Season 3 got off to a great start last night with the producers choosing to create an instant winner versus loser dynamic, via the medium of the S&W .500 Mag. In the initial head-to-head shoot off, competitors were paired up according to their backgrounds and Mike Hughes showed his mettle with a smoking run, despite being much more familiar with a Glock. Both ladies were forced to deal with recoil that was way out of their comfort zones—a pretty harsh way to kick off the competition, but great for showing the audience dramatic high speed footage of flames blowing out of the barrel/cylinder gap.
