Apart from my reenacting hobby, I have rarely been involved in the use of firearms. A number of my coworkers however very often engage in discussions about pistols and rifles. They recently turned me onto a new reality show playing out on the history channel called top shot.
Top shot pits several of the world’s best marksmen against each other and themselves. Through various challenging scenarios and weapons, the marksmen vie for the title of “Top Shot.”
I’ve been very impressed with the skill at which each contender handles their weapons, but I was most impressed with the “Long Shot” episode. In that episode, each contestant had to handle a powerful and accurate weapon and score their shots while peering through high powered rifle scopes.
If the larger number of military and law enforcement professionals have the same level of skill that these marksmen do, I feel much more secure in trusting them with the safety of my family and my country.
