25.59 - 42.188 Vince H

On the episode tonight, Mike Gonsalves, fast as broke, broke as slow, whatever that means. Dave Packard, stay-at-home dad. Sam Alexander, who knows when to walk away and can't even run. And here to say that boy ain't right in the head, I'm Vince H.,

Chapter 2: What personal gear updates do the hosts share?

42.168 - 61.05 Vince H

Tonight, around the campfire, we're talking about stuff and things and something I did. And, yeah, we didn't update that part of the show notes. It's figurative running, sir. Oh, okay. Yeah. Running is a figure of speech. He knows when to run, but he doesn't know how.

0

62.231 - 66.696 Mike Goncalves

Mine is a euphemism or whatever on slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

0

66.716 - 68.418 Dave Packard

Oh, I thought it was a euphemism about being poor.

0

69.8 - 70.1 Mike Goncalves

No.

0

71.001 - 71.061

No.

71.294 - 91.851 Dave Packard

about being broken but saying fast is broken throws off the uh it throws off the cadence so you see these colors here these colors don't run motherfucker why are you holding your nipple like that that's weird my nipple's down here it's not up here if my nipple was up here on my collarbone i could probably make a lot of money

93.502 - 99.448 Mike Goncalves

Like, hey, guys. Hey, guys, you want to see something cool? Power bone nipple guy.

99.528 - 105.433 Dave Packard

Somebody, somebody, somebody somewhere is really into that.

108.696 - 114.161 Mike Goncalves

Okay. His name was Barnum and Bailey or PT Barnum, I guess.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights of the shooting event?

742.445 - 745.829 Unknown

There's not a lot of energy carrying with this son of a bitch right now.

0

747.071 - 759.765 Dave Packard

That was a 300 wind mag? Mm-hmm. Takes one shot, destroys the stand. Ah, fuck. Well, at least you know I hit it.

0

759.785 - 764.592 Mike Goncalves

Dang, that is not a lot of... How thick is that sign? Eighth inch aluminum, I think.

0

766.615 - 769.46 Dave Packard

There's no way those are aluminum. They're way too fucking heavy.

0

771.343 - 773.105 Mike Goncalves

They'd be a lot heavier if they were steel.

774.628 - 776.25 Unknown

Maybe stainless. I don't know.

778.711 - 783.297 Dave Packard

Well, that's because it skipped off the ground first. It dumped all its energy into the dirt.

783.958 - 799.438 Unknown

Oh, yeah. I got a picture of the bullet, and it's all like... I'm a little fucked up. Will you take care of me forever and ever? Let's see. I'll find it. Talk amongst yourselves.

799.818 - 801.901 Mike Goncalves

Well, that's awesome. Thousand Yard Club's pretty cool.

Chapter 4: What challenges did the hosts face during the run?

1044 - 1047.685 Mike Goncalves

Listen, if your logic is going to ruin the joke, then I just won't make jokes anymore.

0

1049.673 - 1053.356 Vince H

Why didn't you tell us sooner? Please go on.

0

1054.837 - 1058.661 Dave Packard

Tell me more. What else you got?

0

1062.884 - 1064.166 Mike Goncalves

That's it. That's all I'm telling you.

0

1071.512 - 1076.596 Vince H

Well, I had something happen this last weekend. I had my running gun.

1076.656 - 1078.498 Sam Alexander

Oh, yeah, it's

1079.761 - 1102.545 Vince H

did you win it all no run and go i i did but in a in an order that might surprise you um do y'all want it you want a full recap on it or it kind of highlights or do it i mean hit it what did you shoot it with did you shoot it with the with the good guy with the big guy

1103.285 - 1133.255 Vince H

No, so on this one, because the distances were so short, and I don't know exactly why, they mentioned something about a potential safety concern with larger calibers. I don't see it, but they limited everybody to 7.62x39, 5.56, or 300 blackout or equivalent. So that got answered for me, but I did put the... The fiber dot on my main rifle that I normally take and run.

1133.917 - 1160.703 Vince H

My 14.5... Actually, it's a 14.7 pin and weld. I sighted that in and... never actually put it above three power because I think the furthest target was 170 yards and it was a full size silhouette steel. So there was no reason to, to go higher than that. Um, But yeah, I guess I'll start at the beginning. Got there Friday morning.

Chapter 5: What are the latest updates on hunting gear and ammunition?

4027.825 - 4055.095 Vince H

But so these are probably pretty slow out of this, but if you get something that'll give you, you know, 1200 or 1100 with, uh, lighter stuff, you still may get not 850, 900, 1,000 out of a 30 or 35 grain, which I think that these are pretty interesting because this is about the heaviest I've seen in the fact that they have segmented hollow points and hollow points.

0

4056.016 - 4064.164 Dave Packard

Well, if Dusky endorses CCI segmented hollow points, they must be pretty damn good because that man's killed more squirrels.

0

4064.965 - 4066.707 Unknown

Yeah, and I've seen...

0

4067.952 - 4072.78 Dave Packard

They actually had to truck squirrels into Florida from other states, and it's all his fault.

0

4073.681 - 4079.952 Unknown

Squirrel reintroduction act. Protect the squirrels. Protect.

4080.472 - 4086.923 Dave Packard

Next thing you know, there's going to be a Karen out there yelling at him for killing squirrels.

4088.422 - 4094.07 Mike Goncalves

She's out there chittering like one. Yeah, she doesn't flap her arms.

4094.15 - 4097.775 Dave Packard

She just tucks her hands up by her chin.

4098.115 - 4117.97 Vince H

CCI has also come out with two new hunting loads for .22 long rifle, both a subsonic and supersonic lead flat nose. So that's also interesting. There's another release I saw out there.

Chapter 6: What interesting developments occurred at SHOT Show?

4159.724 - 4160.145 Dave Packard

Never mind.

0

4161.407 - 4168.179 Unknown

My brother-in-law has one of those heritage Rough Riders with a 16 inch barrel. Yep. Decent out of there.

0

4169.06 - 4174.561 Dave Packard

Speaking of shot show things. Are we going to start on that? That's what I just did.

0

4175.964 - 4190.653 Unknown

Just a hot second. I got one more point. I shot the quiet out of my father-in-law's Henry 22 lever gun, and it is legit just the hammer falling. That's all you hear. Stupid fucking quiet.

0

4191.038 - 4207.608 Vince H

I've done. So with my bolt action, you just hear that think of the firing pin dropping. And it's like, did that go off? It's with the suppressor on it. It is just beyond quiet.

4208.209 - 4211.815 Unknown

But you have to confirm a hit that way. You know, you ain't got a squid.

4214.714 - 4232.524 Mike Goncalves

Yeah, I thought the high point carbine squibbed on me. Turns out it was just, it was the rounds just not, it got jammed up into the nose of the magazine. It wouldn't feed. Yeah. Turns out, you ever seen that photo of the high point carbine with like 15 rounds that squibbed into each other? Yes.

4233.125 - 4234.687 Vince H

That's, I like that picture.

4234.767 - 4234.887 Mike Goncalves

Yeah.

Chapter 7: How do hunting regulations affect poaching incidents?

4241.461 - 4247.567 Vince H

Like, my gun's not working.

0

4247.587 - 4281.028 Dave Packard

I think I see the problem. Speaking, okay, so I mentioned revolvers briefly came up. Shot show things. Midwest Industries is putting out, you can buy it right now. It is a pistol arm brace, quotation marks, for revolvers. Am I sharing the right screen? Yes. Okay, good. Because I don't know if anyone else gets a big hard on from looking at this, but I sure do. I mean, it's a new person.

0

4281.048 - 4284.965 Unknown

I wouldn't go hard. Does it fold underneath?

0

4285.466 - 4294.156 Dave Packard

No. So it's a lot like some of the old ones. We're talking like fucking back in the late 19th century.

0

4294.176 - 4294.836 Unknown

Yeah.

4294.856 - 4313.228 Dave Packard

But you replace the grip, and it's for like GP100 Colts, so like basically every revolver under the sun almost. You replace the grip on it, and then the brace screws into the bottom of that grip. I'm sure it's got a couple locking lugs on it, too. And I'm just like, ugh. oh, I need one of these for my GP100.

4315.254 - 4324.962 Unknown

I like it, and I think it is useful, especially for straight wall states. That's about the only use I can think of. It does fold underneath it.

4325.633 - 4326.114 Dave Packard

I mean, yeah.

4326.214 - 4331.846 Unknown

Actually, though, you probably can rotate it around to fold it. Yep. Okay, so that changes shit for me.

Chapter 8: What are the consequences of poaching and wildlife violations?

4333.99 - 4340.484 Dave Packard

Let me whip out my revolver. I'm not sure if you can, like... I mean, it'd be fucking neato if you could flip it around.

0

4340.825 - 4343.57 Unknown

If it had, like, a detent where it would click.

0

4343.991 - 4355.45 Dave Packard

The downside of them... is they are... Expensive? Hang on. Midwest, I should... Yeah, they are $320.

0

4356.551 - 4357.952 Unknown

That's not as bad as I thought.

0

4358.493 - 4388.029 Dave Packard

It could be better. I'm not exactly excited. I'm not exactly excited about the prospect of shooting a .357 Magnum with that leverage, because that recoil is not in line with your arm. It is coming down kind of... And a weird fucking lever motion. But that is why we have no tax stamps right now or $0 tax stamps to SBR that bitch. Short barrel rifle GP 100. Oh, yeah.

4390.412 - 4406.72 Dave Packard

I don't have a practical use for one that is purely like rule of cool because that harkens back to have you guys for a few dollars. So fistful of dollars and then there's a few dollars more Clint Eastwood. Oh, Clive, what's that?

4406.74 - 4418.888 Dave Packard

I forget what the actor's name is, but one of the supporting characters in there pulls out a Buntline 1873 revolver and then, sure enough, fucking clips the stock to the bottom of it. Ugh.

4421.078 - 4430.168 Vince H

So do they make one of those for the Heritage Roughrider? It is possible. Because the buttstock would cost three times what the gun does.

4430.509 - 4435.795 Dave Packard

Let's see. Colt Anaconda, Python, Magnum Research, Ruger Blackhawk.
