I watch it every week. There is a nice cross section of the shooting sports. The longbow guy is awesome! Along with airguns I'm also an Archery fanatic so I can really appreciate just how difficult those shots are.
Love the show. just watching it this week made me want one of those race pistols but... dont have $2800 to throw at something like that. still wish i could find a place where they did the zip line shooting from the last season. it looked like it would be too much fun.
Yep, been trying to catch it as of late. Pretty cool show IMO.
i caught a couple of episodes
don't really have to much time for television
I don't get the History Channel but I've watched an episode online. It seems pretty good for a reality show. I don't watch much TV anymore. I just cannot take the loud obnoxious commercials any longer! TV today is the worst it has ever been in my opinion. Just effing terrible! Yuck!
~Falcon
How true TV sucks now days buy Top Shot rocks.
Mike
I don't watch much TV, especially now that the weather is getting warmer. However, I never miss Top Shot.
Gonna be a good one this week,

That makes two of us! Although I'm not doing the archery as much these, from age 14-24 I lived and breathed competitive archery. Traveled quite a bit shooting in IBO and ASA events in those days. In a few years when my son is old enough to start shooting that will probably re-ignite my interest in it. Hopefully he likes it as much as I do.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. I've only seen bits and pieces of the show but it looks very cool.
I have enjoyed the program.
For those like me who live where cable
is not available. These programs are available
on HULU.
http://www.hulu.com/top-shot (http://www.hulu.com/top-shot)
They usually keep each episode up for a week.

Sorry if off topic.
Yes I have subscribed to several weekly programs on HULU.
Once you sign up for your free account, and pick your programs.
It puts the new episodes on queue for you, ready to watch at your leisure.
Have really enjoyed the program "Justified" from FX.
About a Federal Marshal in Harlin Kentucky.
The first episode of this season in available this week.
caught the end of the show last night
they were using my favorite air gun - the big bore blow gun
I just watched it on the History Channel website. Great show! I want a blowgun now!
~Falcon
i have a 3ft and a 4ft with hunting darts
very fun indeed we used to have contests probably will start up again as the snow melts
i think a can still get blow guns from my knife dealer.
Mike
I've watched it several times and really enjoy it as I shoot blackpowder, centerfire and rimfire rifle and pistol, archery, tomahawks, blowpipes, and airguns myself. I do find the announcer/moderater guy really annoying though. He so obviously tries to mimic Survivor's Jeff Probst and it really grates on me for some reason.
I agree he is a pain in the ass he cant seem to keep his mouth shut. :-*
Mike
I think the blowguns they were using were by Coldsteel. I make my own from PVC sleeved inside EMT conduit or copper tubing. I've had the best luck with .50 cal diameter tubes 4' to 5' long. I make darts from bamboo skewers with paper cone flights. Lots of fun.
It does sound like fun. You've got me thinking now and that can be dangerous! LOL!
~Falcon
I really like blowguns. I have a bamboo one from Bali that is about 5ft
and shoots bamboo metal tipped darts with cotton wool for a flight/wadding.
The darts can stick into brick/concrete! :P
Anyone got an arrow frog I can borrow? ;)
Tonight they will be shooting from a moving jeep also will be shooting hanging upside down.
Mike
I caught last night's show online this morning. I so wanted Jay Lim on the Blue Team to go home! That guy is waaaay too arrogant and I hope he does not win! Gdanged Golf Instructor!
~Falcon
Agree with you on that.

~Falcon
I have enjoyed watching both seasons of this
show.
I hope that the gentle giant Ashley Spurlin does
well this year. That boy looks looks he could hunt
bear with a switch.
I find Jay Lim very annoying but, he has done well
in several elimination challenges, they just cant seem
to get him off the show. I will be standing up and cheering
when they do.
I laughed out loud when they had the segment with the blow guns.
Chris Reed immediately went and took down a curtain rod for them
to use at the house for a blow gun. You know he has had to do that
at some point in time during his misspent youth. ;D
I defiantly think he will be one of the last standing.
I was really glad they took the time to show the Marine Birthday Cake
ceremony.
Looks like they will be getting the 50 cal out next week.
That should be interesting.
What a great show laST night! That 50 caliber was something to see! Jay Lim got eliminated, finally! He did very well, but I was glad to see him go, (Mr. I'm too good to learn anything from you!). Ha! I'll bet he is home playing golf! LOL!
~Falcon
Yep he was a dumb azz no it all.That is some sweet .50 cal they were shooting,one of the better shows this season so far.
Mike
Hulu must be a week behind. They just had the Catch 22 episode on. Really good for a reality show! Thanks for posting that link :-*

I watched it on the History Channel website. Very good picture on my notebook display via wi-fi.

Yes, I started watching this on HULU last year.
Have been watching it on the history channel
web site. Much better video, and no commercials.
ANYBODY BUT GEORGE! What an arrogant butthead he is! I felt sorry for Jamie since they all conspired against him. I don't know who I'll root for next week, but it sure as heck won't be George! Having said that, George is a darn good shot!
~Falcon
I agree with you on that one Falcon :-*
George is the Sniper trainer? Butt head, but a darn good shot! I'm pulling for Gunny even though he should have been in a couple of the eliminations. Only his roomies saved his butt!
I missed the program last night so I'm trying to watch it online today. The problem is, the show repeats after the first commercial break! Arrrrgh! It just keeps starting over and over and over again. I cannot get past the first segment. Moan! Hopefully it will be fixed sometime today so I can watch it later. Anyone else having problems watching it online today?
~Falcon
Nevermind. It is working now. Gonna watch the show then I will post back.
~Falcon
That was a real nice thing George did :-*
Mike
I'm halfway through the show but I'm having big problems with the commercial loops! Hopefully I can get through the last two segments.
~Falcon
Hmmm.....interesting. The best shot did not win the competition. It looks to be more of a popularity contest instead of a best shot competition. I was very surprised by George's actions. Oh well. It's all over until next season.
~Falcon
Nope, I have to disagree with you Falcon. The Top Shot DID win. The others buckled to the pressure whether of thier own making or not! In the end only one had the nerve to take it all. Congrats to him! (don;t want to give it away for those that have not seen it yet)
And that's all she wrote! Can't wait for next season :-*
