That goes back to the "Good old one beating a good young one" thing. Nothing like "I almost died. This is just shooting. Nothing to get excited about". Making friends in a competitive environment is one thing. Earning loyalty? He must have been quite a guy.

While he probably has the best mechanics/quickest on the show, especially with pistols, I don’t think he was the best rounded marksman with all weapons on the show ever….that title belongs to Chris Reed. You said arguably

EPISODE #11
Wheel of Fire
Premier Date: 10/18/2011
==================================================================
The five remaining marksmen face one of the most difficult challenges in Top Shot history. Shooters will use the powerful and compact SP89 semi automatic pistol while moving through the air upside down. With the last spot in the final four up for grabs, one competitor amazes the group with a stunning performance at the elimination challenge.
==================================================================
The Individual Challenge involves one shooter at a time firing at a 35-foot-diameter ring of 20 targets from 35 feet, while strapped to the end of a vertically rotating 16-foot arm. Each shooter is given one full revolution of the arm to get up to speed, then must fire during a second revolution using one 28-round magazine. The two highest numbers of hits are safe from elimination; ties are broken by fewer rounds fired.
=================================================================
The nomination picks for the Elimination challenge are Mike & Alex
=================================================================
The Elimination event involves firing at 20 ground targets placed among obstacles and debris while riding a zip-line backwards at 15 miles per hour. Higher number of hits wins.
LOSER: Alex
==================================================================
TONIGHTS WEAPONS
Heckler & Koch SP89 pistol (based on the MP5K submachine gun)
Steyr SPP 9x19mm pistol (based on the Steyr TMP)
===================================================================

Holy Smokes man! The first challenge! WOW! My favorite yet, and I like the pistol! HK makes awesome stuff I will likely never own!
Individual challenge! Excellent and fun to watch!!! I'm totally unfamiliar with the gun though... Impressive shooting from Mike!

Im rooting for Dustin!! Love him, he's a natural, he's got good sportsmanship, he's just an all around guy/shooter. Besides, I'd love to see someone who is lacking "experience" to prove that you can be extremely good at something that you've put your heart and time into. I think his confidence doesn't outweigh his desire and drive to win.

I dont think it takes six weeks for them to film the show. I would think they have the whole show done in a 3 weeks, if that.
