I really wanted to like this show, as a competitive shooter. But it was amazing how little shooting there actually was. Or should I say how little useful or realistic shooting there was. How seriously can you take a show where they are sending people home because of how well they shoot a canon, or a flintlock pistol, or an atlatl--yes, seriously. I wanted to see a show about true competitors, the drills that they do to improve their skills and train, and what I saw was mostly a joke. This could have been such a great show, but they alienated their core audience--the competitive shooter--by making it too much of a joke to take seriously. So what does that leave you with in terms of an audience? Yeah--nobody. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
