• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I got to look at it a little bit more.
• 0:43

• 0:45
  Speaker 1: turn on iHeartRadio.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I yeah, I love that our show streams,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you know, and every now and then I'll go back
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and listen to an old show and I go, I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: no smarter today than I was years ago. We got
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: three hundred not like you, Preston, I know, but we're
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a weekly show and We're a spin off of you know.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Think of the Jeffersons and All in the family. I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the All in the family and they're the Jeffersons. Okay,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: maybe not.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're uh so, we've got three hundred and ninety
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: eight shows, I think something like that. A lot of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: what are on YouTube now as well. So I don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: know why anybody want to see us. But every now
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and then Paul will talk about a fish or something
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: somebody caught, and I'll throw up a photo or you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we'll talk this big yeah, yeah, so we you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of course, if you hope that's all forced perspective.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I tried to set you up there because we were
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: talking about now you you you've got a plan for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: when you've got the iHeartRadio app on, and that was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the topic of the day, coming to the range with
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a plan.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So we you know, and I've been wanting to do
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: this for a long time and I just haven't. We
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: used to shoot videos, and for a long time I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: been meaning to do training videos. So when you come
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: to the range, you can literally scan a QR code
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: for this old folks, that's a barcode, but with a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: new shape and you take a picture of it, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's got a link pops up and you click on
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that and it goes to a YouTube page or some website,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and so you can look ahead of time and come
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to the range with a plan. And I want to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: do now that I'm saying I'm going to do it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I have to go do it now because I've been
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: procrastinating for about now. You're committed in about two years,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and I have everything in place to do. I just
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: want to go out and do some basic shooting drills.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So okay, if you're going, here's what happens. People go, hey,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: let's go to range today. Yeah, and they show up
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and they get all their guns out and they go
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: shoot all their guns and they learn absolutely nothing. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it's fun. Okay, they shoot some they poke some holes
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in some paper, But what do they get out of it? Well,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's fun. It's it's like going to the ferry and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: ride and ride. Oh I had so much fun. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: mean what came from it? Well, I mean if it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a date, obviously, you know you're getting to know somebody.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But if it's just you know, it's you're building memories.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And you can do that to range However, you should
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: take every opportunity when you shoot your guns to do
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: some training. But that takes you thinking, and most people
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: have no idea how to train with firearms. So when
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you go to the range, have a plan. Say Okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna shoot my concealed carry gun today, or I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: gonna work with this gun. I carry on keeping the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: night stand in a safe matter of fact, I've got
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: one of these little push buttons save blah blah blah.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Take it to the range, set it on a picnic table,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you know, practice stand a few feet away, walk over
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the beat, beep, open it up, get the gun, shoot
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a particular drill, get some dummy rounds from the shop,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: do reload drills, malfunction drills. What happens that you know
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to tap rack bang? What happens if it doesn't work?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Say today, we're gonna work on this and take the family,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the spouse, whatever, the friends, and go today. We're going
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to get a time and we're going to see how
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: fast we can do two shots malfunction, two shots malfunction.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: We're going to work on this stuff. If you show
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: up without a plan, I mean, if you go, if
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you go on vacation. You kind of have an itinerary, right, Okay,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we're going to go to let's say Disney, we're going
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to ride these rides and then we're going to do this.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You should do the same thing at the range.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Plan your work and work you're plan.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, So I think I see so many people come
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: out and and I see them post videos, and I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: love that you go to range. You know, you're sharing
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the fact you're there. You're announcing to you know, your friends,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, okay, that's fine, but I just see
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: random holes in a piece of paper. The best training
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you can do with a handgun is on shooting steel. Yep, okay,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the value of shooting steel. So you go and say, okay,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I want to get one of the steel base. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: both of our ranges have three or four steel bays
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: on it. Okay, So sometimes they're busy, but they're generally
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: open and people will come out and they're just gonna
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: plink and they go get a paper range and they
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: shoot some paper targets, and that's fine. There's a place
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: for that as well. But once you start to really train,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you go down and get on the headplates or the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: silhouette and you do drills, challenge yourself, work from concealment.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I love getting on a timer because it puts pressure
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on you and you push the button, it'll pause for
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a second and it'll go beep, and then you draw
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and say you get over next to the headplates. I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: gonna knock down two headplates and then I'm gonna shoot
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the silhouette over here, or I'm gonna shoot the silhouette
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: twice and then shoot one of the headplates, and then
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know immediately whether you do it. And the value
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of shooting steel is that you can see your hit
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: if you take some white spray paint down. We generally
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have some cans in the shop, but go to anywhere
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you want to buy some white spray paint. Spray paint
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: up your targets first, because then you'll see the witness mark.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: When the bullet hits a steel Yep, you'll see a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: grace spot. Okay, So you get visual feedback. Your brain
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: sees that that hit was where you meant it to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: be or not. You hear the ding. You may see
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the plate fall if it's a plate rack. If it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: one of the hostage targets, the headplate swings around.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: We'll see that vibrate all it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So you get visual and audio feedback. And what happens
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: is when you're whatever your body was doing at that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: point in time, then your brain sees the positive result
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and it's almost like a timestamp. Yes, everything I did
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: was correct, correct, correct. That was a miss that was wrong,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and then you think about it, what I do wrong?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You go back and you fix it. You're programming yourself
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to shoot accurately and to put your body in your
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: body position and your grip and all those things in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the side alignment. Everything you were doing, you're teaching yourself
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to do it correctly. But also you can work from
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: behind cover. You can shoot off hand, you know, just
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: with your support side hand.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I want to go go to the paper target for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just a second here, because you guys have added inside
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the range in the pro shop. There you've got a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: basically an enlarged version of dot Torture. I love that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: target for a paper target that gets some training done.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Mike got those printed up. We print
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: all of our own targets, yep. We have a big
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: plotter and we print the fire out of targets. That
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: printer is constantly running which is good because it's one
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of our highest profit margin items. But it's getting getting
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: something like that to where you are challenging yourself. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: know what I used to do it it's SWAT training.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I'd go up on a blank target and I would
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: just take a piece of a roll of masking tape
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: in the magic marker and draw a circle. Doesn't have
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to be complicated. You're out on the farm shooting or something,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: or your piece of property, get a paper plate, you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: just whatever. Find something to shoot, but think about not
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: only accuracy, speed, your movement, tactics, cover, but come up
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: with something you're going to do. The whole point of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: it is it doesn't matter if what's your shooting or
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: what your conditions are. Have an idea and then visualize
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: how would how would a real life scenario If you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: see something in the news, Okay, try to think through
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that real life scenario. The the shooting in Gaston County.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It was a tragic shooting where some arm thud comes
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: through and murders two people.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: In convenience story, what are you doing?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You're at the gas pump's pumping gas and the guy
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: walks out in a parking lot and points a gun
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: at you. How do you move to cover? You know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: most of those places have sheds and steal columns make
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: pretty good cover to gas pumping not so much. But hey,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you know, could you move around the vehicle? Could you draw?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Where's your gun? Is it in the car? How do
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you get to You know, you can come out of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a range and pull your car up and you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: work out of your car. You just have to talk
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to the staff about you know, could I want to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: arrange I can pull my car out there and we're
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: not responsible for cut tires on brass and rubber tires,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: but you can do that and then you can work
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: from your car. I challenge everyone that comes out to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: do something that get get a little winded. Everybody used
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to criticize another local range that was a very private club.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: You can't do push ups and jog and do things
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: like that and then shoot, you can't hear you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: be somewhere like absolutely put yourself under a little bit
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: of stress, not too much. We do have an a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: D so you know for old folks like us, just
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, if you're going to do that and you've
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: got a condition, you might want to let the staff
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: know to keep an eye on you, just to get hey.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: If I'm still too long, come check on me. So
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's real quiet down on Beaten you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: come check on me.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But have a plan.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Have a plan.
