That is funny. I wonder if Jake's in on it?

Has to be...how else did they get the pictures? Shows that as much of a jerk he was on tv, he at least can take a bit of a joke. I think.

The best part of Jakes little hissy fit way of "I'm going to go out on my own terms" was that opened the door for Mike, the guy he liked the least to get back on the show.

So now, Jakes gone and Mikes there. How does that feel, jake?

Pretty good episode. That redhead needs to man up though. He talks an awful lot, and then didn't back it up at all with the shotgun. He should have been in the elimination I think.

BTW, I hate the top shot threads....I don't have cable, so I have to watch it the next day. Have to tread lightly around the firearms forums on wednesdays to keep things spoiler free.

I am sick of the "token female competitors " always going home early in the last two seasons. The need to get Jessie Abate or Julie Golob on the show

I think the serious female competitors, like the serious male competitors would rather spend that month or two (however long it is) actually in touch with their families, going to work, getting on with their lives.

It takes a special type of person to want to be paraded on TV like that. We'll never see the cream of the crop, shooting wise on a gameshow like this.

But its still amusing to watch.

He's had several statements that make me kind of go . Claimed to have been accepted to the Naval Academy as a freshman in high school. Then later stated he spent 5 years there. (prep school I guess?).

Word on some of the other boards is that he isn't very well respected on the Teams because as soon as he got out (after only 4 years or so) he started bad mouthing to the press about how racist the seals were.

Also, I'm fairly terrified that a swat officer could shoot that terribly with her duty weapon. She blamed it on pressure...but come on! Serving warrants on dangerous felons isn't pressure? Sheesh. Remind me to stay out of IL if that's the shooting capability of their officers.

I liked the first challenge - riding shotgun

Same. My wife is tolerant and supportive..but not interested in joining me for a range trip. However, she really enjoys top shot. Top Shot in my mind is good PR for non gunnies. It may drive us nuts that there is so much drama and extra junk thrown in, but thats what gets people that aren't into guns interested in watching, and hopefully someday trying the sport out themselves.

Every person that starts shooting is one more ally in our fight against the gun banners.

On both counts!! More shooting and less lip flapping. And it is great to see the wide variety of weapons used and the actual results with slow motion.

It doesn't annoy you that you very rarely get to see any of the actual shots? It would be like watching a football game where everytime the ball was passed it cut to a generic slow motion shot of an actor dramatically catching a ball before cutting back to the actual players just standing around after the play.

I'd also like to see more head to head matches like they had towards the end of last season with the plate breaking and the flipping targets. That was a lot more fun to watch then the aforementioned guys standing around while stock slow motion video is played.

That has changed some from last season..more follow of shot from gun to target instead of generic "boom" shots, which I like.

If nothing else, the show helps normalize shooting sports for people. My wife thoroughly enjoys watching the show, partially because its more than just shooting, but a little tv drama thrown in.

Any show that puts responsible people competing with guns like the LaRue OBR, and AKs like they're doing next week, not to mention those evil .50 cals capable of shooting down a plane on tv every week and letting people see it as normal is a GREAT thing.
