The Rifleman's Reality

By NRA Staff (RSS)

February 04, 2011

With last year's introduction of the History Channel's Top Shot, the firearms world got its first taste of reality TV….and we loved it. The manufactured drama might not be our style, but the historical, competitive and, of course, shooting aspects hooked us from episode one.


With Season 2 set to debut this Tuesday, Feb. 8 on the History Channel, we're turning our fascination with this reality shooting competition into a blog.


On board for this effort is the first ever Top Shot champion Iain Harrison. The savvy Brit marksman will be checking in every week to give his candid opinions on everything from behind-the-scenes hijinks to how each historically inspired challenge was constructed. We'll have interviews with contestants, reviews of the firearms used and plenty of chances for you to voice your opinion.


There's a new cast, new guns, something new for us to do on Tuesday nights and, while nobody is getting $100,000 for this effort, we plan to have some fun along the way.

Too bad Travis, didn't see that coming. I hope there's some "gimmick" down the road that allows you another shot at this. Great show last night.

I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1 (even if Tara didn't win!) and I am thrilled that History Channel has brought back TOP SHOT for a second season! I'm looking forward to the producers building on the learning curve from last season. I'm excited to see what kind of competitions they've dreamed up this time.

Great to see the NRA supporting a great show. As a liftime member of the NRA I have been waiting for this day for over 20 years, shooting competitions on TV.

I was one of the 50 to make it L.A. for the finals, and I really look forward to watching season 2! Hopefully you'll see me on season 3!
