Ep 5. Shooting Dice

Top Shot season 5 episode 5, titled "Shooting Dice," features the remaining contestants taking on a series of challenges that test their precision shooting skills. The episode begins with a demonstration from two-time world champion trick shooter, Tom Knapp, who shows the contestants how to hit a moving target with a shotgun.

After the demonstration, the contestants are divided into two teams to compete in the first challenge, which involves hitting rolling dice with a rifle. The teams take turns shooting at the dice, and whichever team hits the most dice wins the challenge. The winning team is then given the advantage of choosing the order of the competitors for the individual challenge.

The individual challenge requires the contestants to shoot at a target while standing on a platform that is constantly moving up and down. The contestants only have a small window of time to take their shot, as the platform pauses for just a few seconds at the top of its arc. The contestant with the highest score wins the challenge and earns immunity from elimination.

In addition to the main challenges, the contestants also participate in a series of mini-challenges throughout the episode. These challenges include shooting a Metal Plate Rack with a pistol, hitting a clay pigeon with a shotgun, and shooting a bullseye with a bow and arrow.

As always, the contestants are under the watchful eye of the show's expert panel of judges, comprised of experienced marksmen and firearms trainers. They provide guidance and critique to the contestants, helping them to improve their skills and perform at their best.

Overall, Top Shot season 5 episode 5 provides thrilling and intense competition as the contestants navigate the challenges and strive to come out on top. With each passing episode, the tension and excitement builds as the contestants inch closer to the ultimate prize of being crowned the Top Shot champion.
