yep, I'll be watching. ;) And yes, they have been pushing Ian quite a bit. :think:

I was thiiiiiiiis close to filling out an application and doing a video to try out for next year's show. Hey, why not?! (well, actually I didn't :oops: ...maybe next year.. :whistle: ) Half the stuff they did on the show this season I did all the time as a kid. Slingshots? been there, knocked birds outta trees all the time. Spears? Knives? hey, when yer a redneck kid in the south, you gotta find something to occupy your summers. Me and my cousins did this stuff all the time. I haven't found a weapon yet I can't get familiar with and have decent proficiency with in a short amount of time. At least they are doing a second season of this show - it rocks! :rock:

Sniff. My guy lost.

But I'll make sure I get a picture with him, Blake and myself next week. They're shooting a nationals match my club is hosting.

we have a winner!

Iain Harrison :rock: I didn't have a dog in the fight but man that was awesome! Right down to the wire! :headbang:

You might have to ask JJ about missing those shots, Seth. Or... maybe not. :shifty: :lol: Seriously, there's no doubt all those guys in the finals were great shots. But it only takes a couple of misses in that game. Can't wait till next season. :salute:

It got better as it got warmed up. JJ is a machine. I met him last year at the USPSA Area 8 Nationals and he's a super nice guy and unreal fast. The stage I was officiating was complicated and he shot it about 2 seconds faster than the closest other competitor. That's about 10% faster. A huge margin... its like Tiger winning a Golf Tourney by 10 strokes.

+1....Really liked the show and will watch Top Shot 2....

Colby, the host, was kind of annoying, though... :shrug:

I've seen much worse. He wasn't too bad considering hosts on reality shows are generally "rip-your-hair-out" obnoxious.

I stayed away from this thread since we had finals on DVR and had not watched it, but we wrapped it up tonight. We were pulling for just about anyone but Adam, with JJ and Kelly as our favs. Liked Peter too, but Chris and Ian was a good final, and good for Ian.

Really enjoyed the show and my youngest daughter really got a kick out of it, and wants me to take her to the range. May actually do that Saturday if things work out.

Good family fun too. No real cursing, no sex, drugs, or idiot Celebs. Minimal Drama also.

Nice job and locked in on Top Shot 2 also. :cheers:
