Ahab Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well Ben, obviously they only chose the best, brightest, and most shiningest (I don't think that's a word) stars in the shooting community to lead the Fearless 16 down the path of glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahha. I wasn't a choice, I was a lack of options. Now CRAIG... he is THE man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yeah, I have it set to record. I'll go start watching it in about a half hour. I rarely suffer through commercials any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) i was hoping it wouldn't be but it appears it may be swinging that way. the first challenge was a bit odd as well as not everyone got a chance to screw up. we'll see if its a continuing trend... first episode in the books. Overall, I liked it. it does appear to be a little "survivor-ish" but its bound to be. it is after all an elimination show. Kinda surprised at the outcome of challenge 1. we'll see where it goes from here. i def have plans every Sunday night for awhile now.

John Heiter Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I felt like I was watching the Andy Griffith show where Opie goes to the state fair and the crooks keep switching rifles on him. So was the rifle bad or the ammo? 100 yards off a rest at what looked like a 10" plus target? I'm just not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 How did nobody vote for the spotter, other than that not to impressed with the team challenge. Individual at the end was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I was up at the USSA last weekend. I saw a new GT500 Mustang with the tag TOPSHOT parked in the reserved for Mike Seeklander spot up front. I'm not saying he won but that Cobra was a little black Nissan a few months ago! Must have been a joke since he's off the show already in the first episode.

jasmap Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I thought the 1st episode was ok at best. I won't close the book on it yet though. I'll give more time. I thought it was very "Survivorish" also and that's not what I hoped for. My other thought is I thank God that there is a show on a mainstream channel that features shooting in a good light.

XRe Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 My other thought is I thank God that there is a show on a mainstream channel that features shooting in a good light.

j1b Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I agree with the positive spin. Don't know what happened with Mike. It is what it is. At the end of the day, you can "search" this forum on topics like sponsorship, money, exposure etc. etc. Here's a show trying to get it done. Like it, love it, hate it. At least respect that someone, somewhere, is trying to make something happen. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here knows Seeklander shoots like a robot, and should have been a favorite all the way through. You got robbed Mike.

Crap looks like it's on now and I missed the first half hour again! Should be up on Hulu in not too long, for those whow want it free. Overall I liked it. Spotter makes all the difference in the world, if you can get a good call, you can't hit crap... iron sights, can't see your shots, and who knows where it was/is zero'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigfla Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Just saw the whole episode. The Gremlins took over, either mechanical or mental. Take a look at the shot placement when voting..... One shot raised my eyebrow a bit. Either the mental game was already in play on a fully televised performance based event or something else was up. Keep in mind there is alot of stress in any big match and many are televised but how many truly put your rep on the line and film every aspect? That is alot of stress. Just read Mike's blog. Reminded me of the times I had trouble sighting in my own rifles. Sucks but when it comes to competition I guess that is why we prefer or own gear. I hate mechanical issues and a loose sight along with an unfamiliar gun setup would give many of us fits. Edited June 7, 2010 by sigfla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a Flyer? Hey everyone. Some interesting comments. First off, we should all be jumping up and down that a shooting show is on mainstream TV. My hat is off to the History Channel. As far as some of my thoughts, I posted some information on my site: http://www.shooting-performance.com/top_shot_show_98.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
