So I'm still entertained ... it's a test of gun handling, not just punching paper from a rested position. Remember when pulling the trigger and watching a milk jug explode was fun enough? I spent a few hours one day trying to hit a playing card sideways standing up iron sights .38 single action. I say if this gets a few more folks out shooting, great!



I have to agree - if it gets a few more folks to the range that is a good thing.

Last night's episode was interesting.  9mm's at 25-feet into decreasing diameter targets and Red Team "taking it in the shorts" again.  I have to wonder how Red Team's "Pistollero" became the target shooter of "renown" that he is touted to be, but confidence in the equipment is a large part of correct and accurate shooting.  The practice fire exercise was "instructive".  Allowing the other Team to select who "sits out" to even the sides was interesting.  I wonder if Blue Team is later allowed to name two members who shoot twice on Red Team in future matches, since not competing two Blue Team members to "even the sides" is going to bore the heck out of me.  The Challenge was also pretty cool - although I am NEVER going to get on another slide wire in my life since I got CREAMED by one.
