Looks like it. Bummer! Nobody new to hate on. It should be better shooting as most of these former competitors are actual competitors in some form of USPSA or 3 gun or IDPA now.

jtischauser · May 2, 2013

These guys are all the ones that made it to green team. There have been a bunch of good competitive shooters that got knocked out. Seeklander got the early exit for sure. But the challenges are hokey so luck is as important as skill when you're shooting someone else's gun.

Top Shot pays pretty poorly unless you win. All Star season may pay more, but I know for a fact season three paid 1500 bucks for the six weeks they were there.

Seeklander has paying gigs going, I doubt he would have done it even if he were invited and I know for sure Chris Collins would not have.

$1500/6 weeks? I heard they got roughly $1000/week per diem.

jeffhughes · May 2, 2013

Chris and I were talking about it the other night, season 3 paid 250/week, six weeks.

It may be more now. I know he got offered a lot more for some kind of survival show in Alaska that one of the Top Shot producers tried to get him to do.

Not much chatter about this season. What did everyone think?

Lame. Now that im aware and watch 3 gun nation, shooting usa, and hot shots, this doesnt seem as entertaining as it once did.

What he said. It's all fake TV shooting.

Why do they have to have a target that blows up everytime... haha. The reason I say this is because you get people who do not know anything about guns and they think that's what those horrible assault rifles do they blow up when you shoot something... I do like how they do not vote off anymore and its up to their shooting ability.

are they not replaying it online like they did in the past?

MG23 · May 30, 2013

I have to say I wasn't impressed either. I'll stick with my outdoor channel for shooting gallery, shooting usa and such. Unfortunately I don't get the sportsman channel, so I lost 3 gun nation when NBCSports cancelled it like a little B***h.

I'll watch the show again this season, I don't have many channels to watch gun related shows on. I do like the new format, being kicked because of your shooting abilities, or lack there of. I wasn't surprised at Littlejohn going early, but I was hoping or curious if he was going to do better with his nerves since he has been participating shooting competitions since his debut versus his training in the FBI, or CIA(?) (one of those alphabet agencies) prior to his debut.

I just now got to watch a little bit from the new season. There is no $100,000. Just a crappy boat with Top Shot on the side?

JustSayWhen · Jun 5, 2013

You could probably get 30K for the boat if you sell it or you could trade it for some awesome new gear, or a lot of hookers, ya know whatever your into.

jtischauser · Jun 5, 2013

Yeah $30,000 isn't bad but its obvious why this is the last season. The $100,000 was great but a used boat makes this big TOP SHOT prize worth less than 3 Gun Nation payout which makes me smile.

yeah but the "press" you get for being the winner is the real payout..

You mean for being the first winner. Ian Harrison is the only one that has really done much with his winnings. I do see a lot more of Dustin Ellerman around the social media circles but its not anything like what Ian did when he landed the Job with Crimson Trace.
