Did you watch Top Shot last night?

How about the trick shooting last night? That was some tough stuff.

Splitting a bullet on an axe head is a whole lot harder than it looks, at it looks damn hard!

Shooting the pipes was probably the easiest of the four, but doing it with a double action revolver changes the complexity of it from hard to extremely hard, especially at the distance they had to shoot from.

Shooting the side by side plates, wow! You can see professional trick shot guys do this with ease, but it takes years of practice. For these guys to do as good as they did with the very limited time they had to train is very impressive. Off hand shooting is a tough skill by itself. It's a good skill to have. You never know when your primary hand could become disabled and you have to rely on your weak hand.

Shooting the plates that were further apart is next to impossible without lots and lots of practice. You almost have to have the two sides of your brain thinking independently, each side concentrating on it's own shot. But then you also have to coordinate the trigger pull on bit of the double action revolvers. As you saw with Chris, it's not an easy task.

It was too bad to see Kyle leave last night. I didn't quite understand how Jay didn't go to the elimination challenge. The past few team challenges Jay didn't perform any better than Kyle did. Kyle has proven to be very adaptable and picked up new weapons with ease. The blue team is going to miss him later in the competition.

When you see professional shooters struggling with these shots, it kind of puts some of the crap you see in movies into perspective.

The carnival shooting with a .22 rifle next week looks like a lot of fun.
