Finale

By Iain Harrison

Since the first two seasons established a template for the finale that works, the producers seem loathe to change.

Iain Harrison: Top Shot Finale

I must confess that when the AmericanRifleman.org folks approached me to provide my insight on "Top Shot," I was a little bit hesitant. I'm really not a TV kind of guy, but they persisted. I guess my take is somewhat akin to a kid in Willy Wonka's factory—there's a ton of stuff happening that looks cool, but I have no idea what it does so please take any views offered with a basketball-size grain of salt. What has been interesting is the way the show has gotten bigger and better, and how it has brought many non-shooters into the fold. I've talked to a lot of people who've seen the show and want to go shooting as a direct result. So, if you have a similar encounter, please take the time to show them just how safe, satisfying and challenging our hobby can be.
