I thought it was very educational as to how accurate one can be with those specific firearms. I was impressed with the 10/22, but it is a little pricy for me. |

EPISODE #8
"The Mad Minute" Premier Date: 4/03/2012 _________________________________________________________________________ Top Shot Season One winner Iain Harrison returns to school the competitors in British weaponry. The team challenge introduces a surprising twist, and one team bands together to conquer the task. For the losing team, it's off to the elimination round where two shooters compete in a high-stress precision challenge. The "mad minute" originated as a pre-World War I term used by British riflemen during training to describe scoring 15 hits onto a 12" round target at 300 yd within one minute using a bolt-action rifle. The term still exists in modern military parlance to describe any short period of intense weapons fire. _________________________________________________________________________ The First Team Challenge involves shooting at separate moving grids of 30 targets from 35 feet. One player at a time per team, 6 shots per player. First team to hit all targets wins.

Memorizing the targets is harder than it looks.

I thought tonights showdown was one of the best episodes as far as the first challenge...
The M2a1 Half Track with a Browning M1919 mounted on top was awesome...and of all the things that Top Shot put the contestants through, including the rappeling tower...I would have liked to have done that the most... |

Well, next week is the Season Four Finale...and the final four look like this:
