+1 on that. I'm a shooter and really have to pay attention when they give the COF run thru. A non-shooter isn't going to have a clue. A comparison to Top Shot is unfair though. TS gets to set up every event for max TV appeal. 3GN has to do it at an existing match.
People also need to (and want to) understand what theyre seeing, or should look for, (comments as shooters are shown navigating stages would be one thing that could be added) as things like flippers, shotgun no-shoots etc, steel in natural terrain might be really hard to see if you dont know what you're looking for. In some of the stages shown on tv it simply looks like the competitors burn half a mag into the bushes...
What are your thoughts on 3 Gun Nation?

Love the show, the website and the entire idea of the 3Gun Nation Tour! 3Gun Nation is taking the sport to an whole new level. It is a driving force to bring more people into the sport.....the publicity, shoot off format and the prize money will keep it growing.

I'm still waiting on being able to watch Season 2 on line. I loved season 1 but I have a bottom of the line satellite package so I don't get the channel. Anyone know when the second season will be available?

I like the new format.
they might try a Pro-AM show,,, now and again,, not just the Pro's all the time,,,
3 Gun is for all skill Levels just showing the pro's all of the time might scare off the new folks, that think they can't Play Too.
+1 on this.

I just wish they'd get the episodes online.
I miss it, good show, my son and I watched last season together.
It was really nice getting the episodes a week after they aired.
Not sure why they went backwards for the second season.

A comparison to Top Shot is unfair though. TS gets to set up every event for max TV appeal. 3GN has to do it at an existing match.
I'd say its more a question about money rather than being fair... What's stopping 3GN from building their own stages or even matches?
Is the current format with giving out points at a bunch of random matches the way to go if they want to grow the show as well as bring in new shooters and sponsors?
How about something like 10 (or 6, or 4, Im just throwing numbers out there) qualifying mini matches with 3-4 stages spread out around the country, all specifically built for good TV. Each match ends with a shoot-off where the top 4 or so go on to the finals in Vegas, or you get points and the guys with the most points at the end of the season goes to the final shoot-off.
Using just one division would also take away all the problems with the various scoring/grading systems used in the last couple of years, and since the matches are decoupled from the "regular" matches, people can still continue to shoot their favorite matches in their favorite division...
A "tour" like that would definitely have the potential of looking more professional as well as giving them the possibility of making really good TV. It would also disconnect 3GN from the "regular" matches, which might be a good (or a bad) thing. Having one day matches would also make it easier for people to get in and out in a weekend. It could still be set up over a weekend with side matches, vendor tents etc etc...

I liked this season's format. I liked the spotlight shooters and the fact that they didn't always pick the most recognized competitors. I thought the Junior spot light was great too, which pretty much lined her up for the Noveski and Benelli sponsorships. It's not often that any junior catches a major break like that. It will be inspirational to other juniors as well. I liked that the match was covered on one episode and shoot off on another. I didn't like the all shootoff format of season one. Shootoff's are cool, but I'm interested in learning about the different match flavors too. The only real criticism I have is that with an entire episode dedicated to the shootoff, you'd think they could give all of the shootoff guys a little exposure. There were more than a few hard working up and coming competitors who consistently outshot many of the top dogs to make the shootoff, only to find that they not only got no airtime, but weren't even mentioned. They worked hard and earned a few seconds in the spotlight. I'd rather see them, than interviews with the top dogs who almost made it to the shootoff.

I think the show is great. I would like to see a little more time on the gear of the top competitors. What they use, how they use it and why they like it. I love the tips and pointers part. The shows that spent a lot of time on heavy metal were ok but how many guys shoot it at the local level? Overall it is great for our sport and I really appreciate everything that goes into making it happen - thank you !!
