Top Shot: Final Four Revealed as We Head to the Finale

Last night was the last episode before this season's finale of Top Shot on the History Channel.

The challenge the contestants had to go up against was unlike anything I have ever seen. The contestants were strapped into a device which basically worked like a hand on a clock. It took them in a 360-degree circle, and they had a circle of targets to shoot at.

There were 20 targets set up on a board 35 feet high. Each contestant had 28 rounds with a Heckler & Koch to try and take out as many of the targets as they could.

Gary was up first. He showed promise in the practice session, but when he got up there he was only able to hit one target.

Dustin, the best shooter in many of the competitions, went next. He started off strong with a perfect 10 out of 10 hits, but he faltered at the top and ended up totaling 12 hits.

Chris was next and he too hit 12 targets, but with one less bullet than Dustin, putting him into the lead.

Next up was Mike Hughes, who had just returned after being eliminated. He returned after Jake had chosen to leave the show. The Rules said if someone leaves, the last person eliminated would return. Mike returned and fought his way back into the house by eliminating Phil.

Mike ended up hitting zero targets which came as a shock to me because he was one of the better shooters in the show.

Last was Alex who ended up hitting two targets. This made him eligible for elimination along with Mike and Gary.

At the end of the day Alex, Mike and Gary were eligible for elimination and Chris and Dustin were safe and guaranteed a spot in the finale.

The group voted in Mike after he volunteered to go after hitting no targets, and Alex who had hit more than Gary, but had never been to an elimination challenge.

The elimination challenge saw the contestants use a Steyr high-tech pistol. Their objective was to hit as many targets as they could while seated in a device which pulled them backwards at 15 mph.

Alex went first and hit 12 of the 20 targets which looked impressive given the difficulty of the challenge.

Mike was next, and living up to his grandmaster title he took out all 20 targets, securing his place in the finale.

So that leaves Chris and Dustin who were safe from elimination, Gary who was not voted into elimination and Mike who fought his way back from elimination as the four guys who will compete next week in the finale.

Next week we will find out who will take home the $100,000 prize and the title of Top Shot.

Who do you think will win?
