I'm guessing "round" won't cut it. I'm out.

Sounds like a good show. Tough to rely on your skill when you have no idea what you'll be shooting, but that is part of the fun I guess.

My skill with an 1845 Harpers Ferry is nothing to write home about.

Unfortunately, as such I won't be able to apply...

Crap, I've got the "in good shape" thing covered. Now if I could shoot......

The fact that I cannot hit the ground without gravity's help using a shotgun disqualifies me immediately. Handgun skills follow close behind. The last time I shot a rifle past 600 yards was rather underwhelming......

I'll be interested to see what background the winner has. Precision rifle at long and unknown distances, high-speed, low-drag pistol shooting, and possibly trick-shooting and some shotgunning (multiple clays etc....) are not generally skills that overlap too far, at least not at a high level. A "jack of all trades, master of none" could end up taking it simply by not being eliminated through having any massive weaknesses.

The "in good physical shape" part tells me that they are going to make some of the stuff realistic, or at least they're gonna wear your ass out before letting you shoot. It could be fun to watch.
It turns out that what you have is less important than what you do with it.
