Hey Diddle Diddle...

The History Channel is beginning the 4th season of their show Top Shot.  It is a reality show for shooters...of everything. Pistols, rifles, bows, knives, spears, etc.  But mostly pistols and rifles.  They try to add drama for the show, but most of the shooters are either former military, law enforcement, or competitive shooters - who seem to be normal people.  The Bannon family loves the show, and it would be better without the added 'drama.'  The winner usually ends up being a good guy, and a great shooter.

Season 4...has a ringer:

I don't want to rain on "William's" parade, but the definition of a combat shooter is one who can shoot accurately when somebody else is shooting back. It changes the dynamic. I don't know if William ever had the opportunity to be in that situation because he is a marksmanship guy. It would have built his resume considerably in my estimation if he has been in that situation and could talk about pistol head shots he's taken against moving targets while under fire.

Maybe he has and it's not politically correct to say it - but it's nothing like frigging golf.

In his defense, he works with New Agents in Training - which on the range in Quantico, can be one of the most dangerous places on earth...just kidding, it has a great record of safety...but...lawyers, accountants, 'language specialists'...some armed for the first time in their lives.

Some people would say that arming attorneys brings its own brand of danger...

hmm, looks like a good show. Of course any show including large explosions and guns is a good show.
