Been watching old Episodes of The History Channel's "Top Shot"
Forgot just how cool, some of the Shooting "Challenges" were, and how I wished; I could "run through that", and/or " shoot THAT Gun ! "
And then .... just how lame, the "Alliances" made the first four Seasons (almost) unwatchable :-\
But then; I really enjoyed watching the Fifth, (and unfortunately final) Season .... "Top Shot, All Stars"
No Teams, no Alliances .... bring your "A" Game or pack you Bag and go Home
I think; if the Show started-out with and stayed using, the premise of the Fifth Season, it would have stayed-on longer 8)
I liked the shooting aspect of the show. I would have preferred to have toned down the social tension aspect a good bit.
My preferred format would have been to eliminate the elimination and have all the competitors compete all season in a running points fashion. It sucks to see a world class speed pistol shooter leave in episode 1 because it is a precision rifle event.
I agree sqlbullet.
It would be interesting if they incorporated some actual shooting sports layouts in addition to the games/themed episodes.
Realistically, though, I'd be interested in watching pretty much any well run streamed/televised shooting sports show. Heck, even a show like Forged in Fire but gunsmiths would be cool.
