I would almost force my hands to learn how to palm the ball.

And so I've become accustomed to, God, I don't want to say this.

And I know Peter's waiting.

He's waiting for me to say this.

Would you say that you palm a lot of balls as a youth?

Clipping his tooth.

Oh, it's going to get worse about what I'm about to say but i'm going to say it for the sake

of tactical science i'm just going to say it i tend to like i tend to like can you leave this

episode of the colion noir podcast is brought to you by vetter holsters Welcome to another episode of the Koleon Noir podcast and joining me today is David or The Humble Marksman. There you go. There we go. All right into it. So what, we're, give me the background behind the name. So, I'm not humble at all. You're just talking shit off camera immediately.

That's true. That's pretty much how I roll. But, uh, so back in the day when file storage

And back in the day, I mean, you remember this time because you get started back then. There were only like five or six gun tubers at the time. And that was around the time

the like Canic SFX was first hitting at this just scene.

And it wasn't legal. gun tubers at the time and that was around the time the like canic uh sfx was first hitting at

this just scene and it wasn't legal for any of the competition stuff so i was just like all the

the gun tubers were like yeah this is the best competition gun at the time you wasn't yeah

it was like if you want to shoot an open then then yes, you can use the slide tracker on it,
