Rifle

... and until Gillian inherited this Marlin 990, I had one single rimfire in the entire house, and it was my Henry s- U.S.

Survival Rifle.

Mm.

And that's it.

In order to hit a clay target or any type of moving target, your focus needs to be in the right spot.

And so that's one of those nuances where if you come from, like, a pistol rifle background and you're used to looking at the sights and focus on the sights, y- that's called aiming, and it usually leads to missing with clay targets.

So that's why we call it target focus because when you put your focus in the right spot, your hands move together with your body and put the gun where it needs to be.

Small, simple concept, major different results.

You know? Uh, here's one.

My brand is called Target Focus Life, and part of the reason is in order to hit a clay target or any type of moving target, your focus needs to be in the right spot.

And so that's one of those nuances where if you come from, like, a pistol rifle background and you're used to looking at the sights and focus on the sights, y- that's called aiming, and it usually-

Mm-hmm

Yeah.

Fast forward a couple days, opening day of Rifle.

I go up with a buddy.

I'm like, hey, if he's going to come out, he's going to be right here.

And they're only young kids, but they are absolutely incredible shots.

Rifle-wise, I've not seen as many women as I would probably like.

But if anyone ever does want to come out stocking, pop me a DM, message me.

I'm always just at the end of Instagram or my private Facebook for the reason of more women need to be involved.

And you're like, you open up your coat and there's, like, revolvers-

Yes

... and lever action rifles in there, and you're like, "Come try my manually operated firearms."

Check this out.

These are so great.

As soon as we had gunpowder, tactics changed a little bit, but a lot of them were pretty similar to the stuff that we had been doing with crossbows and longbows and other ranged weapons.

For a long time, Rifle combat was a little bit of shooting and then a whole bunch of centuries-old pike combat tactics with bayonets.

So stuff has changed pretty slowly over the years, and there is a science to it.

The people that learn the science, I know that we have an idea, and part of this is Hollywood's fault, but part of this is a desire, a personal desire that...

We come around the corner.

I think it was opening day at Rifle.

Come around the corner, dude, and there's a little spike standing in the road.

I'm like, you've got to be kidding me, dude.

the we're no

we're no better michael michael have you ever been out on okay i'm not a rifle hunter but i'm a bow hunter and i i certainly have i say this with absolute honesty from the bottom of my heart i have zero problem with rifle hunters i i honestly i think every type of hunting i don't care how you do it if you if you're honoring the animal and you're doing it with with love in your heart then i'm a supporter of it but On opening season, Rifle season.

Okay.

I can't speak for all states.

I'm a big fan.

They do far more litigation in defense of the Second Amendment than the National Rifle Association, for example, where I'm also a life member.

But the Second Amendment Foundation has filed its opening brief.

Now, it's not an amicus brief.

Musket barrels were not rifled, and their ammunition tumbled in flight rather than traveling in a controlled spin.

In other words, they were more akin to an erratic knuckleball pitch.

The Kentucky Long Rifle would earn an international reputation for American marksmen in the war.

At Saratoga, Tim Murphy, an American hunter and rifleman, made General Frazier, one of the ablest British officers, his special target and wounded him mortally at a range of over 300 yards, an impossible range to even attempt with a musket.
