Top Shot Season 2 Kicks Off Tonight on History Channel
The second season of the History Channel’s hit TV series Top Shot debuts tonight (2/8/2011) at 10:00 pm (9:00 Central). The second year’s package of shows, aka “Top Shot Reloaded”, will follow the first year’s format for the most part, with team and individual challenges involving a variety of weapons, both historical and modern. Sixteen new contestants, including our friend and 3-Gun Ace, Maggie Reese, will compete for a $100,000 prize. View the Top Shot Season 2 Sneak Peak Video below:
New Guns, New Challenges, and a “Whole Lot of Explosions”
Producers say that the new show will have “more action, less talking”, more pyrotechnics, and some startling new challenges. Top Shot Host Colby Donaldson says: “In the first five minutes of Episode One [Season 2], everyone’s going to see that this is a very different season. We had to go above and beyond to create challenges that would actually take [competitors] out of their comfort zone”. There are new weapons (including Thompson machine guns and Barrett 50s), and a “whole lot of explosions”. But don’t expect the show to depart too far from its Survivor-style “reality-TV” origins. Remember this is ratings-driven Hollywood fare; the interpersonal conflicts and shifting alliances appeal to mainstream TV viewers. Nonetheless, if you enjoyed watching TOP Shot Season One you should definitely tune in for Top Shot Reloaded (Season Two) tonight at 10.

I hung out with a number of the members of the Season 2 cast while at SHOT Show recently. They are a fun bunch of guys and I’m excited for the new season. They got lots of great input from shooters and really took the gear and shooting aspects to the next level. I know I’ll be putting aside my applied electromagnetics homework to catch the premiere…:-)
First time I watched this reality show. I figured, why not.
Verdict: STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID show…
Did you see the self proclaimed “best shooter in the country” almost cry as he was booted off of the first episode?
