Would it? Really?
I love shooting it but watching it?! I can feel my eyelids getting heavier just thinking about it!
Watch a guy drop his beanbag down and shuffle around a bit and look though his scope and while looking through it twiddle his sidewheel for ages then look at a little chart then twiddle a turret then look down his scope again then twiddle again then pull the string and look thoughtful then loads a pellet then looks down the scope again and pauses.... and finally there's either a barely audible 'phut' (or a muted crack that will sound really weedy on the telly). Oh yes and a target will either fall or... will just stand there, with attendant weedy 'dink' noise.
Yes you'd have time limits but even so it's not rivetting is it.
