GentlemanJim Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I doubt our rules apply in this situation. Not that they should not Have seen several, not so good gun handling events on this show. But its a TV show ...I think its as good as it gets in that situation.

RangerTrace Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) USPSA rules are great and I'm glad we have them. But they certainly don't apply to everyone, everywhere who handles a firearm. I'm quite sure most of you would be shocked if you observed most law enforcement qualifications. I'm not saying they're unsafe, but they also don't follow USPSA rules. Edited February 11, 2011 by SV-COP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 He gave himself about 5 good opportunities to shoot himself in the foot. Or kneecap. Just about every time he decided he was done shooting, he also decided to sweep himself badly. Pretty sure i will skip Season 2. The best part of the hour was the new Navy commercial.

CSEMARTIN Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I hope this show attracts new shooters. I hope nobody on the show shoots themself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Dispite the drama, and some goofy gun handling. I think this is a good show, and I hope for its success We will watch it all, and cheer for the kids we like Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMartens Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Should ask Caleb Giddings (Ahab on here) a last season competitor about what they talk about gun safety etc. Some of the competitions last year looked like they had to clear the weapon before putting it down, and on the last episode it looked like some of the contestants were putting the 1911 on safe before setting it down, and others looked like they may have cleared it. Caleb also has his gunnuts radio blog and website, could be a good question to put on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Good point Jake. I was also wondering how they decided who was going to change mags and when, since they each only made 1 shot. How did they remember where they were at in the count? 7? 8? I would hate to get up there and have the gun go "click" . Edited February 11, 2011 by Chris Keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imadvm Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Got this response from Iain Harrison about safety at Top Shot last year: "They were anal about safety last year to the point of not allowing movement with loaded firearms, but we worked on them loosen things up a bit. They approached the subject from a position of ignorance & fear, but once they saw that we weren't going to turn around and start bustin caps gangsta stylee, they started getting over it. Weapons were generally to be left on safe or cleared before leaving them on the table." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary J Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 My feeling is this: We need to embrace programs like Top Shot, because they show a very positive view of guns. It's been a long time since we have had positive television shows on guns. The NRA can't hardly buy commercials because the television industry won't sell to them. I have really loved watching the various guns used on Top Shot and the great marksman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
