Track 14: Shoot Smart

• SPEAKER_00: Thank you for calling.
  
• SPEAKER_00: It's Mark Ford Worth.
  
• SPEAKER_00: This is Benjamin.
  
• SPEAKER_00: How can I help you today?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
  
• SPEAKER_01: My name's Weber.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I just moved here to Fort Worth and I was looking for a new gun, new weapon.
  
• SPEAKER_01: And I read about you, so I thought I'd give you a holler.
  
• SPEAKER_01: How are you doing up there?
  
• SPEAKER_00: Well, we're doing okay.
  
• SPEAKER_00: We do have a fair amount of different fires are available for sale and available for rent.
  
• SPEAKER_00: If you want to try one out before you buy one.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Oh, really?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Good, good, good.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the last gun shop in town I went to, they loaded me up with a bunch of squib, so that's why I'm phoning you.
  
• SPEAKER_00: As far as I know, most of the ammunition that we get is manufacturer fresh.
  
• SPEAKER_00: We do actually contract through a reloading company, but we've had almost no squibs from them whatsoever.
  
• SPEAKER_00: I think been in business with them for three years now, and I think we've had maybe one or two.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Sensational.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Good to hear.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, I can say with my previous weapon, I felt limited by the Boltax.
  
• SPEAKER_01: So I'm looking for something with a real good boar on it.
  
• SPEAKER_01: A lot of kick.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I was thinking of something with a rechargeable mainspring.
  
• SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I honestly don't know much about that kind of stuff.
  
• SPEAKER_00: That would be a question for my gunsmiths.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, I was thinking I may be dry firing a few guns, make a decision on what to buy.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Can I set an appointment with you?
  
• SPEAKER_00: We don't do appointments.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Everything's just first come, first served.
  
• SPEAKER_00: You can stop into the retail area at any time.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Though if it isn't missed to your time, though, we do have to be able to.
  
• SPEAKER_00: limit the amount of people that are in the store.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course, of course.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, partition bullets, blanks, it doesn't matter to me.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I'm firing my weapon every day and night.
  
• SPEAKER_01: So I need something that's going to do the job, and I don't want too much choke on there.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I mean, I'm 77 years old.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I don't need to be loading up on birdshot here.
  
• SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, specifically, I experienced some hang fire the last time I had a shootout.
  
• SPEAKER_01: What do you recommend to avoid that?
  
• SPEAKER_00: Honestly, hang fires, usually, those typically only happen with the older-styled firearms.
  
• SPEAKER_00: They usually don't happen with different firearms.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Okay.
  
• SPEAKER_00: But usually, yeah, a lot of those, especially with old black powder firearms, which since we're indoor only range, we actually don't allow black powder rifles.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, good.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Good, good, good.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I just don't know what to buy.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I mean, my uncle would always say a real market.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Marksmen doesn't use a floating barrel.
  
• SPEAKER_01: What kind of propellant y'all use up there?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I honestly don't know.
  
• SPEAKER_00: So we just order the stuff from manufacturers.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I'm interested in double action cocking on my new weapon.
  
• SPEAKER_01: What kind of lever action you got up?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I don't have any lever actions right now.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, I read about a hack where you can tweak the magnification on your scope up to like 100,000 X.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Did you read about that one?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I honestly have not read that, sir.
  
• SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
  
• SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I was having a problem fitting both a dampener and crosshairs on my last weapon.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Can some of these newer weapons accommodate both?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Again, I don't know.
  
• SPEAKER_00: That's going to be a question for a gunsmith.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, I usually remove the hammer block.
  
• SPEAKER_01: from my weapon.
  
• SPEAKER_01: My sergeant used to say those were for intermediates.
  
• SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
  
• SPEAKER_00: No, sir, I don't.
  
• SPEAKER_00: I don't.
  
• SPEAKER_00: I don't understand what you mean.
  
• SPEAKER_00: I'm not a gunsmith.
  
• SPEAKER_01: That's okay.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Hey, that's fine.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I'm new here, so I'm just trying to get a feel.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I have another weapon where I wanted to customize my muzzle.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Can you all help me do something like that?
  
• SPEAKER_00: Yes, my gunsmith can take care of that.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
  
• SPEAKER_01: And I also inadvertently.
  
• SPEAKER_01: jammed my sling swivel.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I was hoping you could all help me
  
• SPEAKER_01: dislodge it.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Possibly, yeah.
  
• SPEAKER_01: You want me to bring my snub nose up,
  
• SPEAKER_01: or?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Or, you know, I usually
  
• SPEAKER_01: only wear body armor when I
  
• SPEAKER_01: fire bowtail bullets.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Do you got any armor up,
  
• SPEAKER_00: or? We don't tell armor now.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Well, whatever I get, I really
  
• SPEAKER_01: want to ramp up my ejector
  
• SPEAKER_01: and my extractor.
  
• SPEAKER_01: So that's what I'm kind of looking for you. Can you narrow
  
• SPEAKER_01: it down with that kind of parameter?
  
• SPEAKER_00: Again, that's going to be a gunsmith thing.
  
• SPEAKER_00: A gunsmith. Would you like to attach you over to the gunsmiths? It sounds like you
  
• SPEAKER_00: got more questions for them. Oh, no.
  
• SPEAKER_01: It's okay. No, Benjamin, you've been helpful.
  
• SPEAKER_01: My granddad always said that a
  
• SPEAKER_01: magnum projectile cut
  
• SPEAKER_01: down on misfires,
  
• SPEAKER_01: you know, duds. So, something
  
• SPEAKER_01: with a magnum projectile is what I'm
  
• SPEAKER_01: looking to incorporate.
  
• SPEAKER_01: And I've,
  
• SPEAKER_01: I can handle recoil. Not a problem.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Not a problem.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I always wear a backstrap, so
  
• SPEAKER_01: that's no problem
  
• SPEAKER_01: at all.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Do you got any kind of fouling
  
• SPEAKER_01: retardant up there?
  
• SPEAKER_01: I don't
  
• SPEAKER_01: believe we do, no. Or for rent.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Maybe for rent.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Just something with a whole
  
• SPEAKER_01: lot of kick. A whole lot of
  
• SPEAKER_01: kick. I can handle the kickback.
  
• SPEAKER_01: You know.
  
• SPEAKER_01: So.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Don't.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Something with a rechargeable
  
• SPEAKER_01: mainspring.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Is that something you offer?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I honestly don't know, sir.
  
• SPEAKER_00: You're talking stuff that I have
  
• SPEAKER_00: no idea what it even means.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I just don't want too much choke on there.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Whatever I buy.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Again, I honestly
  
• SPEAKER_00: don't know what you're talking about, sir.
  
• SPEAKER_00: I know modern firearms.
  
• SPEAKER_00: But the stuff you're talking about, I have not seen
  
• SPEAKER_00: or used, and to be honest,
  
• SPEAKER_00: not many people have quite recently.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Oh, I see. What kind of
  
• SPEAKER_01: lever action? You got up?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I don't have any lever
  
• SPEAKER_00: actions right now.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Oh, shoot.
  
• SPEAKER_01: I usually
  
• SPEAKER_01: remove the hammer block
  
• SPEAKER_01: from my weapon, like I say, so I don't
  
• SPEAKER_01: need anything like that.
  
• SPEAKER_01: And so where do you stand on the sling swivel?
  
• SPEAKER_01: You with me there?
  
• SPEAKER_01: Uh, Benjamin.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Thank you for calling
  
• SPEAKER_00: to you smart Ford Worst.

• SPEAKER_00: We do have Buckshot available, yes.

• SPEAKER_01: Oh, why's that?
  
• SPEAKER_00: We're just really, really
  
• SPEAKER_00: short on ammunition. We want to make sure we have enough for
  
• SPEAKER_00: anybody that wants to come in to use the range.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
  
• SPEAKER_01: Is it factory fresh ammo?
  
• SPEAKER_00: Uh, yes, it is factory fresh ammo.

• SPEAKER_01: a stovepipe on my hands, you know what I'm saying?
  
• SPEAKER_00: I completely understand.
  
• SPEAKER_00: Shotguns usually don't stovepipe.
  
• SPEAKER_01: You ain't some squib up there, are you?
