Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Anyone else watching this series? I loved the first season, and this season looks like it might be equally spectacular. Definitely makes me want to go outside and set up some of the things they do!! :gn

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Good stuff! :tu I loved the first season. I didn't watch it until last week when they had the marathon though. It really makes me want to go purchase a handgun though as I currently only own rifles. Of course this scares the sh!t out of my girlfriend because she is afraid of handguns lol.....So I guess I am picking one up soon :D. Anyways, it is a great show and I hope that they get it on netflix soon, though I haven't checked recently.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I love the show, it's at a bad time for me first run so I have to catch it in reruns, this season looks good in the commercials though!

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Good show, not a big fan of the drama at the house. Lets pull the triggers and see who wins!!

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Didn't realize season 2 had started already. I'll have to look for it, loved season 1.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Was talking to my son last night, he mentioned that aspect of the show and I said "They gotta throw something in there so women will watch"


:noon

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I think this would be a win-win in my house:

Me = guns
My wife = Colby Donaldson

Guess it makes the DVR list :tu

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I have watched it a few times but just have not developed an appreciation for it. Sort of tried to like it but just can't. But on the other hand I don't need more reasons to set up targets and blast away as it always feels good!

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Haha So true! The drama does get ridiculous at times. As for the first competition; I feel like these guys should have known to stretch before the running. Two people are hurt now and they are using that as a major drama point on the second show. Jeez people, do a few toe touches or something. The second comp was pretty cool and I feel like it added a fair amount of adrenaline to the usual routine. Cant wait for next week.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I like this show a lot. That elimination challenge with the Tommy Guns were freakin awesome.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Yea Jon those were definitely awesome...once the lady started the spray n pray I knew she had no chance. What a cool challenge!!

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Great show! I watched the first season and am watching this one too.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I just stumbled across this show and caught the first episode of what is apparently the 2nd season. Had never heard of it before, but am digging it now. Missed last night's episode, but will be catching up soon.

As for "they added the drama for the women", not for this woman. Shut up and shoot, pansies!! :D

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I also really like this show. I watched the first season and found it to be very addicting. Lot of cool weapons and very cool scenarios. I give it :tu :tu

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Hope I am not seen as Thread Jacking just thought this show also fits many of us gun types: For those who also really dig off the wall cool weapons you might also check out Sons of Guns! Now that one has some wild stuff! Tonight @ 8:00 Central on Discovery Channel.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Another great programming choice of The History Channel!

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

My friend was raving about this show but I haven't yet seen it...Ill have to remember to set my DVR for it.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

My fiancee loves Top Shot. She was the one who told me season two was starting. Anything to keep her interested in guns and shooting. Ive got her comfortable with a couple of the pistols now. Now I have to get her comfortable carrying one. I see a lot more military on the show this year.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Wow tonights elimination was very unexpected! I am not happy Jermaine got eliminated. I really don't like Jay's antics, and it is obvious that the blue team is about fed up with it. Next week should be fun...

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

yeah, i really wanted to see Jay leave. since day one when he figured he was team leader just because he 'picked' the team. ever since then he team member have wanted him gone, imo.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

yeh i mean Jay is a ****ing golf instructor who thinks he's god's gift to firearms. he's annoying as hell.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I agree and he said he just bought his first gone about a year ago and he is telling the other teammates how to shoot? He is a golf instructor that specializes in archery.... :tf

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

At least no one has complained that the angle of the pistol grip is all wrong this year.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Tonight's episode was pretty uneventful IMO. The challenge and elimination challenge were pretty basic but still decent to watch. The drama seems to have settled with Jay, but who knows, maybe next week will turn out an exciting show...especially with my favorite handgun! :banger

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

well next week will be a bit more interesting, tomahawk throwing?

im a Comcast loser, anyone else have a problem with the History channel feed last night? my feed was very choppy.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

to me these shooters should be well rounded, he certainly isnt. sometimes i question why they picked some of these competitors.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I love this show. That was a sweet weapon for the elimination round. I watched the two guys practice with it, but I fell asleep just as they started the actual elimination and missed who got booted. Can anyone help?

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Eric, the cowboy was booted

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Eric, the cowboy from Florida was eliminated last night.

The Razorcat they shot in the elimination was awesome, but Jamie is staying in the house, so I guess there's going to be more drama to keep the wives and gfs watching...

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Can't wait till the showdown between Brian "Gunny" Zins and George Reinas. They are on the same team now but Brian's will kick George's azz when and if they go head to head.

George's real name is Richard Noggin..

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

The show is awesome. Very interesting how you think some will make it, and they don't.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I would have to imagine one or two are thrown in the mix on the basis of charisma in their entry videos...I plink around in my backyard and the range and I understand grip techniques and angles and how your hands work with the .45, its amazing that he would not even consider the advice of the pros.

Next week should be great, its only getting better, and a lot of people struggle with tomahawks and proper technique...should be interesting :banger

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Thanks, guys.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I can't believe Jay survived elimination last night, I was rooting for him to go home

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

+1 That guy really rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Ditto. Jay needs to go. Maybe he's just playing the game and is smarter than we think. He seems to not do well in the team competitions, but then shines in the elimination rounds.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I still think the best shooter was eliminated during the blow gun competition.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Darryl is pretty good too.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I had high hopes for Jermaine. I know I'm going to take some heat for this but I believe Jay is playing mind games and winning. I believe he will either win this or finish second..but thats just my thought.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Jay can shoot, cant take that from him, but his personality leaves a lot to be desired.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

So glad Jay is gone, that Barrett .50 was so badass, can't wait to see what comes next

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Season Two is definitely better done that Season One was. More shooting, less crud, better guns. I was rather put out by the poor performance of the US and World Handgun Champs. But it seems the less specialized shooters do a better job overall.

As a competitive shooter I find a lot of things about the show very annoying.... when the information is just wrong (Civil War Sharpshooters and then they bring out an 1874 Sharps - two decades later than the Civil War), the host and his grin and lousy script, etc. But as a vehicle to show shooting, the shooting sports, and firearms in general in a positive light to the average person, I think it does well.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I agree, I'm a little disappointed in the lack of variety though, there are so many great weapons systems out there and they've used the 1911 more than once

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Seriously? Who likes George? He is a cocky little a-hole, imo. I really hope he doesn't win.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

haha, I agree, he's a butt.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Damn, anybody see what a little baby Ashley was being towards Jamie last night?

Spoiler:







Ashley went home. haha, dude got what he deserved.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

I was thrilled to see Ashley go home. I liked him up until this last episode where he was being an a-hole towards Jamie, unprovoked, and calling him fake. Even Brian said that Jamie never claimed to be a SEAL, it was just from nicknames they gave each other. Then the icing on the cake was when he wouldn't shake Jamie's hand when he lost, grow up. I always thought he wasn't a very good shot anyways.

I would love to see George go home next, he is a true a$$. He is also so two faced it's painful. I see him joking with Jamie in one scene, and telling the interview camera "F*#@ You" towards Jamie the next.

Great season though. I'm pulling for Jamie now, he's definitely the underdog because of the bullseye on his back.

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

same here :banger

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

Dang....saw the spoiler alert and read it anyway. Still haven't watched my DVR of this episode yet, but I am shocked to hear that Ashley ended up being such a tool. George is a tool for sure, but I was actually hoping Ashley would end up winning.

Now I gotta watch this tonight!

(Btw, I'm not sure what qualified Colby to be a host, he was a Survivor loser from way way back. The one and only Survivor season I watched!)

Re: Top Shot on the History Channel
 

After you watch how Ashley acted, I think you would have changed your opinion. I don't know what got into him. He used to be the cool guy, and just went with the flow. He did a 180 seems like.
