top shot

Anyone else watching? It's kinda fun. I liked ep2 better than the debut. It's pretty light on reality stuff-- in house drama and that kind of stupid crap-- and heavy on shooting.

Re: top shot

All i gotta say is poor Kelly, and poor Jim. And why is Brad still there?

Re: top shot

Simply stated, Brad is still there because he shot best when it mattered.

Re: top shot

Brad's a bit of a punk and he whines like a mule. I also like how he explains that every other gun is flawed but his Glock is perfect. Actually, the Glock has a weird-ass trigger feel because of the split trigger safety and it makes normal people pull left. Brad is used to compensating for that so he sometimes (often?) pulls other guns to the right. Trust me... I've got one. smile


JJ is my pick to win it all. And I didn't believe him for a second when he said he'd never shot an AR-15. Bullshit! Maybe what he meant was he had never shot *that* one. tongue

Re: top shot

Honestly, my money is on JJ as well, though Kelly seems to adapt to new weapons just as efficiently i suspect he will crumble, and i cant figure out why tara (i think that was her name) is even there to begin with, even Brad has come across more impressive so far.

Re: top shot

Tara only screwed up that last competition. She out-shot numerous people on the red team in previous events, and Jim on the blue team as well.

Kelly doesn't have the speed element that JJ does. Kelly is a long range shooter and even the rapid fire events are like 2-3 seconds per shot. Which honestly IS rapid for long range, but it's an eternity for action pistol.

Re: top shot

I actually like Kelly so far and expect him to do well.  Win the whole thing, maybe not but he might do well.  JJ I expect to really piss some people off.  ep1 he complained because Kelly mentioned he shot a smiley face in practice.  Notice that in ep2, then Blake was showing off, they didn't get any comments from JJ.  Brad, whiney as all get out but he can shoot when it matters.  I have to give him props for cleaning up his act in ep3.  Props as well to Andre, it looks like he's forgetting about the crap in the past, talk to him about what to do with the AR and gave him some pointers and good feedback after he shot.  Tara, yeah, I'm expecting her to go home soon.  No clue how to use a spotting scope.  I do believe it should have been Andre and Mike in the first shoot-off.  Andre got put on the spot before the first round of voting and show some of his colors when asked about what happened.  Mike's a fuktard for wanting to shoot against Kelly tho.  Yeah, Blue team did see rather jolly to go into the elimination round but it looks like it may come crashing down on them. 

I would have been interested to see how the show would have went the red team had gotten wittled down to 3 people.  The can sit people in 2 events in succession so I guess they would have been able to sit 4 people and then one of their own 3 would have had to shoot twice.  Oh well, we'll never know.

You need to shoot your Glock more and stop complain Brad err I mean Colin.  smile  I must be some sort of freak (no comments from the peanut gallery), I dont' have much issue with any of my Glocks, or my 1911 or DAO on my Sig.   

With all that being said, we need to go shoot again.

Re: top shot

I am completely amazed that red didn't have a plan for shooting the targets in order. However, they shot so poorly that I'm not sure it would have mattered a lot. I'm surprised they didn't complain about the weather... they sat there for I would bet at least 15 min in the cold rain and then had to go.

Denny clearly just plain screwed the pooch, though.

Re: top shot

Red team is retarded. Denny had another horrible week and yet he STILL wasn't in the elimination shootout.

What's kind of weird about this format is that we are seeing a lot of the not-so-Top Shot competitors and very little of the people that really are damn good. I was shocked when I heard the next episode teaser saying that there are 3 episodes left and that at least one of the episodes will eliminate someone in every skill challenge. There's 6 blue and 3 red left, so maybe they'll come into the last show with like the top 3 or something.

Re: top shot

Denny definately should have been competing against Brad.  No idea how he got out of it but to say Kelly doesn't bring enough experience to the table is just recockulous. 

This is was the last episode of team competition.  From here on out its everyone for themselves.  If I had to guess I can see 3 people get eliminated in the next episode and then 3 people after that.  That would leave 3 people for the final episode where they would hand out 1st, 2nd and suck@ss places.
