Hey, I know a revolver champ around here who knows him too!
Anyway, I certainly fast forward the Red Headed Self-Proclaimed God of the Shotgun.

I'm not a fan of the redhead either...he's just not good. But I did gain a little respect for him in the elimination round with the gatlin gun. Drawing out diagrams and studying them.

His cockiness annoys me. I wish he'd get eliminated already. He totally sucked on both the shotgun challenge and the shooting dice challenge.

I like Top Shot myself and I get chuckles when the whiners come out. Remember the last two still have to hit the targets to win.

He beat JERRY?!! Some bash Top Shot, saying these people aren't the top shots. It's just the name of the show, the winner is the top shot in the show, not in the world. They don't claim to be. Good luck to your buddy, sounds like if he knows a little about politics he should have a very good chance. I keep threatening to try out, but am too lazy to put together a tape

Cliff is flying under the radar as "just a revolver guy." Last night he was the ONLY one who cleaned both explosive targets with one shot each in the rope course using the carbine. He obviously is pretty good with semi auto pistols and rifles, at least.
The Cornershot looks impractical, specialized use but maybe too specialized. It is just a Glock mounted in a hinged stock with a camera sight. But who is going to carry that around with them? And it has the range of a pistol not a rifle. I could see it sits in a patrol car and pulled out when pinned down, but I can't imagine the military hauling one of those along on a patrol because you have to have your carbines, SAW, grenades and ammo. As big as a carbine with only the range/ammo of a pistol.

The corner shot is impractical??? What about the gattling gun or cannon? No one said it was practical but they do have their uses.

The difference is that the Cornershot is in current production and intended for current use. It certainly works around corners, but who is going to lug one around in place of, or in addition to, his normal patrol weapon? Do any current military or police forces employ the Cornershot? Other than the Israelis who manufacture the CS? General issue, supervisor only?

I am not up to snuff on who carries what but in the show they did say that they were brought to popularity due to the recent more urban environment we are fighting in, in the middle east. Well maybe not urban but villages with buildings. Instead of:
A. Blind firing into a doorway B. Attempting to quickly about face, asses situation, then fire the corner shot is used. What I was getting at is they all have their place. Shotguns are used in combat today, one may argue that isn't not practical to carry that either but people still do. |

No, not Jerry. But my friend just came in second under Jerry in a recent match.
http://www.ammoland.com/2011/09/08/s...olver-contest/ Gregg! Real nice guy at local matches.

I only watch that show to watch the whiny *******s get humbled, I was disappointed this week, Coach Attitude survived.
I still can't believe the best challenges get reserved for the elimination round, the canon and the gatling should have been team challenges. |

Speaking of Jerry, I thought I saw him on the commercial for the next episode, but I was looking at it from the other room, and he had a gun in front of his face, and I couldn't tell for sure. Is he supposed to be on there next episode, or was it someone else?

With all due respect, how did Jake become an officer? I'm not seeing many leadership traits from him.

I don't know names but when a former Navy Seal cannot hit a target with a very similar platform to what they used in the Navy, then thats a problem. It took the guy something like ten shots to hit them.

One thing is for sure if Cliff can do it a bunch of us here on TFL can do it. Half the field in the matches I attended could do it. |

I hope they have a DA revolver round coming up. Dustin is the other surprised. I wonder what his background is besides Christian Campground Counselor. Do they have a combat range at camp or something?

Cliff made that G34 Glock talk...lol. He woke a few folks up. The church guy is pretty awesome too. He was a machine on the friend or foe elimination.
Cliff did lose out on round 1 with the S&W Model 29 which is a revolver. That could have been part of his plan tho...lol

Well something is definitely screwy with the zero when you need a spotter to make hits with an AR at 75yds and 100yds on an 8" target at 100yds. I wonder if they used a 25yd military zero? That would have made those targets much more difficult.
