Hazzbro’s Hammer Time

Hazzbro is a reloading YouTuber who I met (virtually) on the Guns, Beer, and Therapy livestream hosted by American Hillbilly. He created a Mario themed target shooting contest called the Hammer Time Challenge. He’s inviting everyone to download his targets and shoot it for points and to post up your results.

I took up the challenge and download the 22LR target sheet. After my falling plates match at the range, I set up Hazzbro’s target at 50yrds and shot them with my CZ457 using CCI standard velocity ammo. We’re in the middle of a heat wave here in the San Francisco Bay Area and unfortunately, by mid-afternoon the 50yrd line was fully exposed to the sun.

It was an uncomfortable process of zero’ing out the scope and shooting the targets. But I managed to not miss too often or hit Mario. Still I failed to hit either of the coin targets and only scored a 16 after penalties. Can I do better? Possibly. Certainly with better ammo but I’m reasonably satisfied with my performance, though I won’t be winning any prizes with it.

TMI Livestream 241008

On this Live Chat with my viewers we talked about my new October Contest giveaway prize: Discovery Optics 7075 offset scope mount. While setting up that contest, I discovered that PayPal ended of their fundraising feature. I wonder why? I didn’t use GoFundMe because that service doesn’t allow me to contact or info about the donor so I can register them in my contest.

TMI Livestream Ep#240930

Thanks to my special guest Linq Chen of Discovery Optics for joining my Too Much Information Livestream to talk about the thinking and engineering behind their new ED-AR 1-8×24 LPVO. This is the scope that I reviewed and it’s one of the best budget FFP LPVOs out there. During this episode we watched my drop test video and showed the scope surviving a 2m drop and holding zero.

In this episode we also gave away a new pair of GT Media N4 night vision goggles. I recently tested these budget electronic NVG which is also a night vision camera able to take 1080p video.

During the show we also gave away a Guns.com swag bag and a Colt firearms swag bag to viewers on the live chat. If I get enough interest in doing a livestream, I’ll start doing this regularly.

Finally, I’d like to to especially thank American Hillbilly for letting his assistance on the show tonight.

Jade Struck interview at Arken

https://youtu.be/eyPQU4QSJeM

At SHOT Show 2024, I was invited by Arken Optics to interview Jade Struck, competitive shooter, firearms instructor for Keanu Reeves on John Wick, the face is Call of Duty’s “Iskra”, and proud Arken LPVO shooter. Jade has a remarkable resume and is an equally remarkable individual. She is one of the most physically fit firearms instructor I’ve ever met and she owes that inspiration her husband, former marine, Rudy Reyes.

In a feature rich half-hour conversation that ranged from working with celebrities, her competition background, the importance of fitness, Christian faith, and our favorite Batman actor. Thanks to Arken Optics for sponsoring this video and the opportunity to meet and be inspired by Jade.

DC Predator interview at Arken

DC Predator is an Instagram and YouTube channel of Scott Morris, his brother Ken, and son Kamron; a family of hunters from Arizona who have posted some of the most cinematic hunting footage this side National Geographic. Cam Morris is the primary cameraman for the channel and he brings his photo and videography experience to his family’s coyote hunts. And in case you’re wondering, I asked. DC is not a reference to our nation’s capitol. DC stands for “Death Clap”, the sound of a varmint going down.

Pewview at Arken

Nick Johnson started his TikTok and YouTube channel “Pewview” practically on accident. He was friends with popular Guntuber “Honest Outlaw” and would sometimes shoot with him at Outlaw’s backyard range. Outlaw would film Nick him during speed shooting practice (3gun and 2gun). Oh a whim, Nick posted a few videos on his TikTok and within days they gained millions of views.

Now nick has almost a million subscribers on Pewview with less than 200 videos. How did this guy get so big so fast? Looking at his videos, its easy to see why. He’s a competent and fast marksman and presents gun reviews and shooting tips that are practical, authentic, and without ego.

He’s been a long time owner of Arken scopes and recently started a partnership with Arken. I caught up with him at the Arken booth at SHOT Show 2024 and had an opportunity to sit down for an interview with him.
