"Crossbow Crossfire"

Premier Date: 3/6/2012
______________________________________________________________

As the field of marksmen narrows, one team holds an urgent meeting in an
attempt to reconcile their differences. The team challenge features an
ultra-modern, high-power crossbow that fires bolts at a stunning 350 feet
per second. In the aftermath of a nail-biting archery duel, the elimination
challenge is a fight to the finish with what many consider the "Perfect Pistol."

______________________________________________________________

The First Team Challenge involves a pair of shooters from each team shooting a
crossbow to a single spinning target. As each pair of shooters comes up, an
additional target is added. Shooters will accumulate points for each target hit,
but each individual round ends after one player shoots all of his targets.

WINNER: RED Team

energy battle that requires coordination and focus. Two marksmen slug it
out in the elimination challenge, using one of the most durable pistols on
the planet.

The First Team Challenge involves both teams swinging from one elevated platform
to another over a 20-foot gap, then fire one shot at a set of 5 glass jugs from

"Trick Shot Shoot Off"

Premier Date: 3/27/2012
_____________________________________________________________

Contestants take aim at bowling pins, bottle openers and other specialty
targets in an episode full of dazzling trick shots. One team's quarreling over
strategy translates to a poor performance at the team challenge. And after
a controversial nomination range, two shooters must go head to head to
avoid elimination.

______________________________________________________________

The First Team Challenge involves each shooter competing at one of 5 stations:

1. From 30 feet, fire the M1911 to drive a bowling pin backward through two others without knocking them down.

2. Shoot a bowling pin with the 1911 from 30 feet so that it travels diagonally back to knock over one of two others.

3. From 75 feet, fire the Volquartsen and hit a bottle opener so that it pops the cap off a soda bottle.

4. Hit the bottom bucket in a stack of two with the M1911 from 30 feet, knocking the top one into the air,
then hit the top one before it reaches the ground.

5. Shoot at 4 gumballs from 35 feet with the Volquartsen, trying to knock them cleanly off their golf tees.

3 attempts at each of the first 4 stations; 1 point per successful shot.

EPISODE #8

"The Mad Minute"

Premier Date: 4/03/2012
___________________________________________________________

Top Shot Season One winner Iain Harrison returns to school the competitors
in British weaponry. The team challenge introduces a surprising
twist, and one team bands together to conquer the task.
For the losing team, it's off to the elimination round where
two shooters compete in a high-stress precision challenge.

The "mad minute" originated as a pre-World War I term used by British riflemen
during training to describe scoring 15 hits onto a 12" round
target at 300 yd within one minute using a bolt-action rifle.
The term still exists in modern military parlance to describe
any short period of intense weapons fire.

_____________________________________________________________

The First Team Challenge involves shooting at separate moving grids of
30 targets from 35 feet. One player at a time per team,
6 shots per player. First team to hit all targets wins.


WINNER: RED Team

an incredible challenge with the Accuracy International AWM Sniper Rifle

and George Reinas return and get in on the action.

The teams were dissolved in this episode. All players received green shirts
and began to compete against each other for the rest of the season. After
the individual challenge, all players voted for one of the players who had not
won immunity. The top two vote-getters then competed in an elimination
challenge as in previous episodes.

_____________________________________________________________

maximum 10 minutes and 20 rounds per player. The four fastest times to hit it

The competition features two challenges inspired by real life SWAT team scenarios.
A physically demanding individual challenge leaves three shooters exposed for nomination.

after finishing each window. The three fastest times to hit all targets are safe from elimination.
