Enjoy!
Range Goat
While filming the clay thrower shorts, we had a visitor on range who repeatedly tried to interfere with our filming. This is Range Goat and he does what he wants.

This interesting catalogue gives some insight into the hunting business as it used to be.
2020-12-02 02:11:58 +0000 UTC View PostAnnouncement: Merch Alert - Switzerland & C&Rsenal Shirts!
Alright boys and girls, we weren't able to do our usual campaign this year since with everything going on, fast bulk ordering has been difficult to say the least. So this year we pre-ordered a fair number of shirts for our two new prints. As patrons, we wanted to give you guys a first crack at placing your orders before we announce it to the public.

Every single day we are motivated by your support and belief in our project.
From the bottom of our hearts.
It's a Trap!
Yes, the regular program will be listed here in just a few hours. But for now, enjoy this, our newest and worst series!
This time we've tried to build something ultra light; a show that required the minimum effort to produce in order to stretch our minds and, hopefully, start making content IN ADDITION to Primer.
This is a prototype and will not be released to the public for a week, so let us know how you feel about it!

Othais and Mae are joined this time around by Blackpowder Kevin from IV8888 who came to town to help them with a special project, the project of friendship.
This podcast will be released to the public a little later as part of a "We have over 300k subscribers on YouTube so please enjoy this extra content" bit, but we wanted patrons to have the first listen. Enjoy!
Y'all
Sometimes I get frustrated, tired, burned out, or just plain stuck.
Having supporters like you all means more than funding. It's a strong motivator to keep pushing and to keep the quality on a slow climb.
Thank.

Heads up folks,
Several of you rightly pointed out I skimmed over the major difference in the Scandinavian Krags last episode: the second locking lug.
For whatever reason that point did not stand out in my source notes and I failed to pull my head up long enough to remember my basics. We're rolling a corrected animation and I'm going to record a video/audio patch.
Unfortunately we have to re-release the episode and lose the metrics so far but unlike l...

For orders containing the SMLE patch pack on the candrsenal site this month, we snuck in a Halloween-themed photo of the pigs. Knowing this can be a difficult feat, we thought some of our patrons might enjoy a behind-the-scenes video of our attempt. Enjoy!

We have here what is quite frankly one of the most beautiful and largest catalogs we have scanned to date. However, in order to keep the resolution high, we have had to split it up in half. Attached is the first portion and we'll give you guys the second part next month. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we have, this has been one of Othais's personal favorites so far. Enjoy!

Othais and Mae chat about their adventures in North Carolina, the difficulties of finding and borrowing the right guns for the show, Othais getting beat at his favorite game, and more!
Edit: Apparently there was some sort of permissions issue on this podcast at first. I had to detach the original file and re-upload it. Appears to be working now.

So fun fact, Patreon doesn't like attachments bigger than 200MB. It seems to be loading up just fine now. Enjoy!
All right, for you patrons above the $5 level we will now be providing high resolution scans of these public domain documents once a month! Thanks to it now being 2020, we've moved up into the 1924 range and so that's where we've started with this Sport Manual.

A lot of you have been kind enough to select a donation level of $5 or more out of nothing more than the will to support the show more. While it has been very kind, we've decided to introduce a higher tier perk as a way to say thank you.
Because of our research for the up coming repeating shotgun series, we've been doing a lot of digging into antique catalogs and magazines. Since we've had to buy a few directly anyway, we're going to start scanning these public domain...
