Looks like the new and improved second season of the History Channel’s Top Shot will be focusing more on “Big Personalities”, and less on shooting.
According to the Top Shot Season 2 casting call website, you may not have to be a “master shooter” to become Top Shot 2, instead, it looks like they will be focusing even more on conflict creation and BIG personalities (You know, jerks):
Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, a resident or citizen of the United States and reasonably proficient with shooting and marksmanship. Further eligibility requirements are listed in the casting application.
Not sure if you’ve got what it takes to become the next “Top Shot”? Here’s a short list of additional requirements to help you decide if Top Shot 2 is for you:
- Do you know which end of the gun the bullet comes out of?
- Are you always the loudest person in the room?
- Can you find the bang switch?
- Do you have a long list of enemies?
I understand that I’m not the target demographic for the show, but I would think that more shooting and less faux drama would be a more effective way to increase the popularity of the show.
P.S. How did Caleb make it on to this show? He is the polar opposite of all the above.

As the casting director for Top Shot, I’d like to leave a brief comment. The casting verbiage noted above is the same used for casting season 1 of the show. We encouraged both professionally trained and self-taught shooters to apply then, and we’re doing it again. Application is open to anyone who believes that they have the skill to master various firearms and projectile weapons, even if they have yet to prove it in competition. Of course, you will need to prove your skill before you are cast on the show.
Best of luck to all of our applicants!
All best,

I am 27 years old and have been involved in competitive shooting since I was 10 or 12 years of age. I excel shooting a shotgun. I have competed with rifles and pistols and as a hobby I shot a long bow very well. As for as all around shooting goes with all types of guns and bows combined, I think I can kick most anyones ass

Just watched the DVR’d finale – wish the whole season would have been like that. It took them until the last episode to turn the marksmanship competition into JUST a marksmanship competition.
The one thing that would have made it better – if the host would shut the F up! We can see who has hit a target, we can count how many are left – I got so sick of his voice.
