Nor 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: where you stand with on X okay, cal go on okay? 7 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: First off, people, what you're you're saying really boring stuff 8 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: about about beer? Yeah, I mean it's it's it's this 9 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: is a road well traveled here. We're not not cutting 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: a new trail. We're talking about how that you know, 11 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: the perception is an I P A I must take 12 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: a lot of time because of the complex flavors and 13 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: how powerful the beer seems. But in reality, like a 14 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: pilsner is so highly refined, it takes a lot more 15 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: time to produce than than an I P A uh. 16 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: And you know, like your German beer circles there's you 17 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: get get a lot more respect for producing some highly 18 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: refined pilsner. So it takes more skill to make miller 19 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: light than in a triple I p A whoa whoa 20 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: Your cores lights just a piggyback on on top of that. 21 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Pilsner's are are laggers, so they're cold. They're cold fermented, 22 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: so it takes more time for the yeast. But that's 23 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: part of why it takes so long. It's the east. 24 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: I would rather hear people don't even need fire. I 25 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: would rather hear people say UM. I'd rather go around 26 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: the room and have everybody say, like when I cut 27 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: my tone nails, I like to do, and have them 28 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: go through the order that they do their tonnails, and 29 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: then the next person says, well, I like it to 30 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: do the same way where I started on the left 31 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: and go It's like, I just what brought this up? 32 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: Is um? Kind of the drink I'm having. My wife 33 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: drinks a shipload of Chilada's, which is it's it's beer 34 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: and comado juice. Yeah, anything, And we were um. Her 35 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: her birthday happened that long ago, but I had to 36 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: go away on her birthday early in the morning, and 37 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: so we have been turkey hunting, and I arranged it 38 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: when we got back from camping. Turkey hunting on the 39 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: doorstep would be like a care package of things that 40 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: I know she likes. And one of the things I 41 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: know she likes is Budweise or Chelata or so I thought. 42 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: So you home and they're like, there's like flowers, fancy chocolates, 43 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: in a six pack of Budge, a lot of Tall Boys. 44 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: So the next day, on her actual birthday, I totally 45 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: forgot about her birthday and called her wants to complain 46 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: to her about something that I thought she did and 47 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: didn't do. Um, And she's nice. And I called back 48 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: a minute later and she's like, oh, he must have 49 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: remembered that it's my birthday, but instead I was calling 50 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: her to tell her a different thing I need wanted 51 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: her to do, at which point she got real uh 52 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: mad that I had again forgotten all about her birthday. 53 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: And I pointed out that I hadn't. I had just 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: celebrated it the day before and reminded her about the 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Budge lattas, and she pointed out that she drinks bud 56 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: Light cheladas, so it didn't even really count. Fail. So 57 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: now I went home and found it in the fridge. 58 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: It's the tall Boy bud and um, now I'm having 59 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: it strength m'd rather enjoy it. Um of you guys 60 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: heard this. This is interesting to talk about for a second. Here, 61 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: they really I don't know anybody did this. They redid 62 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. Are you wearing this? It's 63 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: kind of all over the news. But they made a 64 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: conscious decision that Elmer Fudd has no gun, so he 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: still has dynamite. He still has like like Hi, he 66 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: still has high intensity explosives. They're also going to allow 67 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: him to hunt bugs Bunny with a with a side yea, 68 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: as if that's like Elmer Fudd now to a side, 69 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: he's he's been disarmed and like the creators of his 70 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: cartoon Shore basically no, we're not doing guns. He still 71 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: orders stuff like they're still doing the acne products. But man, 72 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a couple of things is all the best jokes were 73 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: about the guns, like your barrel getting tied and n 74 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: that's that. That joke never gets old. And then when 75 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: he's down in the Appalachia they have like the blunderbusses 76 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: and people put their fingers and then the barrel and 77 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: all that. It's all it takes what's interested the thing. 78 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: The first thing I thought about it. I don't know 79 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: if anyways made this connection is there's a term like 80 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: if you're a dude who just thinks about guns through 81 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: the lens of hunting. You're like you you you run 82 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: the risk of being called a fund, meaning you're not 83 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: like supportive enough of gun rights because you just like 84 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: hunting guns, and it's bad to be a fund. And 85 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: here it's like it's almost like, uh, what happened to 86 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: Elmer Fudd is what they say, what happened to all funds? 87 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: You'll get like disarmed. So now here the poster boy 88 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: for being a fund has been disarmed. On the Bucks 89 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Bunny Show, it feels to me like a you know, 90 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: like it's all coming true. Feeling circumspect man. A guy 91 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: wrote in he got a guy rolled into got fish cuffed, 92 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: which is interesting. He was, he's a long haul trucker 93 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: and he carries a tackle box rounding his stuff because 94 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: he likes to stop fishing us in the Dakotas. And 95 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: he goes in his tackle box to get out of 96 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: a rappola and he's like, it's like real, he says. 97 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: He describes it as a beautiful COVID nineteen evening, meaning 98 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: apparently that no one's anywhere around, trips and falls and 99 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: snags both his thumbs on the rappola, but his phones 100 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: in his back pocket and there's his hands are so 101 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: snagged he can't even get him out of his back pocket, 102 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: and he's like bleeding all over the place and tried 103 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: to and he's he's trying to wave people down. He 104 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: needs to raise both of his bloody hands. So he's 105 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: to raise both his bloody hands in the air to 106 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: try to get help, which he says wasn't working, and 107 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: eventually finds his way down to a bar, and everybody 108 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: was so excited about their bar being back opened again 109 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: that he was able to get himself taken care of. 110 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: In North Dakota. UM, Cal's got big news. Go ahead, Cal, 111 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: where do you want me to start? Like your this 112 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: is your this is your um you know, it's like 113 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: your your thing, the passage of the Oh okay, what 114 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: news are you going to share with me on some 115 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: hot dates? Oh yeah, I'm sorry. That Great American Outdoors Act. 116 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: What do you where? Which one you want to start with? Uh? 117 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: We can start with Great American Outdoors Act. That's a 118 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: that's a great one. So you know, we've been harping 119 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: on this for a long time because it's UM contains 120 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: it's a big package that has a ton of bipartisan 121 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: support and it. But even even though that existed, we 122 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: still needed uh it to be introduced for consideration. Basically, 123 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: word came down that uh, Mitch McConnell was gonna, you know, 124 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: actually introduced the Great American Outdoors Act. We all got 125 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: super excited, um, and there was this little bit of 126 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: uncertainty that if it hit the floor because there was 127 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: so much support um, that the little bit of dissenting 128 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: voice out there, they're only opportunity to stop this public lands. Uh, 129 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: this is very beneficial to people who like to be 130 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: outside public lands, beneficial package. The only way to stop 131 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: it would be to filibuster. So the package gets introduced 132 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: and somebody has said, yeah, you want to debate this, 133 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: and during that debate situation is when somebody could stand 134 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: up and be like, yeah, hey, I got something I 135 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about, and just go until you can 136 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: you can never get a vote red um. But what 137 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: happened instead was they immediately moved um to go go 138 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: directly to a vote. Uh. Instead, it's called clot tour 139 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: cloth tour um. That sounds like a kind of yeah yeah, 140 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: drinking a cloth tour um. Uh. And so you you everybody, 141 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: and there's a big, very supportive vote seventeen. I think 142 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: that said yes, let's move this thing on. So now 143 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: it's done or it's not done. Sometimes have a hard 144 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: time with news stories because I think that they're done, 145 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: but they're not done. Yeah, well that's I did this 146 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: post on Instagram that was like, hey, go check this 147 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: out because I want you to be involved, and everybody's like, yeah, 148 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: we won. Well until the second I thought we had 149 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: one yes, So all right, Uh, well the House has 150 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: passed it, right, No, no, no, they voted the results. 151 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: They just voted to vote yes to to skip the 152 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: debate portion. It's gonna come back out, um early next 153 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: week for the actual vote. So it's still very much 154 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: a you know, stay on your elected officials. Um, this 155 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: is by the time you're hearing this, it's all history. 156 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: Do you think the uh, the overwhelming majority to vote 157 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: to vote is a good sign? Yes, I would take 158 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: it as a good sign because it eliminates one of 159 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: the threats, um, which would be just the thing being filibuster, 160 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: and for the sake of moving on with everything else 161 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: that's going on in the country, we just gotta blow 162 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: pass this good thing, which happens. Um. So yeah, it's 163 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. It's it's very much progress right now. 164 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of uh Republicans and Democrats that have 165 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: basically said, yes, we want to see movement on this thing, um, 166 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: and that right there was an opportunity to stall it 167 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: and open it up. So there's only seventeen dissenting voices, 168 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: and um, of those seventeen, you know, there's folks that 169 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: are you know, adamantly against any sort of support for 170 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: public lands, uh, you know, kind of anti any Yeah, 171 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: so really might be like Utah's no, no, and he's 172 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: one of the folks that has been Yeah, he'll let 173 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: you know that he doesn't like it. But did did 174 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: people not like it from both spectrums? It was all 175 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: the dislike coming from one direction. Oh, most of the 176 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: dislike is coming from one direction. Um. And because there's 177 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: there's no like list of the seventeen that I've been 178 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: able to find, it should be available right well, because 179 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, but yeah, if you know you have 180 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: founded or whatever the hell? Yeah, so um, but um 181 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Red, who's you didn't like it? He don't 182 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: look like he don't strike me as real outdoors And 183 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, he doesn't see the sun 184 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: a lot. We can tell that. Um. You know, his 185 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: famous quote is Texas has two percent public lands and 186 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: that's two too much. M hmm. So he's he's not 187 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: going to be voting on behalf of public lands. When 188 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: the kids go out on their little scooters or whatever, 189 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: where do they wind up? Umm? Well, I mean that's 190 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: the hard part about doing this conservation work and working 191 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: with people that don't want to. They still they can 192 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: fight against all this public work stuff. I mean as 193 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: like vehemently and ardently and just rally hard against it. 194 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they still got 195 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: to go out and use it. They still got to 196 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: go take it. There's probably people that are so um 197 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: peer so pure that they would be like, I don't 198 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: like it and I won't even go on it. Yes, 199 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: for sure that exists. Oh yeah yeah. Um so so 200 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: what happens now? Now it goes to the house. Yeah 201 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: and it Uh they should wrap this thing up on 202 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday or Wednesday is the word on this on the hill, 203 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: and then there will never be another problem. This is it, 204 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: because then they don't have to go to the Senate. 205 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: This is you, guys, This is the preliminary vote. No, 206 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: this is not the preliminary vote. This was we're bringing 207 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: this thing out onto the floor for debate.

And he couldn't handle it, 346 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: um and he had to call it off. So what 347 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: happened though? While we're down there that Chimani were explaining 348 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: to us that there's a woman that will go into 349 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: the river.

A beautiful woman, a beautiful nude woman. We'll 353 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: going to the river and pretend to drown, and she'll 354 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: seduce men to come out to save her, and then 355 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: she'll grab them and pull them. Sirens like a mermaid 356 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: siren tank. Yeah. So somehow Phil's story about the cat 357 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and this woman got uh conflated to it became that 358 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: there is a woman in the river who goes You 359 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: gotta redo it now with Daves. I thought it was Dave. 360 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: We reimagined it. We reimagined it where these two things 361 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: got conflated to where there was a siren who would 362 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: go into the river and be Dave, come safe.

We talked about it today at the rain 374 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't believe he brought it 375 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: back up. It's the main thing we talked about, told 376 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: at least a dozen people anytime. The first time we 377 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: heard it was in my place for dinner was and 378 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: sex time I heard it was better the second time. 379 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: The first time I heard it the first time we 380 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: were remember when we were witnessed to a mild catastrophe 381 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: at sheep shape show, almost witness to a mile catastrophe 382 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: a sheep show. It was a catastrophe that I almost 383 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: witnessed that inspired you to tell the story about your thumb. 384 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: I guess that's true. Yeah, And then I guess when 385 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: you we were in a little putting now I asked 386 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: you about it again.

It's I 390 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: don't know if I believe it it's And that's why 391 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to recap it because it's a very 392 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: unbelievable story, and I think a recap would do it 393 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: no justice. And we're gonna share this story with our listeners. 394 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: We gotta get the whole kit and caboodle. I'll do 395 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: a quick do you mind, You can tell it another time. 396 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: You don't need to tell it right now, but I'll 397 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: tell the short version unless it doesn't makes you uncomfortable. No, oh, 398 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: heck no, I don't care. Cut off his thumb right 399 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: at the knuckle. At the knuckle and gecko like he 400 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: regenerated his thumb to a point. Yes, and it doesn't 401 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: feel quite right, but it's definitely there. But if you 402 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: look at his two thumbs, I don't around the table. 403 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that anyone here you heard your story, bro, 404 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: Actually one of the few people who haven't. The right 405 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: thumb is regrown. The left thumb sh things your regular thumb. 406 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: This is the look.

But that was a large format color 454 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: book with the Brazilian photographs in it. So the publisher 455 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: was like, you can't.

I'm talking to you people out there, 488 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: when that book comes out, make no bones about it. 489 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna come and like prepare, start saving your money 490 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, because when that book comes out. Um, 491 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: we got screwed out of the best seller list with 492 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: our fish and Game cookbook. I was so excited just 493 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: for personal reasons and also just for general reasons to 494 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: have it be then on the New York Times best 495 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: seller list was a fishing game cookbook. I could go 496 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: into a long story, but why we sold plenty of 497 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: books to make the list, but the way they count, 498 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: they were all quick less not publishing. Here, We're getting 499 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: way off track. That's what people need to know this. 500 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: So when you look at something in the New York 501 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: Times best seller they don't they want to see it 502 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: sold from a variety of sources. Because there's a thing 503 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 1: where people can buy their own book onto the best 504 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: seller list and now and then the book will make 505 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: the best seller list and it gets accused of bulk accounts. 506 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: So because if the if the if the weather is right, 507 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: you could have a nonfiction book come out and sell 508 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: like you know, four or five thousand copies and hit 509 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: the best seller list in certain categories. So people with 510 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: means have at times orchestrated their own best sellers where 511 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: they just they had moneies on an object for them 512 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: and they've they've gamed it. So what the Times likes 513 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: to see is they like to see it's sold uh, 514 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: all around the country from a variety of sources. Then 515 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: what they like to see is they actually they actually 516 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 1: do it. So at certain independent bookstores are two x 517 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: when they when they run their formula. We sold all 518 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: the books that were in print, We sold before the 519 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: book came out, all through Amazon. So by the time 520 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: the book came out, it was already it was already 521 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: back ordered thousands of copies, and we had sold enough 522 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: through pre orders to hit the best seller lists. In fact, 523 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 1: we know the exact numbers of what the best seller 524 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: because our publisher had a bunch of them. We know 525 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: we sold more copies than books that beat us on 526 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: the best seller list, but it didn't count because they 527 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: had all been single source pre orders through Amazon, so 528 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: the numbers were not accepted. So this time, man, we're 529 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: talking about it pretty early. What is it June? We're 530 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: talking about something's gonna happen in like November, December. But 531 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: get ready, yeah, start asking your local books store now, 532 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: plan on not getting it through Amazon? Is that what 533 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: we need to tell them? Just they just need to 534 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: buy it all over like you gotta buy it from 535 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: a lot of places, multiple copies all up weather be 536 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: asking if you got saying Amazon if you have, but 537 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: if you have the option of buying it at a bookstore, 538 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: do that. No, We're we're gonna we got it all. 539 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: The problem is that that the enthusiasm for the book. 540 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: Do you remember we did an episode of the podcast 541 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: called Begging and Pleading. It was like, basically, we just 542 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: told everyone's in the book. I think that to walk 543 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: through this new book's gonna take it's gonna be begging 544 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: and pleading part to A and B. Yep, you see 545 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And we're gonna spend two episodes walking 546 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: through the book. Everybody's got a order of the book, 547 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: Just prepare yourself. I don't think it's going to be 548 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: expensive per page. It's gonna be like barely that much 549 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: money per page. You're right, But I tell you what, 550 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: this is gonna be an expensive podcast the viewers because 551 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: of all this stuff they gotta do. Yeah, yeah, we're 552 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: not done. We're not done. You're not done selling, not 553 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: even close. Okay, So we gotta move on towards sales park. 554 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: We gotta introduced Adam.

For residents of that state tattoo that 559 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: area code onto their arm, and then I wonder what 560 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: happens when they split the area code or where a 561 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: hat we had Actually that's for people who aren't very committed. 562 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: We did a serial number of a gun and auctioned 563 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: it off for I don't know what, fifteen grand or 564 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: some fourteen or fourteen or fifteen thousand bucks because it 565 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: was serio number three oh seven w y zero zero 566 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: zero three zero seven fifteen grand for it.

When I was a little boy, my 571 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: area code was six six. Now it's to three one 572 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 1: of what do I do with my tattoo?

Before that publication 652 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: was called Field and Stream, it was called Forest and 653 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: Stream was the predecessor to Field and Stream. And this 654 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: body of water, uh was actually adver tized as a 655 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: place for folks to get out of the city and 656 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: come up and fish in. Yeah, yeah, they so are 657 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,919 Speaker 1: you Is it secret or not secret? I don't want 658 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: to say that the actual township. Yeah, but this is 659 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: this should give plenty of idea, right like right now, 660 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: it's it's de facto public access it's in it's in Maine, 661 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: but it is private property. And what a lot of 662 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 1: folks don't realize about Maine is there is a ton 663 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: of access in the state, but it is primarily private 664 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: ground that just isn't posted. Don't you. I don't want 665 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 1: to get out ahead of ourselves here, but we're gonna 666 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: make a pledge to personally not ever go there to 667 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: fish or anything. Listen to this, because I don't want 668 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: anyone to think that it was that it was aish 669 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: Judy Fisher Hill. Yeah a little bit, you got it. Yeah, 670 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 1: he's just like taking it for he's taking it for 671 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: a test ride, man, and then don't go back. Uh 672 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: this camp that they had in their effishing their weekend 673 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: take was five hundred trout damn. Is it a property 674 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: that connects two more property? Yes, it does. It does 675 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 1: more access than just the property. It's it's a multi 676 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: year thing right now, it does, you know. But like 677 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: I said, there's with the the convoluted part of this 678 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 1: thing is uh there you know, there's groups working on 679 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: providing permanent access. Right now, there's access to that ground, 680 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: but it's not permanent. It's permanent in the fact that 681 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: the landowners that have it now, are its still have 682 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: the mindset that's been around Maine for a long long 683 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: time of I'm not using all this ground. I don't 684 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: need to post it. Folks want to occasionally walk through 685 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: here to deer hunt or pick mushrooms or whatever, that's 686 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: fine by me. Hunt grouse. We saw a ton of 687 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: a ton of grouse, ton of rough grouse. Um. And 688 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: uh yeah. But the hard part is is as these 689 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: lands change over right, there used to be like these 690 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: giant timber company lands up there. There still are some 691 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 1: major timber company lands. Um. That's really what people are 692 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: are doing a lot of hunting and fishing on. But 693 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: it's private, just like you guys experience here in western Montana. 694 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: There's kind of this de facto access program wiser lands 695 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: and yeah, and it's been around for so long people 696 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: are like, oh, that's just they don't even know what's 697 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: private property and they think it's us for a service 698 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: ground or something like that. Um, but it's like it 699 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: changes hands one more time and that new buyer is like, well, no, no, no, 700 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: I'm the privacy is what I want. Doesn't matter if 701 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm only there a weekend or whatever. So it's the 702 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: goal to get a chunk shaved off that will just 703 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: allow access to the public ground that's behind it. Uh. 704 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: The goal right now would be to you, uh, would 705 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: be to purchase this acreage that includes the pond um 706 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: that there's a defined easement in place right now, little 707 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: parking area, um footage, it's right now.

Even though like it's it's fully documented 712 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: that this township people growing up and living and raising 713 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: families there.

I mean 813 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: it's it's all you gotta depend on a supply chain 814 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: from around the world coming in and customers to ship too. 815 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: So every day there for a while it was a 816 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: little hectic trying to figure out what's going on. But 817 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 1: we're all healthy and we're making guns. Did you um, 818 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 1: did you guys run into problem uh, problems where components 819 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 1: you needed were coming from places that weren't able to 820 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 1: produce components. Yeah. The reason to bring this up is 821 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 1: that was at sports was warehouse. We're going fishing this 822 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: week up with the kids. I had to go grab 823 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: like you know, sinkers, bobbers, bait holder hooks, all that 824 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. The tends to get left and all 825 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: the trees around the intends get left push around um 826 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: to stripped clean. I mean the store is stripped clean. 827 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's a function of supply chain and demand, 828 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 1: you know, to it's it's really both. I mean in 829 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,359 Speaker 1: firearms right now, obviously everybody's been kind of reading there's 830 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 1: crazy things going on. Are are our product line because 831 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,760 Speaker 1: we're kind of more of a you know, primarily hunting, 832 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 1: you know, less self defense and that sort of thing. 833 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: So we didn't see the spike. Everybody else same with 834 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 1: just the sustenance and going out there and harveston mile 835 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: meat and catch the mole fish and just getting outdoors. 836 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: Finally too, I think there's a delay on that and 837 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: people have been a little trapped. And but the supply 838 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 1: chain was certainly there. I mean, we have a lot 839 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 1: of components. Say go into one rifle and so I 840 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 1: mean one spring can hold up a whole rifle from 841 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: going out the door. But you didn't run into that. 842 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,720 Speaker 1: We ran into not not bad, We ran into some stuff. 843 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:43,720 Speaker 1: We were kind of fortunate and yeah, maybe not even weeks. 844 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: But we were fortunate. Some of the bumps we had 845 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: were the things we already had product of, and the 846 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,280 Speaker 1: things we needed we kind of had, so we're just yeah, 847 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really appreciate the lengths of where that of 848 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 1: how that stuff would affect manufacturing. But I was even 849 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: trying to find a part for jet foot on an 850 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 1: outboard engine, and well, I call this guy and he's like, man, 851 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 1: you and everybody in the country. I'm like, how many 852 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,760 Speaker 1: people are actually looking for like an impellers sleep because 853 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: they're all gone. There's like one guy in California that 854 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: makes him he can't go into his plant because there 855 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 1: are none. If you find one. Let me know. The 856 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: weird demand and the supply chain stuff, and I mean, 857 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,840 Speaker 1: it's it's weird. And of course we you know, shipped 858 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 1: a gun dealers around the country and everybody with FFLs, 859 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, man, we had a COVID hold list 860 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: of just different states and different things and who you 861 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: could chip two and who you couldn't lose. Definitely nuts 862 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: For a while, some of our distributors had some of 863 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 1: their best days in history, like ten of them in 864 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 1: a row, and so they're telling us, hey, pause for 865 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: a minute on some of the hunting stuff because we 866 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 1: gotta get nine mill and two to three m O 867 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 1: up in. Yeah. Yeah, but that's probably cool. I don't know, 868 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: maybe that's cool off a little bit. Now we're in 869 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 1: riot season. Yeah, I still think it's pretty Yeah, it 870 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: actually upticked again now with all the violence in the 871 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 1: country and stuff, so it's everybody's scared. Yeah, So it's 872 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen fear bind over the years, politically 873 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 1: driven a lot or unfortunately, say after you know, some 874 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: sort of tragedy in the country, some guys come out 875 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,479 Speaker 1: say we're gonna, you know, pull an out more fund 876 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: on you and you know that sort of thing, and 877 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 1: you know, take your guns, and it spikes and for 878 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: us in our line, like people like, wow, he must 879 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 1: be selling a lot of guns right now. We're again 880 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: we try to make just a good quality product for 881 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: you to go taking the outdoors. It's not as much 882 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: that fear buying stuff, but it affects the whole industry. 883 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 1: So the demand is different, what dealers stock is different, 884 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: what they have, what they don't have, where their attention is, 885 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: so the whole thing kind of affects. It's a kind 886 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: of a giant you know pool that everything kind of 887 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: gets mixed up in. But for us, we just like stable, 888 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: like this is what our customers want, we want to 889 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: make it, we want to get it to them. So 890 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 1: it's a it's a little different rather than the because 891 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,799 Speaker 1: after a big high, you get a big lower because 892 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 1: then you get everything overstocked. Everybody discounts it, rebates it, 893 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: and so it's a little messy. So we just try 894 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: to provide more consistency. We were I can't remember who 895 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: else taking the other day, we were visiting about the 896 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:14,320 Speaker 1: the um, either the real or perceived twenty two ammo 897 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,440 Speaker 1: scare of what the hell here was that? But the 898 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: thing is like it feeds on itself because I never 899 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: thought anything about twenty two shells. I mean, I always 900 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: if I need twos, i'd go and buy like one 901 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,399 Speaker 1: of those slidey c C I whatever, like, hey, there's 902 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: twenty two shows. But the minute I heard it was 903 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: the shortest twenty two shells that walk into a store 904 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: and I see twenty two shells and I'd buy them all. 905 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 1: Or you see, like there's a limit of a limit 906 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: of one thousand, twenty two shells, and I'd be like well, 907 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 1: I'll be damn if I'm not buying a thousand even 908 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 1: though I need zero. That's right. And I even saw, 909 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 1: like during that shortage, it was that I was in 910 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 1: a Cabela's one time. You couldn't buy twenty two am 911 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: if you didn't get a Cabella's credit card. To get AMMO. 912 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 1: You had sign up for a credit card I remember 913 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 1: you had. If you you can only get it if 914 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: you bought a gun. Like I remember I would walk 915 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 1: into Best Pro Shop and you could buy a twenty 916 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,799 Speaker 1: two rifle and you only got the twenty two AMO 917 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: if you bought that rifle. Little combos like that flying 918 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: all over the place. And then there's articles being written 919 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: where people thought that there's all these conspiracy theories, but 920 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 1: it was basically in the end, it seems like the 921 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: main argument is UH, people to manufacture ammunition, tool up 922 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 1: to manufacture certain kinds of ammunition, and then they tool 923 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: up and do other runs, and they were just busy 924 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: doing not two. It is true making AMMO, you gotta 925 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 1: do big, big runs of certain things. There's really long 926 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: lead times, like making brass you know doesn't happen overnight, 927 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 1: and you know, getting powder there can be powder shortages 928 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: to the different things. So it is true, like you 929 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: can't just flip a switch, you know, and do that. 930 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 1: Like it's months of planning in advance for that. Yeah, 931 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: so two shells and now uh and masks. Yeah, thing like, 932 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 1: because I'm not loading my own AMMO anymore? Can I 933 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: like collect all my weather be brass and just send 934 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 1: it to an address and you guys will take it 935 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: back and make it into come down with the pocketful 936 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 1: will help you out? Or like for Federal ammo, can 937 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: you have all that brass and just chip it off 938 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,919 Speaker 1: to Federal just as like a recycling program. What happens 939 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: if you mail it back to him? Yeah, we actually 940 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 1: sell our once fired brass that we use in our 941 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 1: testing brass. Yeah, as we go through it, we repackage 942 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: it into over packaging and we sell it because it's 943 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: you sell it as brass online. We'll just go, okay, 944 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: we got a bunch of it from our ranges and 945 00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,040 Speaker 1: then just put it on like a day later. It's 946 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: just gone going and eat it up. Like is it 947 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: like a like a mixed platter, like a chef's platter. 948 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 1: You don't really just sweep up the floor into a 949 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: garbage bag instead. They're not making jewelry out of the stuff, 950 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 1: so they don't have a spent primer. So you gotta 951 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: get the primer out on your own and if you 952 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 1: want to tumble it, whatever you want to do. The 953 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: guys that want it, you just count and you sell it. 954 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 1: You just sell it as doom people a favorite. It's 955 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 1: not like a lot of money. It's better than us 956 00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: just recycling it, because that'd be the next best things. 957 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: We can't sell it as new ammo if if it's 958 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,120 Speaker 1: already been shot, because it's you know, the annealing lines 959 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit different and it's gonna 960 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 1: look a little more dull, So we don't it's not 961 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: worth the time to retumble and reanneal and do all 962 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 1: that stuff. So you guys had some really nice brass. Yeah, 963 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 1: well thank you, honest nice brass. The how many times 964 00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 1: can you read the lood a shell? Oh, it's depends 965 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: on the brass, and it depends on the cartridge. It does, 966 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 1: so anywhere give me a more satisfying answer. That's a 967 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 1: rabbit hole. Five. Yeah, the comments will fly in. Well 968 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: I've done don't know. Yeah, I mean there you'll find 969 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 1: people that will say they'll only load it three times, 970 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: and then you'll have people that depending on the load 971 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 1: that they make, that they've developed, that they've shot for years, 972 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: they might load it five times. The risk being that 973 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: something eventually weakens. Yeah, but you find that in the loading, 974 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,920 Speaker 1: not in the shooting. So your neck, you know, as 975 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: you're resizing, it's going to begin to have problems that So. Yeah, 976 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 1: so it's not the integrity of it necessarily, you know 977 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: when you're firing it, but you can tell when it's 978 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, the neck might start to crack. Um, you 979 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: know a different things as you're doing it sort of 980 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,240 Speaker 1: just weaken. Now you generally see it before you pull 981 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 1: the trigger. You know it was played out. And uh, 982 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,439 Speaker 1: but you when you sell ammy, you don't sell one. 983 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: People aren't into that. What all of our m o's 984 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: never been fired, I mean on the on the case itself. 985 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,880 Speaker 1: So and then when we're doing our testing or load 986 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 1: development or whatever, we've got to just piles and piles 987 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: of brass. So we'll just sell that as once fired 988 01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 1: brass after we shoot it. How many times do you um, 989 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: does every rifle get shot? Good question, Yes, every rifle 990 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 1: actually gets a proof load. Through it. Okay, so not everyone, 991 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, we still thousands against Um, I'm not personally 992 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 1: going down Everybody thinks my grandpa, did I know that 993 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 1: I go down there personally shoot a target and send 994 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: it off to everybody. But um, obviously we we a 995 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 1: lot test for accuracy, and do I mean we accuracy 996 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 1: test with you know, two underground ranges. You guys have 997 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: seen it, and we do accuracy testing every single day. Um. 998 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: So whether that's we got a new barrel, whether that's 999 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 1: we got a new cartridge, a different load, a different 1000 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: type of prowder powder, a different lot of you know, 1001 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 1: certain bullets, a different lot of brass, I mean everything. 1002 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: You a different contour barrel, different type of steel in 1003 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 1: the barrel, a different type of carbon fiber. But all 1004 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 1: those things are going to affect the accuracy betting. So 1005 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 1: all of those things send us down to the range. 1006 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,439 Speaker 1: Every gun, every rifle is actually shot with a proof load, 1007 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,919 Speaker 1: and that proofload is actually loaded hotter, so like it's 1008 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 1: we actually there. The loads are colored so you know that, um, 1009 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,760 Speaker 1: they're beyond you know usually say a load depending upon 1010 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 1: the cartridges in the low sixty thousand something p s. 1011 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 1: I So obviously we're that's what's going on inside the chamber, correct, 1012 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 1: So you know, we're delivering a product every day to 1013 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 1: customers that are putting you know, sixty plus ps I 1014 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: within inches somebody's face. That's what's your tire on your truck. 1015 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 1: So it's like it's obviously something you're not underneath truck. 1016 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 1: You're putting it foot and a half away from your 1017 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: kid's head, you know. So it's it's crazy stuff. So 1018 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 1: obviously the development our action is really important there so 1019 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that we and tell the integrity of it. So every 1020 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 1: rifle that we produce has a proofload through it and 1021 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: in depending on that load, who makes those proofloads either, 1022 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: it depends, like the Ammo companies actually do so different 1023 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Ammo companies do. We make some, but then we'll get them, 1024 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, you can buy them through. I mean, you 1025 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,040 Speaker 1: name an Ammo company, you know they're gonna probably have 1026 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 1: a proofload department. Oh, I don't know about that. I 1027 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: don't think so, I don't know, because what it is 1028 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 1: is you're giving it. So if it's let's say normally 1029 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 1: you're sid max p S. I getting technical here. I 1030 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 1: know you do that on your podcast from time to time. 1031 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 1: But the Sammy speck kind of the governing regular governing agency. 1032 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: If you would of those safety type of things for firearms, 1033 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,479 Speaker 1: let's say it's sixty that proofload could be eighty five 1034 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 1: p s I. So if a guy goes in hand loads, 1035 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 1: not that we've ever had any customers put the wrong powder, 1036 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 1: say in the cartridge before ever the wildcat. No. No, 1037 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: we have a customer service department for a reason, but 1038 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. But so we actually put 1039 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 1: that so it's hot in there. So if for some 1040 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: reason all the things went wrong, uh, customer handload, put 1041 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,680 Speaker 1: different pattern, all those things that we know that the 1042 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: structural integrity of that action is going to hold up 1043 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: with a proofload in there. UM. So every rifle has 1044 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: a proofload that goes through it. Uh. And then uh, yeah, 1045 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: we have like a it's a proofload uh fixture trap. 1046 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,439 Speaker 1: So it's not like you're scoping that up and going 1047 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 1: down to the range because you're not doing anything for accuracy. 1048 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 1: When you're doing you want to make sure it functions. 1049 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,120 Speaker 1: So we actually have a fixture that we put it in, 1050 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: UM and it goes into that fixture and it's in 1051 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: a room about the size of this podcast room, and uh, 1052 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 1: there's a there's a blast shield that comes over it. 1053 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 1: So any and it's triggered remotely if you do have 1054 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 1: some kind of thing, right, we do value the lives 1055 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: and health of our employees, so so it goes in, 1056 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 1: so it goes into this trap you know, kind of 1057 01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: in the room. So it's just a safety type of 1058 01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,280 Speaker 1: thing that happens with it. Um and then the accuracy 1059 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,160 Speaker 1: happens on a frequent basis. But not everyone you know, 1060 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: is shot and that depends we have a range certified 1061 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 1: type of thing or you know, custom guns are a 1062 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 1: different story. But yeah, and then so the reason that's 1063 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 1: great to know, I don't know all that, but the 1064 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,560 Speaker 1: reason was asking is too much info? Do you know? 1065 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Not at all? But do you then go clean it 1066 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: so someone doesn't buy it and it looks like it's 1067 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: been shot. Do people look and they want to look 1068 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,360 Speaker 1: like I've been shot? Well, there's an actual process and 1069 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: then you know, plus there's a break in procedure that 1070 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 1: we recommend for our rifles as well, So you know 1071 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,280 Speaker 1: that somebody's gonna do um, you know, upon getting their rifles. 1072 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 1: So they're gonna you know, get it and do a 1073 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:37,960 Speaker 1: bunch of break in, So usually you want it to 1074 01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 1: dirty up just a bit. How real is the break 1075 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 1: in process in your mind? So I feel like it's 1076 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,479 Speaker 1: like a thing that a lot of people just ignore. Yeah, 1077 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: So we actually just did our weather be podcast. We 1078 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: did a full episode on break in because it's one 1079 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of the most asked questions we get. Meaning they phrase 1080 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:58,400 Speaker 1: it like, do I really have take the time to 1081 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: do forty rounds of whether be munition down the pipe? 1082 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:02,880 Speaker 1: Does it help? Does it not? I still can't get 1083 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: to shoot. So we actually, um, we actually just updated 1084 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 1: our breaking process about a month ago. Our engineers have 1085 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 1: actually been doing a lot of a lot of testing 1086 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 1: on that recently to really see and and to be honest, 1087 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:21,640 Speaker 1: it does help. And it's fling and cleaning. So you 1088 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: have the you know, the rifling process of that barrel. 1089 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 1: Accuracy is so dependent upon barrel quality inconsistency, and so 1090 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 1: you have a chunk of steel that you've really put 1091 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot of stress into. So you've drilled it, you've 1092 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 1: reamed it, you've rifled it, honed it, you know, done 1093 01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,400 Speaker 1: all these different things, lapped it to the inside of 1094 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: that barrel, and so a lot of it, you know, 1095 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: as that bullet catches the rifling inside of there and 1096 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 1: those lands and grooves and as it travels through there. Um. 1097 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 1: Really what you're doing is is breaking in the inside 1098 01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 1: of that bore um in essence, so that as it 1099 01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,600 Speaker 1: goes through there's consistency um as it does that. Obviously, 1100 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 1: it's not like we send it out with birds. I mean, 1101 01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 1: all those things are checked. But really, when you're firing, 1102 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: you're truly breaking that in I guess you know, but 1103 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: you're you're, in some minor way changing the inside of 1104 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: it until it gets like to a state of bullets 1105 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: going through that thing so fast that it's that it 1106 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: is changing it a little bit at a time. And 1107 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 1: so when you send three bullets down it, you know 1108 01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 1: are breaking procedures. Three shots clean it, three shots clean it. 1109 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: Which asked me, if I ever do that? Yeah, so 1110 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: that's it's a loaded question. Anyways, it's a loaded question, Tea. 1111 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of people that won't adhere to 1112 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 1: it and probably are just fine. And then you've got 1113 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people that buy a weather be rifle 1114 01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 1: that's a quality item and they follow the procedure, and 1115 01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 1: that's good. It's good either way. But as we've seen 1116 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: testing in the recent months, uh and as we look 1117 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 1: at it on data from the engineers. I personally do 1118 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: think it matters. We got graphs and I mean, so 1119 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,920 Speaker 1: we've done all that and it does matter. I have 1120 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 1: picked vanguards out of a box in a three hundred 1121 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: weather being just gone down to the range and shot 1122 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 1: subb half minute, you know of angle groups, I mean, 1123 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 1: just just right out of the box. There's there's so 1124 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 1: much of a variance to even from barrel to barrel 1125 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,280 Speaker 1: of the same factory, bullet to bullet, and that's what's crazy, 1126 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 1: and it's hard, and it blows engineers minds a little 1127 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 1: bit because they don't like it. They like to say, 1128 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: here's a formula and this works. And there are certain 1129 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: things obviously to make an accurate rifle, like inherently accurate. 1130 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 1: But it's amazing the variation that you will get in 1131 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,880 Speaker 1: anybody's rifles from gun to gun bullet, you know what 1132 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 1: loads it might like. You might have a you know, 1133 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 1: a six weather be I have a six factory in 1134 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,719 Speaker 1: a wather the same model, and yours likes a different 1135 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,479 Speaker 1: bullet than mine. It's crazy every time. It is probably 1136 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 1: because that that barrel is whatever is long, and there's 1137 01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: just differences in there. We need to come back to 1138 01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,639 Speaker 1: this when we talk about the next thing, because there's 1139 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,439 Speaker 1: a good tie in to the to the next thing 1140 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: and break in and what happens to a group on 1141 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 1: a personal collaboration type thing that we're gonna cal went 1142 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 1: out today and uh and shot a group and the 1143 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 1: first two was was actually we thought the second shot 1144 01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 1: missed the paper, but it was through his first same hole. Yeah, 1145 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: like Robin Hood, dude, he broke it in today and 1146 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 1: actually shot four and five, he shot five. One and 1147 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 1: two were in the same one and four and five 1148 01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: were in the same hole. Really, how far apart were 1149 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: one in two and four and five? And what happened 1150 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: to three? Well, three was solid question between their less 1151 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: than an inch and a half apart. Three was only 1152 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,240 Speaker 1: from one and two. Three was I would say point 1153 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 1: six point seven away from one and two. Four and 1154 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 1: five got a little bit high high or something group, 1155 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,120 Speaker 1: But real quick the breaking period before we leave leave 1156 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 1: that basically forty rounds at shots at a time, and no, 1157 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,680 Speaker 1: not forty So you said forty I think something said 1158 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: give us the summary. A one is there's a lot 1159 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,559 Speaker 1: of information on weatherby dot com. But um uh you can. 1160 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: We suggest now one box of AMMO. And we did 1161 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 1: this strategically because it's difficult. We don't want people to 1162 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: have to buy more AMMO than they need to use. 1163 01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 1: Because amo in in today's time, even if you're shooting 1164 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 1: six five creed more is fairly expensive, even compared to 1165 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 1: any magnum load you're looking at. AMMO prices have just 1166 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,880 Speaker 1: gone up in general. But um we suggest a one 1167 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,800 Speaker 1: box break in. We wanted to make it less than 1168 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: forty rounds, and with all the testing we've recently done, 1169 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: we felt confident in being able to change that break 1170 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,680 Speaker 1: in period to a one box um and so we 1171 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:42,760 Speaker 1: suggest doing it with two different loads because as Adam said, 1172 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 1: it might like a one thirty or it might like 1173 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 1: a one forty. And if you're gonna shoot it anyways, 1174 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 1: grain bullet. If you're gonna shoot it anyways and pick 1175 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the best bullet, you might as well figure out which 1176 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: one it is during break in. It also just helps 1177 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: with the fouling of the barrel. So we suggest a 1178 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 1: one box break in. It's generally I believe three shots clean, 1179 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 1: three shots clean, resting in the middle because of the 1180 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,679 Speaker 1: heat of the barrel. You want it to cool um 1181 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 1: and in the middle of that you'll know a lot 1182 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 1: about your rifle. By the end of the break in, 1183 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,519 Speaker 1: do you got to clean that rifle or that barrel 1184 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 1: six or seven times during that session? And when you 1185 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 1: say clean it, you're talking like, so this is the 1186 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 1: other side of your conversation, is that that's also very 1187 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,040 Speaker 1: much so up to the shooter. Uh. Some people might 1188 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,960 Speaker 1: use hoppies or hops, whichever way you want to say it, 1189 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 1: or two brands. I don't understand. It's just number three. 1190 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,400 Speaker 1: So no, is there any arguments you made for the 1191 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 1: it not not being hoppies? I I just hear I 1192 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,720 Speaker 1: hear different all the time. There's there's a number of 1193 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,040 Speaker 1: board cleaners that work. I think the key is that 1194 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: you get it wet, you clean it, and then you 1195 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 1: patch it till it's dry. I'll tell you what, I 1196 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: got a bottle of it. Man, It's like it feels 1197 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 1: like like you could get real high off it. What 1198 01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 1: the sweet seven point six to You got to be 1199 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,280 Speaker 1: careful with that stuff. That stuff is heavy duty. Well 1200 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 1: it's it's like but it's a it's for getting copper out. 1201 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 1: I get yeah, and you can get copper. Another subject 1202 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:14,920 Speaker 1: I bought full on head deal. You know what I'm 1203 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 1: trying to say, respirator, respirator just for cleaning in general. 1204 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: I got I got for gun cleaning. I got to 1205 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,679 Speaker 1: be like, I don't know, man, you just in there 1206 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: and it's you know, really, Stephen Ronnella, that ain't gonna 1207 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 1: be what kills you is respirator. He and Brody just 1208 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 1: got done with the best book ever. He just doesn't 1209 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 1: want to lose any of that good stuff. Yes, Steven Ronell, 1210 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,880 Speaker 1: that ain't gonna be what kills you. Roannella, Uh, that'll 1211 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: give you a bad headache. That's what I found. I 1212 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 1: found that I felt that, um it was subtle, but 1213 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 1: I felt that my when I'm certain solvents, I felt 1214 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 1: I would I was getting a little like a little buzz. 1215 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: No once by the time I muld have been like 1216 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 1: to go out and smell my solvents, but not at 1217 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,000 Speaker 1: this At this point in my life, I don't need 1218 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,680 Speaker 1: any I mean, maybe I'll have uch a lot of 1219 01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:16,160 Speaker 1: but I definitely don't need like chemical buzz. Yeah. So, yeah, 1220 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot o data in our data. Around round twelve, 1221 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:27,160 Speaker 1: it was consistently when you would start to see um 1222 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 1: improved group flattening out? Yeah, no, kidding. Cool. And when 1223 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: you guys are cleaning them, are you cleaning them cleaning 1224 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: them bristles and wire brushes? Yeah, But if it's a protocol, 1225 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 1: if if you're suggesting something, we don't don't they have 1226 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 1: a protocol. You were not talking against ms nor engineers. 1227 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: They're down in the basement and they have a very 1228 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 1: tight protocol. We don't know that protocol. That protocol, Kett 1229 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: saying that phone grew right back, texting just fine over here, 1230 01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,640 Speaker 1: does your phone recognize the growing back thumb because it 1231 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: was before it was before the well, I'll tell you, 1232 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 1: I froze my thumb this winner and and uh my 1233 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:14,479 Speaker 1: phone wouldn't recognize my frozen thumb.

I was looking at that. 1239 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 1: I was looking at that. Go go to weather dot 1240 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 1: com and check out the barrel break in person. You're 1241 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: also gonna tell about something.

No, you got it wrong. We we 1246 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:11,679 Speaker 1: we batted around because listen, it was the Metator Fishing 1247 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,040 Speaker 1: Game Cookbook. So we thought there was a minute where 1248 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: we're almost going to change tack and call it meat 1249 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Eaters the like Meat Eaters Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival. 1250 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,720 Speaker 1: But then in the end went with the meat Eater 1251 01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:38,080 Speaker 1: Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival have been apostrophe as 1252 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 1: or as apostrophe. Good question. You didn't get apostrophe. And 1253 01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: my my beloved agent Mark I thought that, um for 1254 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 1: like when people are searching stuff, He said, you don't. 1255 01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 1: You don't change stuff like that, man like searchability on books, 1256 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, like when people you want everything to be consistent. 1257 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 1: So that's what it is. It's a sweet cover at all. Anyway, 1258 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 1: that's only a small portion of your piggy banks and quarters. Yeah, 1259 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,720 Speaker 1: that's a bank. Then you got bank for buying up 1260 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 1: all Cal's ranch land and ponds and whatnot.

Why should 1299 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: you buy this thing? Yeah? Like, here's my like a 1300 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 1: value proposition. If you were to make a line, a 1301 01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 1: line representing like like, um, quality and a line representing 1302 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:10,240 Speaker 1: um being like, what's the word I'm looking for, economically responsible, 1303 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 1: what's a better term for that? This is where those 1304 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,559 Speaker 1: lines like listening to your wife about buying no, like, 1305 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:24,240 Speaker 1: no thing is gonna do this better than that. That's 1306 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: what I think we tried to do in this rifle. 1307 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean it is another way of saying, is you 1308 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 1: get a little bang for your buck. Yeah, that's that's yeah, 1309 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 1: in terms of bang for your buck for like a 1310 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,720 Speaker 1: a thousand dollars. You know, it's not thousand dollars a 1311 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: thousand dollar rifle that's like custom rifle features just cool looking, 1312 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 1: good shooting, available in multiple cartridges. It's just that you're 1313 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 1: not gonna like you are, am I allowed to say 1314 01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,000 Speaker 1: this kind You're not not gonna do better? That's this 1315 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,680 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah, I think 1316 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:06,760 Speaker 1: it is that it is that value and in that 1317 01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,559 Speaker 1: sweet spot less than a thousand I mean will be 1318 01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 1: on the sportsman's warehouse shelf. You know, you can go 1319 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: pick it up. And one of the things I think 1320 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,719 Speaker 1: that's really cool about it is it looks real different. 1321 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 1: And I think Steve, that's one thing you guys shared 1322 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 1: with us initially is like, what's something we could do that. 1323 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 1: When you look at that, you go, that's the weather 1324 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:27,559 Speaker 1: be meat eat gun that meets something or other. Uh No, 1325 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,599 Speaker 1: but you know that's that meat eater rifle that's there, 1326 01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,200 Speaker 1: and that's different. And so we uh, this is our 1327 01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,679 Speaker 1: first production rifle that we've ever done with a spiral 1328 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 1: fluted barrel. We've been fluting barrels probably since the nineties. Uh. 1329 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 1: Actually having it, which you know aids in heat dissipation, 1330 01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: primarily adds a little bit to the rigidity of the barrel, 1331 01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 1: but but really it helps it to cool more because 1332 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,679 Speaker 1: it gives it more surface area. But really we say 1333 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,200 Speaker 1: all that and that's cool, but people buy fluid barrels 1334 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 1: because they look cool and they look different, and that's 1335 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 1: the number one reason. And then this one has spiral 1336 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: old flutes which kind of make it even stand out more. 1337 01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:04,720 Speaker 1: And that was something when you guys like, what can 1338 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,599 Speaker 1: we do? We haven't done. You can tell you're walking 1339 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: down Sportsman's warehouse, Wow, that up to that glass case 1340 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 1: full of pistols and knives, and that you'll be able 1341 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 1: to tell from a long ways away we gotta meat 1342 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,360 Speaker 1: eater logoed floor plate on it on the bottom, so 1343 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 1: when it's sitting in the gun rack, you'll be able 1344 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 1: to see the cool meat Eater logo from behind the 1345 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 1: pistol counter as well. And those I think will be 1346 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 1: in the paint job because we did the Seraco with it, 1347 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,760 Speaker 1: tried to match Serco to the metalwork with our don't 1348 01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,479 Speaker 1: go light on Seraco because that's like, because there's nothing 1349 01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: more depressing. And I've had this hat to me. You 1350 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: buy a new rifle and just watching the thing rost man, 1351 01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 1: like if you go out, you know, and it's one 1352 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 1: trip to the old fish shack. Yeah, you go to 1353 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,760 Speaker 1: the fish shack and just watch your stuff. Ross is depressing. 1354 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,439 Speaker 1: It's hard and people, it's like at the end of 1355 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,559 Speaker 1: the day when you're back at camp or in your 1356 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,559 Speaker 1: tent or in your like, are you thinking, I really 1357 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: gotta wipe down every piece of that gun that got 1358 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,800 Speaker 1: wet today, Like you're not. And so it is good 1359 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 1: to have the corrosion resistance of the seracode on there. 1360 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 1: So the whole action's got tungsten Saraco finish on all metalwork. Right, 1361 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: that's the color of it's dull, which in a lot 1362 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,080 Speaker 1: of circles you think, well, doll is not good. But 1363 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Chuck Hawks said that, you know, the high polish what 1364 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:23,080 Speaker 1: do you call high polish? Blue Steve blue blue barrel. 1365 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,600 Speaker 1: He's like, you don't know how many animals lives have 1366 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 1: been saved by those pretty rifle barrels. Right, so it's 1367 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,639 Speaker 1: nice to have a nice dull Loki. There's no shine 1368 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 1: gonna be coming off that spiral fluting. What was the 1369 01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 1: Chuck Hawks Uh? What was the Chuck Hawks quote We 1370 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,639 Speaker 1: put into one of the and one of the guide books. 1371 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 1: It was about twenty two. No, we had too because 1372 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,839 Speaker 1: he had one quote about his um, his his dislike 1373 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 1: of gun writers. Oh yeah, you know he is a 1374 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 1: gun right, yeah, but I think you chose to put 1375 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 1: in Chuck's Hawks Chuck Hawks quote about gun writers. Yeah, 1376 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: that's in there, but also is twenty two his thing 1377 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: about like how much he likes in there anyhow? Um. 1378 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: And then custom pain job on the stock to match 1379 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:10,600 Speaker 1: that Tungusen serica. We got a really talented paint team 1380 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,680 Speaker 1: and shared in Wyoming, and every stock fampainted. It's got 1381 01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,479 Speaker 1: three ways. It's got three way safety explained, like explained 1382 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 1: you like the three position statemen. Weird. I love it. 1383 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: We're hunting Wyoming last year and you remember talking about that. 1384 01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: I think you like it well. I like it because 1385 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: it allows you to open you know, it allows you 1386 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: to open your bolt without need to put the gun 1387 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,880 Speaker 1: on fire. It seems safe, which for I feel for 1388 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 1: people who just are getting familiar with firearms, it's a 1389 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,720 Speaker 1: nice feature. Is to piggyback on that. I think it's 1390 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 1: very nice for the mentor who was next to the 1391 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,479 Speaker 1: person who's getting used to firearms to have that visual 1392 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just another thing like when you're 1393 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 1: next to somebody you're spotting, there's that animal on the 1394 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,080 Speaker 1: hillside first and on whatever. Um, it's a very easy 1395 01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,679 Speaker 1: visual check to see exactly what's going on and sometimes 1396 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,680 Speaker 1: what the problem is. Safety still on, he's got to 1397 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,720 Speaker 1: go all the way forward. Yeah, that's that's my thing 1398 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 1: with it is. I think with with someone who, you know, 1399 01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: a more experienced shooter, it's never gonna be a bad 1400 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,680 Speaker 1: thing to have it. But a more experienced shooter just 1401 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 1: like much more aware. You know, you're more aware of 1402 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:28,640 Speaker 1: muzzle control, right. But when it with people that, um, 1403 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,640 Speaker 1: there's no downside to it. But people who don't have 1404 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 1: that that level familiarity. I think it's just like another thing, 1405 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: and it reduces the confusion of when you go to 1406 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 1: open your bolt and then you confuse like do I 1407 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:43,680 Speaker 1: put it on fire to open the bolt? Is that right? 1408 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,160 Speaker 1: And you know it just lets you do that. So, 1409 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:48,519 Speaker 1: so our three position safety, all the way back or 1410 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,839 Speaker 1: away from the muzzle is on safe, which you cannot 1411 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 1: operate the trigger and you cannot lift the bolt. In 1412 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 1: the middle position, you can open the bolt, but the 1413 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: trigger is defeated. And then a third position or all 1414 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,439 Speaker 1: the way forward towards the muzzle, guns blazing ready to fire. Yeah, 1415 01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: straight up in the air is the middle I like, 1416 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: I think it's good? Is it? What are the cons? 1417 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,680 Speaker 1: I don't know other cons. The only potential con is 1418 01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 1: if you're all the way back on safe and you 1419 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 1: only click forward once trigger doesn't go. But it's also 1420 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 1: the benefit to the benefit to that is to teach 1421 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,479 Speaker 1: people trigger control, because you see new shooters they'll go 1422 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,479 Speaker 1: from safe to the middle position and then they're getting 1423 01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 1: ready to shoot, they pull it and then they just 1424 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: they wiggle the gun or they jerked so hard and 1425 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,040 Speaker 1: you're like, don't do that. You you would know you 1426 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't hit anything with that. So it's a good training 1427 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 1: tool as well. Yeah, I like it. But I've been 1428 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,360 Speaker 1: talking a lot. I have a ten year old and 1429 01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:49,759 Speaker 1: he likes to know. He's getting real excited about shooting 1430 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,880 Speaker 1: and very infatuated with all kinds of you know, any 1431 01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 1: kind of firearm ballistics conversation. Anyways, he's got a break 1432 01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,439 Speaker 1: open four ten is a good training thing and the 1433 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,400 Speaker 1: thing that, like, to Cal's point, but when you look 1434 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 1: at what you see, I like because I can just 1435 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:07,280 Speaker 1: look and I know what's going on, right, I know, 1436 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,519 Speaker 1: like open that thing up and it just it just 1437 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,000 Speaker 1: takes it takes my stress away. Sure, now that it's 1438 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 1: a parallel, but I mean, you know, it's just like 1439 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 1: when you're with people, I think it's it's something to 1440 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 1: think about and later when they get super familiar and 1441 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,719 Speaker 1: then then uh, it's not as big of an issue. 1442 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: But at first it's like there's a little bit of 1443 01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 1: a redundancy and safety features that. Another thing to bring 1444 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,920 Speaker 1: up is the threaded barrel. Oh yeah, another major The 1445 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 1: way I like to pitch this is we've done a 1446 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:41,559 Speaker 1: lot of the customization for you. Yeah, like there's very 1447 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 1: strong uh that very strong things on on this, uh, 1448 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:53,679 Speaker 1: whether be Van Guard, Meata or super addition super that. Uh. 1449 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 1: You know, we've taken the liberty of of making, um, 1450 01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,760 Speaker 1: what would be customization options for you? Uh? And what 1451 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:05,120 Speaker 1: is the standard package? But you can further customize because 1452 01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 1: it's got a threaded barrel with a cap on it. 1453 01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:11,880 Speaker 1: That's how you'll get it when you buy it. But 1454 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,680 Speaker 1: you can also put a muzzle brake on there if 1455 01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 1: you unthread that cap or uh, if you had it 1456 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,600 Speaker 1: set up, you could put a can on there, a 1457 01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 1: suppressor on there. Um.

No? Man, it was like I want 1461 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 1: to say it was three hundred bucks.

They'll be at Sportsman's 1475 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 1: or or on Weathery dot com so you can get one. 1476 01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:27,400 Speaker 1: You can get that. I think what is the retail 1477 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:33,320 Speaker 1: on that, look sex seventies sixty or seventy bucks for 1478 01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:34,720 Speaker 1: a break. A lot of times you're paying well in 1479 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,479 Speaker 1: access a hundred and tried to keep that down too. 1480 01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,680 Speaker 1: So if you know we do have it in sick 1481 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,320 Speaker 1: carts or just some of those, you probably won't need 1482 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,280 Speaker 1: a break forward. Some of them you might want one 1483 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 1: for depending and the threat. That's the thing I don't 1484 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:48,800 Speaker 1: understanding about the suppressors is um, oh yeah, it's like 1485 01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:53,760 Speaker 1: a universal thread patterns. Yeah, because the one of the 1486 01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 1: ones I have, uh, you gotta get, you gotta get 1487 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 1: when you buy your suppress you gotta get a reducer. Yeah. 1488 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:05,320 Speaker 1: One of you guys explained it simply. Yeah, this mediator 1489 01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:09,920 Speaker 1: rifle is threaded half twenty eight, which is very common. 1490 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 1: The other common rifle is a five eights twenty four, 1491 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 1: which on the number three contour barrels is more popular. 1492 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 1: Larger barrel, it's larger, but if you take a number 1493 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,000 Speaker 1: three all the way down to a half twenty eight, 1494 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,880 Speaker 1: you're removing so much barrel it's unnecessary. So that's probably 1495 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 1: where you had a well, this thing, my my thing, 1496 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,599 Speaker 1: My suppressor came with a mountain of reducers, and then 1497 01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 1: I was just confused by that whole thing. Yeah. Actually, 1498 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 1: we just recently standardized to a half eight m on 1499 01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:42,320 Speaker 1: this like kind of this is more of a hunting 1500 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:44,720 Speaker 1: it's a number two contour, so it's it's not a 1501 01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,519 Speaker 1: big old barrel because we wanted the way of the 1502 01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:48,880 Speaker 1: rifle to be. You know, you can go down and 1503 01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 1: because cal you were just shooting. You just shut a 1504 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: couple hundred rounds or something, didn't you out of one 1505 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 1: and competition or something or yeah? Yeah, and yeah, I 1506 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,800 Speaker 1: was gonna say, yeah, you went to a shooting tournament, Yeah, 1507 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 1: the sniper challenge. Nope. Uh. You know, you know, learn 1508 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 1: a lot when you go out there. The shooting competitions 1509 01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 1: I've done up. Like I'm just trying very consciously keep 1510 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:22,040 Speaker 1: things in a hunting perspective because that's my goal is 1511 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 1: is to come away with good practical hunting practice. Um, 1512 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,160 Speaker 1: and you know, you're when you're shooting around, uh, these 1513 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,720 Speaker 1: people where this is really some of them it's their 1514 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,240 Speaker 1: job to shoot, and some of them that is that 1515 01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 1: is their sport, is shooting competitions. Um, you're seeing stuff 1516 01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,200 Speaker 1: that is not anything that you would see on a 1517 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:50,320 Speaker 1: mountain anywhere. Yeah. I mean they're twenty pound rifles out 1518 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 1: there probably. Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of 1519 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Um. And you know, and they're built specifically 1520 01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,200 Speaker 1: to shoot targets. It's nice about those things all. Uh, 1521 01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: those super heavy rigged up guns. When you touch them off, 1522 01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: the thing doesn't even move. Yes, And there's like watching 1523 01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:08,639 Speaker 1: like looking through the scope was like watching TV Man, 1524 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,759 Speaker 1: but you shoot like nothing happens, just everything just stays 1525 01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,120 Speaker 1: like perfectly fine through that scope. One of the guys 1526 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,960 Speaker 1: that we were shooting in a group with, he's like, man, 1527 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 1: you have got to get uh uh uh not a suppressor, 1528 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 1: the other thing muzzle break. And I was like, man, 1529 01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:31,840 Speaker 1: it's a six and a half creed more. I don't. 1530 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't need a muzzle break, he said, Nope, He's like, 1531 01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 1: the muzzle brake is so you can stay on target. 1532 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,720 Speaker 1: It's a big deal for them and watch your impacts 1533 01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 1: through your scope. Yes, you don't got to shoot at 1534 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,560 Speaker 1: some antelope off the distance, Like did I get it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1535 01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:53,000 Speaker 1: which I was like, okay, yes that makes some sense. 1536 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 1: But um, you know, the whole reason I have never 1537 01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:01,920 Speaker 1: shot with one is because I I don't like dirt 1538 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 1: and stuff getting in there in the fields and stuff. Uh. 1539 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:10,680 Speaker 1: We've shied away from filming because you can kind of 1540 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:14,439 Speaker 1: ring the bell of whoever if someone's you know, lying 1541 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 1: out next to you. And so I've even had guys 1542 01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:22,200 Speaker 1: get um, semi hostile let shooting at the range. People 1543 01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:23,360 Speaker 1: don't want to be next to the guy with the 1544 01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 1: muzzle break. And then I don't know if it's really yeah, 1545 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,360 Speaker 1: I guess it's It matters like for for filming where 1546 01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 1: you kind of have people who might be off to 1547 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,360 Speaker 1: your side and stuff. It just seemed like it definitely 1548 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:35,720 Speaker 1: hurts the person next to you more than what it 1549 01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 1: also does though, is it helps if somebody does have 1550 01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,000 Speaker 1: a problem with flinching especially if you have a larger 1551 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: you know, caliber or whatever. By having it, if you're 1552 01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: wearing hearing protection it sometimes you can get rid of 1553 01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 1: a flinch more if you I think if you give 1554 01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 1: a little too much requal a larger cartridge to be 1555 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:54,080 Speaker 1: either a newer shooter or maybe a child or something 1556 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 1: like that, they can develop a flinch because you're like, 1557 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,800 Speaker 1: just suck it up and shoot it, and they can 1558 01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,759 Speaker 1: develop some pretty bad flinches. So I think the muzzle 1559 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:01,880 Speaker 1: breaks sometimes it's helpful to give somebody something that's a 1560 01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 1: little tamer. But the hearing thing is definitely so one 1561 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:11,800 Speaker 1: thing on the breaking process. So the weather be Van 1562 01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 1: Guard Meat Eater super Special edition, um what it was 1563 01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 1: brand new. We went out to start getting prepared for 1564 01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:28,599 Speaker 1: the sniper challenge and Seth, well Seth Seth shot for 1565 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 1: me so I could go to Mayne and check out 1566 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:34,680 Speaker 1: that property on Sunday. Yeah. So he actually shot a 1567 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,000 Speaker 1: hundred and some rounds. I shot a hundred and some 1568 01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 1: round at the challenge. I don't know, probably about we 1569 01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:50,280 Speaker 1: were pretty even, um but he I think Seth said 1570 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:57,479 Speaker 1: he rang a target at eleven. Yeah. But so during 1571 01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 1: the break in process, I actually broke it. In with 1572 01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 1: the trophy copper, federal trophy copper. I was like, oh, 1573 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, a minute group. I was like, 1574 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: that's you know, good group. And then uh proceeded to 1575 01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 1: shoot a bunch of steel and was very impressed. And 1576 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 1: this was like taking a lot of time to shoot 1577 01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:27,000 Speaker 1: steal um, making sure everything was right. But where were 1578 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:30,920 Speaker 1: you doing all this out at the you'll see it tomorrow, 1579 01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 1: I think, but out at a friend's range that he 1580 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,160 Speaker 1: let us see and their steel everywhere, people going doing 1581 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,559 Speaker 1: stuff that I didn't get invited. Yeah, all the time 1582 01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,720 Speaker 1: man people, Oh yeah, we're all drinking, so I know 1583 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:51,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't go. But very impressed with the rifle. And 1584 01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: then um, you do finally got her target loads so 1585 01:34:56,960 --> 01:35:00,439 Speaker 1: we didn't have to shoot up all the trophy copper. Um. 1586 01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 1: I felt like the target loads weren't flying quite as 1587 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:04,920 Speaker 1: good out of the gun, and I cleaned it in 1588 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 1: between these so kind of had like an almost a 1589 01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 1: new breaking process with the with the target load. Um. 1590 01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 1: And then did you know, shot two hundred plus rounds 1591 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 1: out of that rifle just at the match. Geez, got 1592 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,679 Speaker 1: it clean the you know, a little due diligence cleaning 1593 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:30,599 Speaker 1: on it and then shot at today and went back 1594 01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:35,200 Speaker 1: to Trophy Copper. And that three shot group with the 1595 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:39,200 Speaker 1: Trophy Copper was I think a lot of those twenty 1596 01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:45,560 Speaker 1: pound rifles out of that match you'd be very pleased with. Yeah, 1597 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:48,720 Speaker 1: it was tight. Yeah, it was about a half inch 1598 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 1: a little over his group. And the funny thing was 1599 01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 1: though the first one he it'll turn it on top 1600 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:58,439 Speaker 1: and kind of forgot he'd been shooting. So he goes 1601 01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:00,120 Speaker 1: down to the target today at a hundred yard to 1602 01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:03,240 Speaker 1: them all, dude, you hit dirt like feet above that target. 1603 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,559 Speaker 1: I've been the spotting scope and he just goes through 1604 01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 1: and he's just spinning that turret like a top and 1605 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:16,720 Speaker 1: then it's sure enough, just drills the balls.

You know, is because you know 1619 01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,680 Speaker 1: they have you know, hundred five stores and know their 1620 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,720 Speaker 1: customers and in their areas and you know know what 1621 01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:11,640 Speaker 1: they like too. So I think between the three, you know, 1622 01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:13,879 Speaker 1: we were able to pick up on those six cartridges. 1623 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,880 Speaker 1: So it gives you a variety stuff short action long. 1624 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,840 Speaker 1: The real quick back to the break is there like 1625 01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:25,360 Speaker 1: an average percentage of reduced recoil and you throw it 1626 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,720 Speaker 1: when you put a brake on. It's no way, it's 1627 01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,880 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to measure because it's it's a perception 1628 01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:38,880 Speaker 1: and it's also count related. Wouldn't be that you put 1629 01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:41,360 Speaker 1: it against something that measures force and just do it 1630 01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 1: or not? Let us talk to your engineerings get some pillars. 1631 01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,720 Speaker 1: People do, but there's variations on how people you know, 1632 01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 1: even measure that. So well, I know that there's like 1633 01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 1: a significant I mean there's a significant recoil redaction with those. Yeah, 1634 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,559 Speaker 1: I know that different things recoil different way is for sure, 1635 01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:04,080 Speaker 1: like I had a um, what's the queens of the 1636 01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 1: planes rifles? Yet that recoil is tremendous, but spread out 1637 01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:15,280 Speaker 1: over such a long period of time. It's kind of 1638 01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:21,880 Speaker 1: like it's like a five minute long like then a 1639 01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 1: seven millimeter around mags like smack, And it's like the 1640 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:30,439 Speaker 1: fastest to the jaw man bullet, wait to seventy five 1641 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,840 Speaker 1: shooting a heavier bullet, so it's more of a push 1642 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:38,360 Speaker 1: against your shoulder. Yeah, it's under the giant like giving 1643 01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,519 Speaker 1: you a slow punch. It's very similar to three or weather. 1644 01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,760 Speaker 1: Be truthfully, three or weather people think, oh god, it's 1645 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:45,880 Speaker 1: gonna be horrible. It's it's It doesn't really bother me. 1646 01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:49,760 Speaker 1: I don't like the real poppy jaw busting ones that 1647 01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:51,880 Speaker 1: give you a headache. Yes, and those will more than 1648 01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:56,639 Speaker 1: likely be lighter grain bullets shooting fast because they're snappy, 1649 01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,320 Speaker 1: Like what's what's in your opinion, what's the what's the 1650 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:07,639 Speaker 1: worst free willing around? Oh no, actually and a small 1651 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 1: gun in a lightweight gun jumped out of your hands 1652 01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 1: and do flips right gun. But I've also there's the 1653 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,840 Speaker 1: three seventy eight weather be mag like our big old 1654 01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,960 Speaker 1: cartrires like African safari stuff, and that's the smack and 1655 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,479 Speaker 1: the wallup and Andre the giant like all mixed into. 1656 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I've shot I've shot a four sixty weather 1657 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 1: be mag with the five green bullet without a break 1658 01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:34,559 Speaker 1: once and it gives you just gotta do it. Actually, 1659 01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 1: you guys should just you guys should just do it. 1660 01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,719 Speaker 1: You just it's fun. Next time you guys are down, Definitely, 1661 01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,679 Speaker 1: you gotta shoot it once. Just it is so much force. 1662 01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:44,719 Speaker 1: You know what I shot one time, I can't remember. 1663 01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 1: It was one of those those like it was like sharps, 1664 01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:51,720 Speaker 1: like a replix sharps, so like they're not seventies when 1665 01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:56,720 Speaker 1: are they like a four sixteen Rigby or either way. 1666 01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,360 Speaker 1: I was in California. We're shooting this thing, okay, and 1667 01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,840 Speaker 1: it had one of the all those quickly down under 1668 01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:07,400 Speaker 1: sits should have been I'm not kidding. Yeah, he said that. 1669 01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 1: He was like, oh, yeah, you can see the bullet. 1670 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, you can't see the bullet. You can see 1671 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,200 Speaker 1: the bullet definitely if you're shooting out. He had a 1672 01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:16,920 Speaker 1: target like a couple hundred yards out and it's like 1673 01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:18,600 Speaker 1: there's no way. We were talking about you look like 1674 01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:20,640 Speaker 1: you catch a glimpse. It seemed like it was like 1675 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 1: halfway there and you catch a glimpse of the slug 1676 01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:27,160 Speaker 1: going through the air. Trying to pride ourselves. You can't 1677 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:33,200 Speaker 1: see our bullets, definitely can your billboard out there and 1678 01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:38,400 Speaker 1: shared and you can't see our bullets. Rio, Seve can't see. 1679 01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:42,320 Speaker 1: We're excited about the project though. With you guys, it's 1680 01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:44,600 Speaker 1: been it's been a fun collaboration. And I hope you 1681 01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:46,960 Speaker 1: know you're listeners watch or whatever you call the people 1682 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:49,200 Speaker 1: that are out there and the meat eater world is 1683 01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,640 Speaker 1: nad Yeah, all the knuckleheads listening. I think it's uh. 1684 01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:55,439 Speaker 1: I think, to be honest, I think it's there's gonna 1685 01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,720 Speaker 1: be some experience shooters nunners. They're like, Wow, this is 1686 01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:59,160 Speaker 1: a rifle that I really want to own. But I 1687 01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,599 Speaker 1: think it's also so then you could step into as 1688 01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:03,680 Speaker 1: more of a new or novice hunter into So I 1689 01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:06,760 Speaker 1: think it really I don't know. I think hopefully, you know, 1690 01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:08,840 Speaker 1: kind of captures the vast part of the audience in 1691 01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 1: that sense. Oh yeah, we get so many emails, people 1692 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 1: like lots of emails, and it's like a daily thing. 1693 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 1: Is people kind of trying to dig through the all 1694 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,240 Speaker 1: the rigmarole in language right there, like I want to 1695 01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:24,240 Speaker 1: get right ball away shot, hand me downs, go by, 1696 01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,760 Speaker 1: what should I get? Blah blah blah. It doesn't make sense. 1697 01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:31,280 Speaker 1: I get overwhelmed. And now I'd be like that, yeah, yeah, 1698 01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:34,519 Speaker 1: all ready for you. Yeah. And like Adam said, sports 1699 01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:36,960 Speaker 1: is Warehouse has it, but also weather we dot com. 1700 01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,479 Speaker 1: And just to review that process real quick, is that 1701 01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:40,840 Speaker 1: if you were to go to weather be dot com 1702 01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:42,760 Speaker 1: and select a rifle in the cartridge that you want, 1703 01:41:43,520 --> 01:41:45,840 Speaker 1: you would then select an FFL that we would ship 1704 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:47,840 Speaker 1: that rifle to. A lot of people don't realize we 1705 01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,560 Speaker 1: don't ship a rifle directly to your door. Can We 1706 01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,000 Speaker 1: cannot do that, So you have to select an FFL 1707 01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:55,840 Speaker 1: in your I don't actually care where it is, but 1708 01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:58,800 Speaker 1: p prefarably in your city. You would select that off 1709 01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:00,880 Speaker 1: of our website. We would then ship that rifle to 1710 01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,760 Speaker 1: that FFL, in which then you would go in and 1711 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:10,480 Speaker 1: complete the appropriate checks like thirty bucks right to do it, California, 1712 01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:16,519 Speaker 1: and the sportsman is gonna be stocking them heavy, So 1713 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:18,680 Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity to get in there, you know. 1714 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,960 Speaker 1: Shoulder and asked the guys behind the counter. We're gonna 1715 01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:22,760 Speaker 1: be working on training with them, and so I think 1716 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:24,519 Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have some associates. They're gonna be 1717 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,439 Speaker 1: excited about that. Again. I think it's gonna, you know, 1718 01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:30,920 Speaker 1: pop off that shelf. You know too. Hit a point 1719 01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,080 Speaker 1: that Kevin was making just so people understand, because I 1720 01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:35,960 Speaker 1: don't like the lingo of the FFL. So it's like federal, No, 1721 01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:37,760 Speaker 1: you don't need a great job. I feel like some 1722 01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:39,400 Speaker 1: people don't know where Tom Abo does you think all 1723 01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:44,639 Speaker 1: the federal firearm licensee. So what happens is, um, there's 1724 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:48,679 Speaker 1: there's a questionnaire and when you go to a firearm transfer, 1725 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,559 Speaker 1: you go down and fill out a very simple questionnaire 1726 01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:55,080 Speaker 1: and it covers like, um, if you have felony, felony 1727 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:59,800 Speaker 1: like any kind of restraining orders, dishonorable discharge, are you 1728 01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,240 Speaker 1: there's some recreational drugs, there's some kind of there's some 1729 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:05,400 Speaker 1: kind of question around I don't know how it's phrase, 1730 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:09,840 Speaker 1: but something citizenship. Have you ever renounced your US citizenship 1731 01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:11,680 Speaker 1: or something like that. And you can't just go down 1732 01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 1: the whole thing, go no no, no, no, no, no no, 1733 01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:15,320 Speaker 1: because they'll get you in the end. Yeah, the last 1734 01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 1: question is different. Remember no, no, no, no, no, of 1735 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,320 Speaker 1: course not and the and then that's all. That's what 1736 01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,439 Speaker 1: it asked. Like when people say, like going to my 1737 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:26,680 Speaker 1: FFL or doing to the FFL, that's what it is. 1738 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 1: You go down and give me driver's license, You fill 1739 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,560 Speaker 1: out this thing, they check, make sure you're cool, and 1740 01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:34,760 Speaker 1: in most cases most places, you you walk out. Most 1741 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,760 Speaker 1: places some some states do have a weight period, but 1742 01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,640 Speaker 1: most do not. So we'll take a little bit of 1743 01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,040 Speaker 1: time for them to run the check. So sometimes it 1744 01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:44,679 Speaker 1: will take a couple of minutes, I'll say, walk around 1745 01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 1: the store, and but like literally a couple of minutes. Yeah, 1746 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,120 Speaker 1: it's a the old phone end days are long gone, 1747 01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:56,160 Speaker 1: and said Nick's National Instant Criminal Check System something like that. 1748 01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:58,839 Speaker 1: And it's pretty fast. If you've got a real generic 1749 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:01,240 Speaker 1: last named Smith or Jones, it could take longer, but 1750 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:03,960 Speaker 1: for most people's But I did hear during the height 1751 01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:07,000 Speaker 1: of the COVID buying that they were a couple of hours. 1752 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:12,880 Speaker 1: They happen, especially the store is really busy and you've 1753 01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:14,280 Speaker 1: got a bunch of people with the gun counter, it 1754 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,880 Speaker 1: might it might take some time. But while you're down 1755 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,400 Speaker 1: there too at the store, I mean, usually you need accessories, 1756 01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,559 Speaker 1: whether that Biammo scopes, mounts, all that kind of stuff too. 1757 01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:25,760 Speaker 1: So it gets you, you know, get you in there 1758 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:28,679 Speaker 1: to see what else you're gonna need to go along 1759 01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:30,639 Speaker 1: with it. So there's one thing I want to comment 1760 01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:32,920 Speaker 1: on the rifle. If I can't, and then well, I 1761 01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:36,040 Speaker 1: think and and it depends on you know, listeners where 1762 01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:38,120 Speaker 1: they're at, and they're kind of technical knowledge of firems 1763 01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:41,519 Speaker 1: and things. But like I said earlier, probably accuracy is 1764 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:43,759 Speaker 1: depending upon a number of different things, and the barrel 1765 01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:46,240 Speaker 1: I believe being key to that. And one of the 1766 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,360 Speaker 1: things that Vanguard has and I think for that value 1767 01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:50,880 Speaker 1: is it's there you hear different ways of barrels are made, 1768 01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:52,880 Speaker 1: and that's probably other things thrown out and then everybody's like, 1769 01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,120 Speaker 1: what's all. I mean button rifle and the cut barrel 1770 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,160 Speaker 1: and the Vanguard rifles are hammered forged, and really what 1771 01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,240 Speaker 1: it is. It's talking about how the rifle ing is 1772 01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:01,960 Speaker 1: put in the barrel, because the first you just drill 1773 01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 1: a hole, right, but you've got to actually get that 1774 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:07,439 Speaker 1: rate of twist that's in there. The actual rifling and 1775 01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:11,120 Speaker 1: hammer forging and barrels has has been kind of for 1776 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,160 Speaker 1: a long time known as one of the one of 1777 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,760 Speaker 1: the premier ways to actually do a barrel. Uh, and 1778 01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:19,160 Speaker 1: that it's it's actually you know, literally pressed that it's 1779 01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, there's a huge trying to put it in. 1780 01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 1: Uh it is and it just goes E is doing 1781 01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:30,920 Speaker 1: this and it's actually then taking and putting the rifling 1782 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,680 Speaker 1: in there and doing so in a way that minimizes 1783 01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:36,360 Speaker 1: the stress to the barrel. Uh, so that it can 1784 01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:40,400 Speaker 1: maintain its concentricity said a word, Uh, you know, being 1785 01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,320 Speaker 1: concentric and all those things. So anyways, just the way 1786 01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:46,160 Speaker 1: that the barrel has done Sammer forged. There's different ways 1787 01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,719 Speaker 1: to do barrels, but we found that the Vanguard barrels 1788 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:51,560 Speaker 1: um are an excellent barrel, lasts a long time, but 1789 01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:55,080 Speaker 1: is very very concentric um as well, and that's one 1790 01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:56,880 Speaker 1: of the things that provides that accuracy. So you know, 1791 01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,080 Speaker 1: you look more, you get into certain things, you find 1792 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:01,680 Speaker 1: something out. And one of the things that Van Guard 1793 01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:03,760 Speaker 1: barrel has been known for for decades is that they 1794 01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,120 Speaker 1: have really good hammerforge barrels. So something else to kind 1795 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:09,120 Speaker 1: of throw in there if anybody geeks out on that stuff, 1796 01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:12,040 Speaker 1: if I like it, well, yeah, y'all. He likes that 1797 01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:19,040 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah, well knows wall someday I want 1798 01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:21,280 Speaker 1: to add up all Yanni's nicknames.
