Everybody was really nice.

Okay.

So after that portion of it, we went out to the gun range, which was just a 25-yard range that was at the back of the property.

And it had, like, tender framing around it, and it was kind of dug into the ground.

And so they got to shoot right there and deploy, and so everybody got their rounds, and we got pictures, and my wife got to shoot the gun with Victor, and she was excited about that, got some pictures.

Anyways, I, you know, I kind of stay back.

Like I don't put myself in the middle of everything.

And so I show everybody what to do, make sure everybody's safe.

We got, you've got a security type, former military people there.

Everybody knows how to shoot a gun and,

I'm just kind of sitting back at my vehicle, which is parked at the back, and Victor comes up to me and he's like, first thing he said was, you know, not the first thing of the whole meeting, but first thing he said in this moment was, you know, I don't really meet too many people that are at the pinnacle of their industry.

And to me,

I don't take overt compliments very well.

That was really the first time that anybody significant had said anything like that to me.

Because I'm still a very small company, almost invisible in the industry, even though I'm well known in the industry, but in the general marketplace, kind of invisible.

And so I, when I heard that, I was like, okay, at least somebody gets it.

Like, I'm not trying to get a badge of honor here, but that was, that was nice after 18 or 17 years of work at that point.

And, uh, so he said, well, you know, I've got some signature series that I'm looking at with, uh, he named off a few different companies and, you know, bigger companies.

Like, yeah, but this one's the only one that makes sense.

And for me, I already know what my weapon system is.
