locally that could easily stand up to many of the contestants on the show. Many that don't have near the credentials those competitors do. Several of the primarily rifle shooters that I know are also proficient with pistol. I didn't see that with this group of contestants... -Again, I haven't been watching the show past the first few.

So whos trying out for Season 2??

I know alot of you said you think youd do better 

[carpsniperg2]

Thats why you watch it on DVR, cuts it down to about a 20 min show  

we just got dvr i love that thing! what the hell have i been missing that thing is so sweet! takes a 30min hunting show and turns it into about 10-12 of good stuff! 

It would kill the hunting seasons, knocks out part of sep and oct and nov maybe next year

[C-Money]

I have watched it a few times. It is a ok show. Better than most crap on TV. I Really dont like the ego's. I think we could put together a Hunt Wa team and win big against either team!

[Caseyd]

Yeah its right in the middle of hunting season, pretty crappy timing

[trippledigitss]

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 like the show and have been recording it since the 1st one or 2. That guy Adam bugs the hell outta me, all his whining & name calling! He is a punk! But I am surprised at how poorly some of them shoot and at like 20 feet! One of the shows where Kelly won the elimination with like a 600yd shot was cool but I expected more from the show. And that cowboy Denny sure has been sucking too. I didnt know Kelly was from this area - I like him & Pete the best then JJ and Chris from the Blue Team.

And Carp- you just a got DVR!?! Sweet arent they? They FREE you from the TV schedule and all the damn commercials! I couldnt live without it!

[Special T]

I watch it on HULU over the net.. kinda like DVR but free... Its ok show I like the idea, but i'd really like other shooters the profeshionals to do a shortedn version...

[Alchase]

I you watched he last show, right before the shootout they showed a promo of the "next" show and showed Kelly in the promo   

Then at the end of the show they showed Kelly and Pete in a rapidfire pistel shootout, and only the last two were supposed to do that, 

[carpsniperg2]

"And Carp- you just a got DVR!?! Sweet arent they? They FREE you from the TV schedule and all the damn commercials! I couldnt live without it!"

yes i know it is so sweet 30 min show in like 10 mins with all the crap cut out and the instant rewind for the kill shots!

[HardCorpsHuntr]

So whos trying out for Season 2??

http://pilgrimfilms.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/TS-Candidate-Application.pdf

I know alot of you said you think youd do better 

So tempted!  Too many people I care about not to embarrass

[Alchase]

Kelly and Adam went home last night.

[carpsniperg2]

yeah i watched it but there was 3 that went home last night can't remember the other guys name adam went first then kelly and the other guy went in the second part

[Alchase]

It was the other pistol shooter who shanked the shootout with Kelly, I can't remember his name either.

[boneaddict]

Blake I think

[trippledigitss]

yeah i watched it but there was 3 that went home last night can't remember the other guys name adam went first then kelly and the other guy went in the second part

Oh man - you told me who lost before I had a chance to watch it!  Remember all the talk about dvr's!?! You have to remember not to give out info that can spoil the endings! There's a guy at my work who is always telling me the winner of the Formula 1 races before I have a chance to watch it - I avoid him for a few days until I see the race!  Well thats OK anyway, I cant stand that Adam guy at all - but its a bummer Kelly was offed.... Not too fond of Blake the pistol guy either.

[carpsniperg2]

Kelly and Adam went home last night.

it wasn't me trippledigitss it was alchase he statred it he left out on of the guys so i wanted to correct it. BUT HE SAID IT FIRST

[trippledigitss]

Oh I guess you are right!  HAHAHAHA!!! I guess all I had to do was look up one more post!  Actually, I knew I saw it somewhere - he was the one I meant to quote!  Sorry!
