| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome to the Field Crafts Rally podcast. |
| 0:15.3 | I'm your host for this advertising space and I want to thank our sponsors that make |
| 0:20.2 | this podcast totally possible. |
| 0:21.8 | The first sponsor is Sig Sour. |
| 0:24.0 | Guys, Sig is an awesome company. |
| 0:25.9 | I'm a SIG nerd when it comes to their products. |
| 0:28.9 | I'm a SIG junkie when it comes to training at the SIG Sour Academy. |
| 0:32.3 | There's always a SIG project that I want to kind of mess around with and my current SIG |

| 1:08.5 | the 365 and the SIG Tried pistol and the MPX, which by the way, the MPX is probably the |
| 1:15.3 | most fun firearm you will ever shoot, just because the trigger is super, super fine, very |
| 1:22.0 | little recoil. |
| 1:24.2 | People joke and they say that the MPX is the MP5 killer and I'm not surprised. |
| 1:30.5 | Guys, SIG Sour is one of those companies. |
| 1:32.3 | Like I said, they have products, they have training. |
| 1:35.5 | Please check out the SIG Sour Academy. |
