What is up, everybody? Mark on the mic here. Mr. Ryan Muckin-Hern across from me. Now, Ryan,

0:08.0

you are your gentleman. You're your classy. You appreciate the finer things in life as it relates

0:18.0

to sporting items. You're a gun enthusiast. I'd say more than an amateur historian when it comes

0:26.8

to fine firearms. I'm not paid to do it, so I'm still an amateur. Oh, amateur. Okay. Yeah.

0:33.7

You like wing shooting. I do. You are a rough-grouse aficionado. I like to chase them.

0:40.7

Whether or not I can hit them on the wing is up for debate. Mark, you and I became fast friends

0:45.3

many years ago. Well, also up for debate. Is whether or not they can fly? Yeah.

0:50.1

That's how I knew I loved mine. It's like day six for me at vortex. They can fly.

0:55.6

1:31.8

hunt grouse with a 12-gauge if it was your grandpa's gun, your dad's gun, or if it has sidewalks,

1:38.9

hammers, or was built, I'm going to say, before 1940. That was an arbitrary number, right?

1:47.6

You're really handcuffed in a lot of folks here. It's a joke, but they're just...

1:52.3

Why? They're little, Mark. Oh, my. Yeah. They're little and they like to fly.

1:58.2

We've talked a little bit about brushbusting cartridges before.

2:04.6

You got more chances out there with the 12-gauge. I like how fancy sometimes grouse hunting makes me

2:13.4

feel because I could put the get-up on and sometimes I'm with a fancy dog. I've never shot a

2:20.4

limited grouse in my life. I've been close, but I've never shot a full-length grouse. I did, I
