Top Shot Season 4 Finale - thoughts?

[hoosierdoc]

I just finished the episode. I could not be happier that Littlejohn lost on the grenade launcher component. I mean, a world champion grenadier!!!

I'm sure BassPro was hoping Chris did NOT win when it came down to he and Littlejohn. I just think one embodies shooting a bit more than the other from a marketing standpoint. Props to Chris though, beat them straight up.

That was the closest competition so far. I would have like it better if they would have gotten rid of the flint lock and ended it with a 1,500 yard shot.

Also glad Littlejohn didnt win...If he would have won, they would have surely canceled the show... He is not a good shooter... but he is probably one of the nicest people i have seen on tv.
I really think Kyle Sumpter would have won if he didnt take on such a fatherly role and played to win. It does speak volumes about his character though. I will root him on if i ever see him at a match (unlikely)

Definately glad Little John didn't win. I was shocked he got so far after so many screw ups. But he did go to 5 elimination challenges and won them, so that does speak about his shooting ability. But, Chris is just a complete natural, he can master any weapon he picks up. Much like Dustin from season 3 (winner) and Jay from season 2.

Although I was going for Gabby or Michelle this season. I want to see a female go all the way, I really thought they had a good chance, especially Gabby.

I was definately the best finally yet and I really hope they pick it up for another season! Even with the drama, I still enjoy watching.

There were several other shooters that were better. Upset at it, but it is what it is.

The only way to make it truly the top shot is to eliminate the vote. Crappiest shooters from losing team go on to elimination. In the event of a tie, shootout with losing weapon.

I am hoping for season 5 though!

I was glad to see Chris win out over Littlejohn. After Littlejohns struggle with the flinter, I had a hard time watching him. Cock the freaking hammer dude! Chris seems to be a natural, and I think his winning makes a good story. Self taught IT dude beats out trained folks with Military and LEO experience.

 

[actaeon277]

Aaahhhh I missed it.

I would have liked Gabby to win also.

im happy with it i suppose, i agree to get rid of the voting and just make it the 2 worst compete and loser goes home ..... but that will never happen , not enough drama for hollywood

 

[Tripp11]

Happy for Chris to win, and the last person I wanted to see win would have been LittleJohn - especially after his crying like a schoolgirl sessions and his friendship bandanas. That was all just a little too 5th grade girlish for me.

Was anyone else NOT impressed with their shooting skills during the "call your shot" elimination round when they got to the last three standing? I thought it was embarassing for them.

I don't know, I think Chris could be a better marketing opportunity than Littlejohn. Chris is the everyman - just an ordinary IT geek with no formal training whatsoever. He's like the winner from last year - the camp counselor. If Chris can do it so can anyone. With the right gear from Bass Pro Shops, of course.

Haha. Well played. Do you work for BassPro?

Most definitely this. Chris is a much more appealing figure to average folks who like to shoot, or want to learn. Should appeal to a much broader segment of the American public (which is what we all want, right?).


Littlejohn seemed to think he had it coming to him because of his background. I was surprised the final was that close, given LJ's performance in the earlier rounds.

 

[mosinfan]

Hers is hoping for another season

 

[EvilElmo]

No I don't. I guess I should have put that last line in purple...

A replay of any footage featuring the "friendship bandanas" would have ruined any and all marketing potential Littlejohn may have had. I think I sprained a muscle in my eyes when they involuntarily rolled so much when I saw that.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Ok, I can read between the limes. Which board should my WTS INGO friendship bandanas go in? I was going to give them away to a few of you, but not now

 

[bonas96]

Was a good season...suprised to see Chris win, but Littlejohn was an interesting fella!

Well, now I'm just ashamed of myself!

Overall I enjoyed this season. Very glad nobody in this group got up and quit like Jake did last season. Disappointed they didn't have a long-range stage in the final. Glad that Chris won, although I was disappointed with how all the shooters did in the pick-your-gun-and-target stage of the finale.

I am glad to see him win I was in his and Kyle's corner. I like the underdog factor for Chris and Kyle was just a good dude. Nice to see a nature shooter with no training win especially someone out of an office environment love it. Fun I have noticed on this show that most of the time the nature or the backwood country hunters seem to be the best all around shooters and the trained shooters fall behind.
