Too bad History Channel pussed out and isn't airing another season of Top Shot.

Actually back in the day Discovery stated that they WERE dropping Sons of Guns. I remember my wife reading a NASTY email she sent to them. Looks like they thought about it and did the right thing. Even if it is only Sons of Guns.

I was also happy to see Sons of Guns was back, and I watched last night. Afterwards I thought about the current anti-gun bias in the media, which includes most T.V. networks. It made me wonder if Red Jacket sold out just to get the show back on the air, only time will tell as the season continues.

This is why:

1)   No guns focused on during the show, only the Socom stuff and that was mostly about parts and money.
2)   Next an old anti-tank weapon that killed more men then tanks.
3)   A tank for the next project, cool I will admit but a long way from a gun.
4)   And what has to be the most stupid thing I have ever seen on that show, an employee defending the shop with a      Blunderbuss. Almost seems like Biden was advising on defense tactics.

Seems to me an example of just how scripted the so called reality shows are, but only time will tell if Red Jacket did sell out on content, just to get the cash back or not.

If you go to their site they no longer have any firearms available.  Indication of sell out, or sell out?

Maybe they have too much work like everyone else so they're not taking orders except from people with an "in". OR - maybe they're just too busy doing the Hollywood thing.

Top Shots didn,'t get picked up for another season?  The second season was so over the top with drama and personality BS I never watched it again. The History Channel even had to remove their message board because of so many angry posts.


The Red Jacket bunch finally started pointing out firearm laws and that they were following all of them. Before that if I didn't know any better I would have believed anyone could make anything.
