The Secret 1
Feb26
Oh, those silly N.D.A.s – how they suck.
For those not in the know, Best Shooter – you know, the parodical show Alex was just on – is a take on Top Shot, which actually exists. I was surprised to find that a few friends of ours who are gunners have never seen the show. I detest most “reality TV” – but Top Shot is pretty fucking amazing. It’s on Netflix. Check it out.
I firmly agree on Top Shot. Most ‘Reality TV’ is just, ‘here are a bunch of assholes with superiority complexes, watch them be fuckheads’, but Top Shot (which is not wholly void of that, in all fairness) managed to make it more about feats of daring involving firearms, which had the side effect of making guns look more like tools and less like baby-murder.
I need to youtube some top shot one day, Netflix isn’t in Australia.
http://www.uswebproxy.com perhaps?
Topshot is okay, as long as you only watch the actual shot competitions, well and the training sessions. Skip all the drama LLama in the house and you are good to go.
are you sure it’s on netflix?? ive got it and its not coming up on my streaming list…
seasons 1-4 are on hulu. season 5 was the best tho imho as it didn’t have any of the usual reality tv bs, it was all skill based.
Is it? That’s excellent! We watched it on Netflix a while back and were sad there was only Season 1 available.
The last season of Top Shot, sub-titled “All Stars”, they managed to eliminate the drama completely. Instead of a vote by the players as to which two shooters would go into the elimination shoot (where one would be eliminated from the show), the eligible-to-be-eliminated players all take a single shot at a target. Everyone uses the same gun, position, and target. The two furthers from the center are the ones that go into the elimination shoot.
At the beginning of that season, one of the mini-interviews had the player commenting that this is what they had been asking the producers for, for a while.
Great show, some very cool weapons (not just guns get on it…crossbow, bow and arrow, atl-atl, to name a few).
Oh, and a cannon.
Yep I will add my recommendation to Top Shot. One of my favorite shows. There are some absolutely amazing shots on that show. And a lot of fun watching people who specialize in one field trying to learn to do things like throw an axe.
Shouldn’t that be a N.D.A.? Yeah yeah, picking at nits.
Nope. “N” is pronounced “en,” so it gets the same article as a word starting with a vowel. An example of the opposite would be “a unique…” since “unique” is pronounced as if it started with “you.”
Of course, it gets really interesting when you ask a bunch of writers “What the correct article for hono(u)r?”
TopShot…. Meh. I don’t do manufactured soap operas. Seriously, I’m as non-restrictionist pro-2A as you can possibly get, and I wouldn’t loan guns to anyone who engaged in that much drama, real or not.
An important thing to keep in mind when watching shows like Top Shot is that a lot of the time people are edited to seems like cockbags.
If I could pick and choose which words people heard you say, I could probably make you sounds unfit to handle a firearm too.
I remember back in the day when I did watch reality tv shows, they did this especially on big brother australia. They had a live net stream people could watch and live to air after normal broadcast hours. When they’d do the daily wrap up show, they’d make the most innocent of comments to certain “stars” so they looked like the biggest fuckheads. People started calling them out about it on the message boards, and after a drunk confession about one of the house mates about her siblings involved in a court case that was still going the live feeds never came back the following year. Or again 😛
The first host (no idea if he is still on) reminded me so much of the guy from Burn Notice that I would check IMDB about once an episode.
Does anyone know if they’re actually doing another season of Top Shot? I haven’t heard anything, but I really did enjoy that last season.
miami vice is on netflix too, so nope.
I haven’t seen Top Shot, but I do like face off. I agree about reality shows being staged and stupid and thus I avoid all of them.
However, I do not consider Face Off in the same category as all the fake scripted Real Housewives of crap.
“Does anyone know if they’re actually doing another season of Top Shot? I haven’t heard anything, but I really did enjoy that last season.”
I want to ask this exact same question. I am addicted to TopShot.
