I, too, tried, honestly tried, to watch this over the weekend, as I thought the premise was great (with the way it was portrayed at the beginning, it looked like a cross between Top Chef/Last Comic Standing).
However, not even twenty minutes into it, lull and listlessness. So boring in the way they set up the contestants, why they are there, and when they finally got around to the challenges, it was uninpressive as a whole. I'm not totally out as I would like to see this series progress, but that opening episode had a lot to be desired.
I also thought these were to supposed the "world's best" professional shooters, but I think only one or two of them can actually hold that claim. The rest are like semi-pro amateur enthusiasts.
