-: Hey, I am David Draper with Petersen's Hunting.
And I'm here with Brandon Maddox from Silencer Central.
If you don't know what Silencer Central is, you should
because they got a cool product and a really cool service.
Selling suppressors, silencers,
whatever you wanna call them, noise mitigation devices.
What you do, Brandon is very cool,
but I wanna talk more about,
shooters know what suppresses are.
Suppressor are very popular in the market.
I think maybe hunters aren't quite grasping it yet.
Maybe prairie dog shooters and those kinda guys,
but guys like, I'm a deer hunter,
why do I need a suppressor?
What is the benefit of a suppressor?
-: Yeah, good question.
So, obviously,
one is the recoil reduction. David: Mmh.
-: Sometimes people don't think about that,
which is a benefit. David: Yeah
Brandon: And then also typically
hunting is a social sport.
So, if you're hunting with other people,
it's hard to communicate if you both have earplugs in.
David: That's a very true point.
Brandon: Yeah, so you're gonna have the, you know,
these are all hearing safe for your bigger caliber rifles.
You know, the benefit too is if you shoot and were to miss,
then you actually don't have to change locations.
Typically they're still there,
sorta enhances that experience.
-: Yeah that's one thing I've noticed with suppressors
when I'm hunting is
sometimes the animals react very differently.
-: Yes.
-: They mitigate the sound enough
that they're confused by it almost.
They're still going to hear it.
It's not silent. -: Right.
-: It's not silent.
You will maybe have a follow-up shot that you might not get
if you miss with an unsuppressed riffle.
Brandon: Yeah, hundred percent.
I'll see scenarios where you shoot and maybe the bullet
drops behind them and they'll come around towards you.
Cause they couldn't tell where it came from.
David: Exactly, so that's another good benefit.
And also I think we just need to be conscious.
I've been shooting my whole life.
I'm ringing in my ears right now.
I'm a tinnitus guy.
And I think for our youth and our young hunters,
I think if you're not having your child or young hunters
shoot suppressed, you need to.
Brandon: Yeah exactly, I mean, that's really popular.
Especially work shows, Father son come up,
they like the idea of creating the trust,
putting the son in it.
They both could use it.
Like you said, it helps them recoil.
So they maybe could shoot a bigger caliber
than they're used to.
David: Excellent.
And I think, you know, when you're
in a blind at the young hunter, you know,
mentoring them, there's some instructions,
you gotta go back and forth and you have earplugs in,
it might be difficult to do.
This way you can have your suppressor
not have to wear hearing protection
and you can have those communications back and forth.
-: Yeah, hundred percent.
And also we find hunters get more comfortable shooting
just because they don't have the recoil
and they have to wear the ear protection
and then they get better shooters.
So then they're more effective in hunting overall.
-: And I've noticed that me personally when I shoot,
sometimes I get a little flinch
and I don't get it from the recoil, I get it from the sound.
I get a flinch from the noise.
-: Yeah, totally.
And you know, a lot of people forget too.
It helps accuracy having a little extra weight
on the end of the barrel almost works like a bull barrel.
So you're gonna get a little bit tighter grips,
better repeatability.
-: Very, very good point.
You're also a manufacturer of suppressors.
-: Yeah exactly.
So, you know, being a dealer, we can sell anything.
-: Yeah.
-: But also sort of our mantra is how do we keep it simple in
the simplest way is to have inventory on the shelf.
Not have to worry about going through a wholesaler or
another manufacturer.
So you're right we have our own line of products.
The Banish products. -: Yep.
-: Our newest one is the Banish 46.
-: And that's this one right here, right?
-: Yes, sir.
-: So what's that one for?
-: Yeah. Good question.
So this could be for your straight-wall cartridges.
And also think of it for your big-bore.
that's gonna work a 338 as well.
-: Yeah.
-: It will even work on a pistol.
So it's kind of a one for everything if you will.
-: Yeah, so the guys in the straight-wall cartridge world
that have to shoot those,
they can go with something like this.
-: Exactly.
It's becoming more and more popular in States
for deer hunting.
And it's also modular so you can make it shorter.
It's a 100% titanium, comes apart to clean.
-: It's super light weight. -: Oh yeah, totally.
And it's the quietest 46 on the market.
-: Yeah, and something for that size.
And then also I see this one here.
This is the Banish 338, am I correct?
Brandon: Yes sir. You got it.
David: So the guy for that Magnum cartridge,
he's really gonna like this.
-: Totally.
So you know, it's not that many 338 options out there,
but I have one that's a 100% titanium
and it comes apart to clean, it's beautiful.
I envision guys are gonna be buying this.
They wanna use it on the 300 Win Mags.
You know, that's sort of the hotter calibers too.
-: Exactly.
-: So then they have something for their 30-378, 308,
300 Win Mag, and then also 338 as well.
-: And you mentioned super easy to clean.
So basically you're just taking this apart right?
-: Yep. So the front end comes apart.
-: Yep.
-: The baffles slide right out.
You can throw them into a cleaner
and then put them right back in.
-: And you guys sell... when I got my suppressor,
it came with the tool to pull this right off-
-: You got it. Yes sir.
-: Everything's there so,
perfect. -: Absolutely
-: Well guys, these things are on the market right now.
You just introduced them yesterday.
-: Yes sir.
-: So get out there silencercentral.com,
get the process started.
You make it simple,
and you'll have a suppressor at your door in no time.
