Please - more seasons
My son and I really like this show. It's interesting not only watching all of the challenges presented to the contestants each episode, but we also like seeing the variety of weapons used. It should be interesting to the gun manufacturers that we have considered buying certain guns after seeing them on Top ShotSeason 5 was the best. We really like the new format void of the plots used by the producers to stimulate drama. In the previous seasons the divisions created by the Red and Blue teams were artificial but likely produced the type of drama they thought was beneficial to the show. Then there was the single shot selection process, shooting a target with a shooters name under it, for elimination shoot-outs which also provided some drama. We didn't appreciate any of that.
In season 5 all of the artificial drama was gone leaving nothing but pure marksmanship which we really enjoyed. I read one professional review that suggested season five was dull. Nothing could be further from the truth. There was great excitement and none of the diversions of the previous seasons. We could watch without rolling our eyes every time some rivalry surfaced. In season 5 even the shooters felt it was more of a contest and appreciated it.
The only thing I didn't like about season five was the single shot elimination selection. In my opinion that doesn't prove who was the better shooter. Anyone can make an error. I wish that would be replaced by at least three shots in some sort of contest.
score 8/10
