Post Description

With the most physically demanding challenges yet and more surprising twists than ever before, the competition series Top Shot is back for a third season. This time, an all-new arsenal of history-inspired challenges awaits 16 fearless contestants as they vie for a $100,000 prize package and the right to claim the title of Top Shot.

The 14 marksmen and two markswomen were carefully selected from thousands of applicants to participate in this season. The contestants include a national revolver champion, two homeland security agents, a former Navy SEAL, two cops, a nurse and several firearms instructors. Two of the competitors are self-taught.

The shooters will have to display mastery of weapons from all eras of human history, from primitive rocks to sophisticated firearms. Contestants will employ some of the biggest munitions ever featured on the series, including the Gatling gun, the Hotchkiss mountain gun and the CornerShot. In addition, they must endure grueling physical tests to stay in the game. High-speed, high-definition cameras capture the skillful execution of each test in extreme slow motion
