Quoted:
First season was fun. This season I actually hope that they use a weapon that they never did first season, some kind of AIR RIFLES, whether it be a red ryder, or some high power springer, they definitely would be more fun to watch than knife throwing.

i liked the knife throwing episode. that guy pete was halarious in that one!

Hey guys, I am still around. Just finished hunting season in Maryland. Had a nice battle one afternoon with a herd of doe using the lever action .45-70 (flash backs to the Top Shot episode cutting the guillotine rope! Ha!!).

Last season I was able to give some behind the scenes insight, but this time around I am pretty much in the dark. Will be watching along with everyone else. The shooters from first season did give suggestions on how to improve the shooting challenges. What comes of that remains to be seen !!

Anyone here going out for Season 3 ?

Glad to see that you are still around.

Im gonna have to come out to MD and find some does to shoot. It looks like there are plenty out there.

we have a LOT

Hit one on I-70 with a van once. Too many of the things running around if you ask me; half of them belong on a dinner plate.

I'm glad to see you're still around, Adam. I've got to admit, though, that I'm a little disappointed they didn't hire you to host the show for the second season.

Love it or Hate it..it Starts tomorrow at 10p/9c on History Channel.

It will be bitter sweet for me..Bitter because I came so close to making the show but didn't..sweet because I got to meet and know a lot of the cast members and just the overall filming of the show (slow-motion is awesome).

I have gotten some of the cast members to join ARFcom..so maybe they'll chime in once in awhile!!

Starts tonight ............. so don't miss it

would you think I was a jerk if I said I was invited to send in a video and chose not to? Just not my thing. I am not an entertainer I guess (in my opinion, I am not an expert shooter either - I am a student of shooting). But after I saw the show I realized it was more a redo of "Survivor."

I would so 'no'

but I would have also said it would be nice to have a field grade Army officer representin' yo.

Quoted:
Those two are probably the most accomplished shooters on this season.

Tilley has been to /won the World Shoot in South Africa as a junior years ago; he has not stopped pulling the trigger since.

Zins won NRA's "Bullseye" One Handed pistol championships - so when it comes to ONE HANDED or Olympic style pistol shooting, he will be very tough to beat. I thought he was a full-time, upper level NRA employee? He's also been to a few local USPSA shoots so he is, at a minimum, familiar with the speed/accuracy combo that was featured in almost EVERY contest on season 1.

We used to have an old Thompson rental gun at the store & we even used it for a few 3gun shoots we had; it was tougher to control than you might think (the old Uzi we had was tame by comparison) & the thompson weighed a ton.

Tilley should be very familiar with any of the firearms mentioned other than the 45-70 & if speed is a factor, I think he stands a good chance of placing 1st. But, as we saw with J.J., anything can happen; nothing is for certain.

Zins did the NRA thing for a season. He has been a security contractor since then. I think he has been guarding boats.

At least this time it looks like all of the competitors have shot live ammo before showing up for the show. Last season there was an interview where the cowboy action guy admitted he had not shot a live round in 10 years before the auditions. Hopefully it will be a good show with more shooting and less whining.

Are you talking about Denny? He struck me as kind of a turd from early on, lol. I was rooting for Kelly from the beginning, though. That kid had some chops, really woulda liked to see him win.

I know the AF "sniper".

. I'm curious to see how he does. I also saw how he sounded like a total guido on one of the promo clips.

Thats George Reinas..and he is a true bad ass. While in LA for auditions we had a chance to sit around and chat one afternoon and he had some hair raising stories and the scars to prove it from his time in Iraq and Afstan..He has served our country well and he will be a force to reckon with on the show.

I think that he will known for his "quotes" and comments..he had me laughing off my seat

He looks italian but is actually half filipino!

Yeah, I know who he is. I served with him.

Yep Denny, I found the blog where he admitted it. I really could not figure out for the life of me how he didn't get shoved in the elimination challenge the first couple episodes. He was lousy even in the cowboy challenge.

Going into the show, did you do any special training? You’re going to get a kick out of my answer. Here it comes. {laughs} I hadn’t shot live ammo in about 10 years before I went on the show. I literally hadn’t shot anything other than a little bit of .22 rimfire just fooling around.

It looks like they're using the same style of characters, there's the cowboy, the military guys, a few women, the hitman, stuff like that so it's a variety of backgrounds. This time around it looks like a more experienced group.

Well, the game is only partly based on skill. It's also based on the Survivor show type of stuff, which is basically pushing votes onto other shooters. Kelly was a considerably better shooter, however the poor guy was in that elimination challenge every week.
