| 0:00.0 | What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic here, Jim to my right. Across from us, we have |
| 0:07.1 | Scott Parks and Mr. Joe from our engineering department. We have 10 minutes ish to talk |
| 0:13.2 | about all about zero stops, Jim. Mostly about a little bit about. If you ask Joe who |
| 0:18.9 | is actually an engineer who works on projects like this, he's probably like, oh, yeah, |
| 0:22.7 | we're not even scratching the surface. Yeah, we're going to we're going to dip into zero |
| 0:26.8 | stops here. On the table beside us, if you're watching on YouTube, you can see a smattering, |
| 0:34.6 | quite a few rifle scopes here that have zero stops, some similar, some different, some |
| 0:39.1 | old, some new. We've got kind of like a historic zero stop past. When I started that |
| 0:44.9 | vortex, Scott, probably same for you, same for you, Jim. I don't think we had a scope |
| 0:49.3 | that had any sort of zero stop. The original PSTs were in development. The razor each, |
| 0:55.6 | the original razor HD 520 by 50 didn't exist yet. And now look, all sorts of them. |
| 1:01.8 | There's a lot here now. I'd also say about that time frame were locked. Well, that's |

| 1:12.9 | not mistaken. Yeah, I mean, but a lot of the stuff like the world I came from, you know, |
| 1:19.3 | hunting background. I mean, cap turrets. Once you got, yeah, just hunting Scott again. |
| 1:25.3 | Once you got a zero, it was like no touchy hands off, like black magic. Like I do not |
| 1:30.5 | want to ruin this. Like the thought of like dialing your turret and screwing that up. Yeah, |
| 1:35.7 | like fear factor 12, right? But they also think about that time frame too. Range finders |
| 1:40.9 | were really just, you know, somewhat in their infancy. Like they hadn't been around |
| 1:46.2 | in incredibly long time. A lot of archery guys were using it. Rifle guys are like, what |
| 1:50.7 | do I need? I'm just going to shoot. You know, I don't necessarily need a range finder. |
| 1:53.8 | Ballistic calculators on your phone were in a thing. Yeah. So a lot of things have progressed |
