Paul at the Ranch
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2024
I'm Paul Spitale, and I've been the driving force behind Colt's Consumer Business since 2015, as their EVP of Sales and Marketing. Additionally, I spent 25 years with Sony Electronics as an SVP in Consumer Sales. I've recently retired and I'm excited to share outdoor and shooting skills I've learned throughout the years.
What most people didn't know about me, is that I've been hunting and fishing since I was a very young man. So, working for Colt for the last 9 years was an incredible honor and experience for and enthusiast like me. I'm also an IDPA Competitor, 3D Archer, NRA Range Safety Officer and NRA Instructor...and someone who loves spending time out in nature hunting and shooting. My shooting passions are seen in nearly all forms of shooting, from archery to black powder rifles. I have a strong faith that grounds me in what's most important, and a constant reminder of why we're here...to serve.
Be Safe, God Bless and Thanks for Watching!
Very best regards,
Paul

Shooting the El Prez Ranch Style
Friends this is a true classic action pistol shooting drill. It's done at 10yds typically using three IDPA or USPSA Targets. You start facing up-range in a surrender position, on the beep you turn (safely) and put two rounds in each of the three targets...then from slide lock, do an emergency reload and reengage the same three targets with two rounds each...for a total of 12 rounds. The drill originated from Col Jeff Copper of Gunsite Fame, he created it originally as practice drill, for protecting a South African Head of State back in the day. It's a great drill and takes a lot of skill, to get under 10 seconds, so I'll keep practicing.
Scoring the Drill - Remember hits outside the A-Zone add one second in the C-Zone and three seconds in the D-Zone, so make sure you're making good hits. Today, I shot the drill in 13.74 seconds clean, which would put me in at a B-Rating, so I'll keep practicing!
• Under 10 Seconds Expert Rated
• 10:01-12:00 Seconds A Rated
• 12:01-14:00 Seconds B Rated
• 14:01-16:00 Seconds C Rated
• Anything over 16 Seconds means you need to spend more time at the range practicing.

Working on Strong and Weak Hand Shooting with the 2 2 2 Drill
มุมมอง 4219 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Friends the 2-2-2 Drill is a great low round count drill that works on shooting with our strong and support hands. I love this drill because the performance standard of 9 seconds, which is not that easy, especially, if shot from concealment. I also like that it's focusing on strong and support hand shooting, which most of us (including yours truly) don't do nearly enough. This is a Ken Hackatho...
Shooting 3D Archery is a Blast
มุมมอง 39214 วันที่ผ่านมา
Friends find a local 3D Archery Match and shoot it...they're a blast. Today I only shot 14 targets, as I'm still fighting through a shoulder issue...however, it was a great time. I held my own today, scoring 130 pts. out of a possible 140-point total or 9.23 target avg. Today, I was using my HHA Sight with my Mathews Bow, which for me, is a deadly combination.

Build a simple Shotgun Rack for the Ranch

Friends, building a simple long-gun rack is fun and easy to do, if you have the right equipment. I'm a huge fan of DeWalt 20Volt Cordless Tools, they allow me to tackle projects off the beaten path and they're very powerful. Also using the Worx Pegasus Bench was great for this project and using pipe clamps makes it easy to bridge larger openings. I got the Bench on Amazon, see below and the pip...

Friends getting my 450 Bushmaster Bergara Rifle ready for the season. Using three different loads, we were able to get some fantastic results. Each load used a Hornady FTX 250 Gr. Bullet, which is a great performer on deer sized game. I also utilized Birchwood Casey Shoot & See 8 Inch Targets, which are a big help at the 100 yard-line...I don't even need a spotting scope at that distance with a...

Give Bow Hunting a Try...You'll LOVE it

Friends, another chat by the fire, discussing my love and passion for all things Bow Hunting. If you never bow hunted before, I think it's something you'll really enjoy. All it takes is to get a quality bow, that's properly fitted. I'd suggest going to a Mathews or Hoyt Authorized Dealer, as they both make very high-quality bows. Archery Targets can be found at Walmart or other Archery Outlets ...

Do you have the universal satern or the caliber specific?
I use the specific calibers, so I do have a number of these funnels, they last forever brother
@@Paulattheranch yeah I figured that, just checking first before I started buying them, guess I'll buy a couple every time I place an order. I have about every caliber in some form so I'm to poor to buy them all at once 😂. I've only been doing this for about 5 yrs, to save money. Turns out every dime I make goes right back into it, imagine that. I have a blast though.
@@pabloco091 I'd start with 30 caliber, because it covers a lot of loads.
What are the brand of that funnel?
Satern Funnels available on Midway USA Brother
Good info, thinking about trying those and give the nosler a break. That way I can satisfy my curiosity and form my own opinion on the Berger's
You won't regret it!
One thing I have always been poor at was carpentry. I appreciate the video my brother. I just updated all my power tools with the 20V Dewalt tools.
You would regret it brother...they're fantastic!
My uncle has hunted about everything with everything and he now only bow hunts.
Thanks, I love Archery Hunting, so give it a try sometime brother!
I have several tool boxes, one in my work truck, one in my car, and one in my house. Each box has similar items as well as different tools depending on where it is kept. Excellent video, my friend.
Fantastic insight, different boxes for different missions...I LOVE it. Thanks for sharing my friend, I'm enjoying the feedback. All the best brother!
Great stuff! Much appreciated for the sport!
You're the Best, thanks brother!
100% my brother. Have a great Independence Day!
Thanks, you to brother!
Another fantastic video and wonderful explanation‼️‼️
Thanks, brother, I fully appreciate your support!
Good info! Nice set up you have there Paul!
Thanks, I've had great coaches the William's Sisters have 29 National & World Titles and they really helped my shooting...thanks for the feedback.
Excellent points to remember
Thanks brother
All excellent advice, my friend.
Thanks brother...sure appreciate your support
👍👍 whatever it takes to get your mind into the game!!
Thanks for the feedback...fully agreed with "whatever it takes" brother
@@Paulattheranch I do all kinds of goofy tricks to keep it interesting. Like putting thin branches or yucca stalks to have to miss by inches to get the hit I want. Turning the 3-d animal a few degrees. And the one I don’t like most is shooting in just enough breeze to make me really work on my “ windy day shot execution “.
Impressive accuracy ‼️
Thanks I do shoot a lot…and enjoy training
Awesome video
Thanks brother, be Safe, God Bless and Thanks for Watching!
I thoroughly enjoy reloading myself. I find it quite cathartic while making the most of my ammo fund.
Nice video, simple and to the point. One thing, I've always been taught is to never use loctite on rings because the loctite can change the torque pressure because of the lubrication it provides. I use vibra-tite, it doesnt interfere with the torque #'s.
Thanks for the comment, I've personal used it for many, many years and I've never had an issue with it, Loctite...thanks for watching and feedback brother.
@Paulattheranch @Paulattheranch if it ain't broke don't fix it right! I like the channel. I subscribed and am digging your other videos.
@@onebadjack1313 Thanks brother
This looks fun
Thanks for the support!
I like the " port side up " tip as it DOES make a lot of safety sense. GOD BLESS you as well sir. Having JESUS is far more important than having ANY firearm..... I'll take both!
Agreed, John 3:16 is my favorite verse...thanks for watching
Nicely Done! Thanks Paul
Thanks so much!
Excellent video my friend.
Thanks brother, your support is so much appreciated...be well.
Thanks.
Anytime brother
Can you please talk to Colt and get them the fix the horrible action of their thumb safety on their 1911’s? A number of years now almost all Colt 1911’s I handle the thumb safety does not click on/off. They are extremely mushy. The most recent is the Limited Edition Government model.
Understood, most of my 1911's have Stan Chen Thumb Safeties, which I love...thank you for the feedback
Hunter for you my brother
Great day in the woods
It was fantastic
Love this I want my own set up one day forsure
It's not that hard, however, consult with Dillon Precision who are real experts in the field of reloading.
@@Paulattheranch thank you I plan to soon.
Are the primers already in the shells and if so does that cost extra?
The old primers are taken out in station one, and a new primer is put in during station two...and yes primers costs more. The expense is brass or cases, powder, bullet-heads and primers.
@@Paulattheranch you da man Paul, thank you! Wasn't sure if if the brass was pre-primed or not.
Nice
Thanks brother
Excellent presentation my brother.
Hunter YOU ARE THE BEST, thanks for your support brother!
Love it!! Great stuff cuz!
Thanks brother, I'm enjoying this process...can't wait for Fall.
You’re ridiculous at this! I remember trying the 10/10/10 with you and couldn’t get across the line!
I remember, that was a great visit...thanks for watching
You won’t be disappointed
Never considered these before, Paul. Will look into them!
Brother thanks for watching and you won't be disappointed, with this product.
Thank you very much for the mention brother. I am enjoying your chainsaw related videos.
I love them as well...thanks for the support brother!
Thank you very much for the shout out brother.
Hunter YOU ARE THE Best...thanks for watching brother
@@Paulattheranch I love your channel and have shared it several times.
I have the same two Fiskaes myself. Excellent splitting axes.
Great tools, make for easy work, brother!
You and I are cut from the same cloth.
Agreed BROTHER!
Excellent advice my friend. Reloading can be a very rewarding hobby as well as a money saver.
Right on brother
Excellent advice to keep the cold from creeping in.
Glad it was helpful!
I made the cut on the video. Paul, you were always so professional and well informed on video.
You made the video better, as you always do, brother.
