Top Shot: Season 4

Still fun, but the worst season yet
This was the worst Top Shot season so far. The producers seem to be relying on more gimmicks and less on shooting. The contestants seem to have been picked by a marketing focus group with no regard to actual qualification. When somebody wins, I don't get the feeling that they won because they are good shooters. More often, they won because they sucked the least and/or got lucky. The shooters that ARE good don't shine due to the nature of the challenges. In previous seasons, some shooters still managed to shine through all the BS. This season, less so.

Basically, all the usual things wrong with Top Shot just get magnified in this season--more heavy on showbiz, and more light on rigor. I expect the next season to have even more gimmicky weapons, even more watered-down and unrealistic challenge that are difficult for reasons unrelated to shooting ability, and celebrity contestants.

outstanding creative challenges
there is never a dull moment for even the non shooter on this show. The historical weapon use is remarkable.

Top Shot Season 4
Show was definitely a full 5 stars, Amazon however gets only 1 this time. Instant Video works great on my laptop, tv and Xbox. No android app equals total FAIL! Instant Video app only available on kindle fire meaning no access from my Samsung tablet or phone. Samsung products are the most popular and abundant these days. Very poor marketing decision. I will not bother to purchase any more instant videos from Amazon as most of the time spent watching such contant is on my tablet.
