Hey everybody it is a bonus podcast of gun talk I'm Tom Gresham of course because nobody

else is foolish enough to do this. We're at the

Six Sour Range Day at Shacho. It is a phenomenal day about to kick off and got all sorts of

crazy things planned.

Lots of new product but also just crazy activities going.

And we're joined by two of the key people at SIG, well at least they told me they were.

I don't know if that's really true or not.

No, we're making it up. Yeah, I figure. That figures. With Phil fill I would believe that John exactly

John brass there is a brand new vice president at SIG right yes sir

congratulations thank you very much cool so your background coming into this is what? I worked in engineering at SIG for about four to five years and then I moved with product management and I've been doing that last four or five years. Okay, cool. All right. And Phil Strader, of course, who has been, he's kind of a new guy in the shooting game, but you know, we're bringing him along and doing everything we can. So welcome.

I don't appreciate it, Tom. Yeah, I know, you know, and Rob said to send his best.. Oh I'm sure he did. Is he still alive?

Phil has been shooting and winning competitions for quite literally decades now

partner. Yeah, yeah it has bad. Ever since I was out of high school, right? Yeah, that's pretty much right.

Boss. Yeah, my first major win was in 2000. So yeah, 19, this will be my 19th year it's

that's amazing you still shoot or you give it up no I'm still shooting I

just finished the the nationals in 19 2019 the big nine days of nationals and I was a fourth overall aggregate which is basically a combination of all three of the matches

but together so yeah I got beat by a bunch of pro shooters and I, John can attest that I don't shoot that much.

I sit behind a desk now.

Now you have a real job.

Yeah, I can tell you this that I don't think there was one person ahead of me that could

type faster than I could. I was going to say, keyboarding skills are fantastic.

My word per minute rate was way higher than anyone ahead of me.
