| 0:00.0 | Well, if you're listening to this and you're wondering, what is this podcast that just popped up? |
| 0:13.1 | We're going to be doing some bonus podcasts, more things than just the Gun Talk radio show. |
| 0:19.8 | Sometimes I just get something in my head that I want to talk about, and it doesn't fit |
| 0:24.5 | well into the regular radio show, so I'll be throwing out these podcasts, and that could |
| 0:30.0 | be anywhere from just a few minutes to five or ten minutes. |
| 0:32.9 | It's not going to be very long, just whatever is on my mind at the time. |
| 0:37.4 | I was thinking about wing shooting and shotgunning, |
| 0:41.4 | and Ryan and I went out last Saturday, did some quail hunting, and had a couple of things |
| 0:47.1 | happened that were reminders. It wasn't that I discovered something. It was that I was |
| 0:51.4 | reminded of things that I knew. It's just kind of a |

| 1:19.9 | guns. Handguns, I shoot right-handed. That's because I have a strong left-dominant eye, but I'm very |
| 1:25.9 | right-handed. But fortunately, my dad switched me over to the left side when I was very young |
| 1:31.2 | because he saw me trying to use my left eye to shoot with BB guns and such. |
| 1:36.1 | So I shoot left-handed, and a straight stock doesn't fit me. |
| 1:40.7 | And even worse than that, a lot of the guns, especially over and unders now, are made with |
| 1:45.1 | a little bit of cast, that is, the stock is bent to favor right-handed shooters. Well, you can |
| 1:50.9 | imagine what that does to you if you're left-handed. So when I put the shotgun up, what I see |
| 1:56.3 | is not looking down the barrel. I actually have the barrel kind of pointing to the right. So if I just |
