- [Voiceover] Gun talk is brought to you by
Black Hills Ammunition,
Liberty Safe,
and Springfield Armory.
- Well, here on the FTW we do three things
we do hunting of our own species that are born and raised
here, that are endangered around the world,
but you can still hunt them here in Texas,
and then we do a fair amount of military training.
The largest part of our business, though,
is the SAAM Training Program and that's basically
two programs.
It's either precision, which is medium caliber longer
range shooting and then we do the SAAM Training
which is the dangerous game training.
- This one over here, take him!
(gun shot)
- Michelle and Kolton are going through a bit of
a combination of that, some precison shooting for a day
and dangerous game for a day.
- You know what makes FTW really unique
is the terrain itself.
There's 12,000 acres.
It's hills, it's valleys, draws.
The biggest thing for us is from a marksmanship standpoint
is it's kind of easy once you figure out
the guns and how much they doll up in the environment
we're in, but these winds coming through these canyons
at all different angles, it challenges any level of shooter.
(energetic music)
- Michelle and Kolton, we're going to have a competition.
We're going to go 250 yards through 500 yards.
The small plate, either one, left or right,
you have to declare it, ok?
You have to declare whether you are shooting
the small plate on the left or the small plate on the right,
is worth ten points.
First shot, your big plate, is worth seven points.
I will tell you the artage,
I will tell you the color of the plate.
Make sure you either dial or you hold.
- Wait, one thing.
Shoots and ladders, candy land, I always let you win,
when you were little.
My turn.
- What?
(laughter)
Really?
- I did let you win, Kolton.
I know.
- It wasn't even a game of skill.
(laughter)
You just drew the right card.
- No, I pretended, when you couldn't read I made up words.
(laughter)
- First target, 250 yards.
(gunshot)
Kolton got ten points.
Michelle, 250 you're up.
(gunshot)
Nice shot.
Seven points.
Next target, 350 yards.
(gunshot)
That hit the top right ear.
Nice shot, Kolton.
(gunshot)
Wrong target.
- Which, was it yellow?
- Orange.
- Jesus.
- Reload.
- I'm trying to let you win.
I'm shooting all the small ones
and you're shooting the wrong ones.
It's hard to talk trash when she just
straight up shoots the wrong target.
(gunshot)
- Hit.
(gunshot)
Hit.
(gunshot)
Nice shot.
Dead center.
(gunshot)
Nice shot.
(gunshot)
Just underneath it.
Did you forget to dial?
- Nope, I dialed.
That's 400 correct?
- Yup.
400.
(gunshot)
- Hit.
Perfect, 5 points.
And last target, 500 yards.
(gunshot)
Perfect, 10 points.
- Oh maaaan!
- And Michelle.
(gunshot)
Perfect and lets go ears off.
- You could say the score, it's ok.
- Ten, 20, 30, 40, 14, 28.
Kolton, 55 out of 60.
Michelle, 38 out of 60.
(beep and reeling of film)
(energetic music)
- After the competition, Larry took us up
to a new location, where we really tested our long range
shooting skills.
(gunshot)
- Kolton, move three feet to the right.
(gunshot)
That's a hit.
- Good.
(gunshot)
(metal clang)
- Holy shit!
(laughter)
(lady yelling)
- Sweet mother of pearl!
- Damn.
- This one here.
Wooh! Wooh!
Once again, we leave to see another day.
Can't wait until tomorrow but maaan I'm I ever tired.
