Ooooh, and I’m just about out of vodka, too. How fortuitous!

Also, when I first saw the title “Top Shot,” I was thinking that was a “Top Chef” for bartenders. :P

I gotta say… some cop that looks like the Hulk points a gun at me, I don’t think it’d need to be fancy. A .22 would put me in my place :)

I really like Effen. We’ve been drinking it for a few years now, and it’s my go to vodka of choice for dirty martinis. :)

Sorry…I really figured you would have spotted it. Been watching since last season, totally awesome show. Next week is all trick shots.
And Sons of the Gun is a blast too. Like Sythe said, it’s about a custom gun shop. What he didn’t tell you is they do some very crazy shit, like building a semi-auto SUPRRESSED .12 ga shotgun or mounting a shotgun on an ATV so a wounded Marine could go hunting again.
My favorite so far was when they customized a WWII Browning .30 caliber MG into a shoulder fired weapon for some cop (who resembled a black version of the Hulk).

Hey there is there show called Top Shot on the History channel that I think you should watch. =P

Welcome to Chicago btw. Glad you guys enjoy Portillos, it’s a very delicious place to eat. There are many places in chicago to eat, I recommend the Webber Grill and Ditka’s(as in Mike Ditka of Da Bears!)

I live in the UK and discovered Top Shot through a friend. One nice thing about not knowing it existed however is that you get to find and watch the whole of the first series at your own pace :)

Also, not competition based, but there is currently a show running called ‘Sons of Guns’ which revolves around custom gun shop Red Jacket.

Being British I have no real experience of guns so seeing some of the stuff that comes out of that shop!
