ALL Stars?!?!
LOL The only one I'd call an All Star is Dustin and maybe one other guy.
I rather see new people and tell Colby to stop talking like he's got some cud or something in his mouth

Off the top of my head I'd go with the following

Larry Vickers,
FPSRussia (but he would have to stay in character the entire time)
NutnFancy

It would make an interesting show

and Tex Greuber, it would be funny as hell seeing everyone dive for the dirt when Tex started pulling out his Glock.

Dudes, Nutnfancy would rule them all for the win, dudes. He'll get to his POU in just a minute, dudes, but just look at that. Just look at it. 3.2 ounces, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, dudes?

You're reading this in my voice, dudes.

I like Nutnfancy and I thought that was funny as hell

I would like to see the first place and second place winners from the first four seasons and then 8 wild cards.

Wildcards? Gabby, Jake(boo hiss, everyone loves a villain.) The Red Star Girl. And I will have to think on the others.

I am betting some of the past winners aren't going to do so well this time, a lot about winning is luck.

That is a good idea, all the past winners, and their #2's, plus about 4 hot shots from the industry.

Jamie deserves another shot too.

There is not enough money in the pot to draw that crowd, plus the amount of time involved is prohibitive (read career destructive) for people who are trainers or manufacturers. Most would not be able to shut down their business for a month...even if they were eliminated on the first day like the two guy were on the first episode this year...they would have had to close their schedule down for at least a month to be on the show and that would be a lost month and many lost opportunities where students are concerned.

As for manufacturers, most owners (who are part of the day-to-day operations) have a hard time going to SHOT SHOW every year, as it means either closing their shop or being away for 6 days that it take to have a booth at the SHOT....I can't even imagine what being absent for a month would be like for the owner of a such an operation.

The Brit contractor from (I think) Season 2.

Season 1 winner Iain Harrison? He works for Crimson Trace now, but he was never a contractor. Worked for a construction company.

When I said contractor, I meant the building kind. Yes, I'm pretty sure that was his name though.

He was a British secret squirrel.

Shot with a him a few times down in Portland at the practical rifles matches hosted by Tri-County. He used to run an invite only event too

And I want Michelle back!

Yes, I have shot with him a bunch of times at practical rifle and his CQB invite match. Super nice guy.

I also meant building contractor when I said it. He was not a contractor. Worked logistics stuff, but as I said he now works in the industry.

Maybe they'll get some hooked on it and get some nice publicity for gun ownership.

I edited my post to explain, someone like Kyle Defoor or Costa would have to shut his training schedule down for what a month? Worse, even if he were eliminated the first day he would never be able to get the cancelled classes back on schedule and the lost opportunities would be a serious hit to his wallet. That was not even calculating the bad PR.

Ironically, James Yeager would be one of the few on the list who could go on that show and not have to shut his school down or his company. He has enough instructors working for his company to carry on and the draw of his company isn't James Yeager. Which is the problem for guys like Costa, Defoor, Falla, and Vickers trying to participate in something like that. They are their company and people don't pay to be trained by adjunct instructors.

I really have no interest in watching real instructors on TV, it would be boring as shit. I'd rather have quirkly gun people (FPSRussia) and the like. They already know how to entertain people.

That'd be fine too, but I'd like them get some people on there that are new shooters.

Also I'd say Mila is at least a B-lister.

Thats not that big of a deal. Besides, some of the instructors have regional instructors and adjutant instructors.

So I wonder if Mike Seeklander figured out how to shoot a rifle––or will he just blow through another 30 rounds with no hits?

And then pick Kelly to go up against for a long distance shot.

Exactly what I was thinking. Lots of attitude, hits exactly one target and goes home.

Clint Smith
Chis Costa
Travis Healy
Massad Ayoob
Peter Kokalis
(some of these guys are older and few are pushing 60 something) but it would be interesting to see if they compensated for this with treachery and skill (I could see clint smith getting in some zingers, mas ayoob refusing to shoot a stage as it was they best way to avoid the scenerio proposed and peter kokalis being reprimanded for stripping apart a weapon and submitting a complaint on the barrels throat being eroded, the bolt not head spaced correctly and the mismatched part serial number making the weapon not an authentic weapon in the spirit of the challenge).

I was referencing Collateral and his gun handling. From what I've heard he really took to actually learning.
Since we were talking all stars and someone mentioned actors or something.

I wouldn't call a match up of past contestants an All Star match. Dustin is about the only one I think who could probably hang with the big boys.
