Hey, I'm Tom Grasham. This is Gunn Talk. Glad you can be with us. Yeah, we're kicking off. 2026. Still a little weird to hear me say that. But it is the first show of the year. We've got a lot to talk about as we look forward. but also we're going to be doing a little looking backward today as well because, you know,

that old saying you can't know where you are unless you know where you've been,

and I think that's certainly true, and we'll be exploring that.

I've got to talk to you about a couple of, well, a couple of guns that I have purchased recently.
