Brad gets the boot.
After some trick shots ...yawn.
They say only three more episodes to eliminate the others?
Who do you think is going to win the $100,000?

I tuned in for the trick shooting. Is it really that easy to hit a bullseye using a rifle and a mirror??? _________________

Snake the one that I find interesting is Kelly. Every time he gets put up he survives.
I think people are underestimating him, and he does seem to be improving more and more. _________________ Texas is the finest portion of the globe that has blessed my vision. Sam Houston. |

Agreed. I didn't like him in episode one but he seems to have grown up quite a bit since then. _________________ Steel cuts flesh. Steel cuts bone. Steel does not cut steel. --Stephen Hunter, The 47th Samurai.

I think the trick shooting that they were doing would get a LOT of shooters feeling as if they were bad shooters. I really enjoyed the slo-mo shots of the shotgun pellets,, and the wads in flight.
I also find the smoke & fire patterns of the different handguns in slo-mo to be quite interesting!
Miss Penny was glad to see that whiny Brad get eliminated. She also commented that if Denny were to win this,, it has to be rigged,, as he has performed badly in two team competitions,, and not even had to go to elimination. _________________ Shoot straight and safe!

I know what you mean. I think too many on the show and watching the show looked at him and thought "light weight", looks like he should be in junior high or high school instead of there, too young and inexperienced except for long range shooting and thought he would fail at other shooting tasks. _________________ Texas is the finest portion of the globe that has blessed my vision.

What surprised me was how he shot with a Colt SAA!
Especially after he told that he carries on regularly. _________________ Texas is the finest portion of the globe that has blessed my vision. Sam Houston. |

I think if I had to pick, I would put my money on Peter. He seems to be good all around, but some of the others are too. Tough call.

Not going to miss Brad (and his excuse for every situation mindset) at all. While Tara & Pete were impressive going 3 for 3 on the over the shoulder shot, the money shots for the night IMHO was when Chris drove in 2 of the 3 nails.

The fact that Denny didn't do well again with weapons that he's familiar with isn't suprising when you take into account (according to the linked article below) that he hadn't hardly shot any live ammo in the past ten years (in the cowboy mounted shooting events they only shoot blanks). I ran across the following interview that the folks with Cheaper Than Dirt had with Denny on July 19th http://cheaperthandirt.com/blog/?p=3416 . Denny also indicated in the interview that his team mates were unaware that he had not shot hardly any live ammo since 1999. _________________ "We will always remember. We will always be proud.

Denny needs to "cowboy up" and admit he is not good.
So far he has skirted around getting elected to the elimination rounds..

When was the last time Denny the Cowboy hit a target?
Maybe they should get rid of the red and blue targets and make them all brown. Some people in that show are a lot better at shooting the "bull" than shooting at a target. _________________ Val

Tara, I think she's a smart player and a damn good shooter. laying low and keeping out of the limelight.
Denny sucks, Adam is a whiner, The rest are just OK.
Some interesting scenerios I wish I had a chance to try.
I still want some of those exploding targets! |
