Turns out the real “Top Shot” at the NRA National Defense Match at Camp Perry, Ohio, was a 14-year-old high school freshman. At the match, I ran into my friend Iain Harrison, the first winner of the History Channel’s “Top Shot” shooting-based reality show, and a writer and blogger on this site. Iain, who is now media relations manager at Crimson Trace, is fierce competitor and ended up winning the inaugural National Defense Match. Also there was Iain’s runner up on the reality show, Chris Cerino, who now runs Chris Cerino Training Group and is a part-time police officer. Shooting with his dad was Colton Cerino, a high school freshman. I watched Colton shoot and was impressed by his discipline, accuracy and coolness—he was having fun. And he was shooting well, too. He took first place in the optics category and fifth overall. Not long before stepping onto the range at Perry, he had run his dad’s carbine course and done pretty well; I interviewed both father and son about the match.
