G-MAN Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I finally had to quit DVRing "Sons of Guns." As much as I enjoy firearms, and as interesting as some of their builds are, I simply cannot stand Will Hayden. With his personality, I don't know how anyone puts up with him.

Moe Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 When one of the guys on that show wanted a depth mic. so he could chamber a rifle and was told to "eye ball it", that was enough for me. What a bunch of chumps. Pure reality TV bullcrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 That show is terrible! It offends me as a gun enthusiast and a fabricator/machinist/engineer. What a bunch of hacks doing stuff "that's never been done before" but a little googling shows it to be nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's got a couple of competent gunsmiths working for him, and you can hear (and see) the tension between them when their expertise conflicts with his seat-of-the-pants "just get it done" mentality.

BarryinIN Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I've never seen it and never really wanted to after seeing the commercials. It looked like American Chopper with guns.Top Shot (season 1) was such a disappointment that I only watched what I did because I knew someone in there (Caleb Giddings- he used to live in the area and shoot IDPA at one of the same places i do).I watch Best Defense sometimes. I like Mike Janich quite a bit but can hardly take Bane, so it's a tradeoff. Sometimes I catch Tac TV.I liked SWAT Magazine TV because I was on the first episode for about 10 seconds!

RLH70 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 It looked like American Chopper with guns.That is exactly what I was going to say. I never cared for Top Shot either. There are several "gun" shows I watch on The Outdoor Channel and The Sportsman Channel that I find much more informative and entertaining.

Tom Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 It feels more like "Trick my Truck" with guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The one and only time I watched the show, one of the idiots was hacksawing the barrel of a shotgun. It was not even close to square. It's an insult to anyone who values their craft and/or gets compensated for their skills. Gun or not gun related. Stupid TV.
