0:00.0	All right, folks, welcome to the Gritty Podcast.
0:02.0	We are at the sheep show in Reno, Nevada.
0:05.5	And I'm joined by my boys at Louis Pold.
0:09.4	We got Tim Lesser here, Colin.
0:11.8	We're going to talk today about this BX6 range HD binocular range finder.
0:18.9	Yep.
0:19.5	And, yeah, Tim, tell us about it.
0:23.9	Because it's, it's a revolutionary.
0:26.9	It's new.
0:27.4	This is a tougher one to talk about initially because it does so much that what order do you go through it all?
0:34.2	So the way that I approach this is the way that we designed it.
0:37.4	When we were going through designing this, hands down, it had to So the way that I approach this is the way that we designed it. When we
0:37.7	were going through designing this, hands down, it had to be the best optics, period. So it had to be, the binocular itself has to be the best range-finding binocular on the market, period, regardless of price point. So that was job one. Very proud of the team. They have done that. So it's phenomenal, top tier glass. The next thing after that was, honestly, it needs to be the best in every other category. And that is a big challenge. So we've been working on this for a long time. But when I say that, I mean, we're going to need to have the best ballistics. It needs to range the fastest. You need to have the most simplified process for getting into it.
1:12.0	So if this thing works really well but is clunky and hard to use, you've lost me.
1:16.6	I'm gone, right?
1:17.7	So boiling all that down, it needs to be something that you can glass through all day, every day, period, best glass.
1:23.8	And then everything else needs to be so simple that you don't worry about it. That's an us problem. Yeah. That's a loop hold problem, not a consumer problem. And that's how we went after it. And so just rifle ballistics, archery ballistics, pinning on maps. Those were the big things that we were trying to go after, but they all have to be best in class. That pin needs to be exactly where you, where you dropped it. It needs to be right there. if you need to take that shot, the bullet needs to hit in that spot. So does it do it?
1:47.9	It does. glass. That pin needs to be exactly where you, where you dropped it. It needs to be right there. If you need to take that shot, the bullet needs to hit in that spot. So does it do it?
1:52.5	It does. It does. So, so, so this thing will do your ballistics?
1:58.7	Rifle and, uh, and archery. Yep. What's the tech in there for the archery calculations?
2:03.5	So it's precision cut archery. Uh-huh. And a high level on this without overwhelming everybody immediately right out of the gate is one of the big things is that
2:08.7	we're going to pay attention to where you zeroed. What were the conditions? So we call it a zero
