You know, I was so focused on warning about FAA regulations, that I forgot to pay attention to warning people about gun safety stuff. Classic Brandt. To be fair, I've never handled a gun myself, so outside of making sure nobody is down range and people having hearing protection (mostly) there tend to be other issues I prioritize my focus on.

While I can't speak to all of it, at least with the sweep everybody's seen in the cold open of the episode, with these extra angles you can see that it's not quite as close of a sweep as it appeared, but of course, you don't even want to get remotely close so I think that criticism is still pretty valid.

In this FPE, you can see a little bit of Corey working through being on camera at times, since he's a bit new to it, but I think he handled himself well presentationally.

Some of the drone positioning was eased not only so Brian could reasonably hit it, but also frankly so we could catch it on camera. It's tough to follow a fast moving little target from somewhat far away, come to find out, but I think we landed on a good compromise.

As a quick aside, I'm pretty sure that I got poison oak exposure just after this shoot ended. I seem to have the worst luck with that. I took it pretty seriously this time though, and I scrubbed it down with poison oak soap just a few minutes after exposure. The worst of it seems to have been mitigated and I'm now mostly healed.
