For me, a suppressor is kind of like an exhaust on a bike. For us, it’s backpressure . . . it’s everything. You take that exhaust off the bike and it runs like crap. . . For me, a suppressor is kind of the same thing. It’s a cleaner, more fun form of shooting.” -Ernie Vigil SilencerCo has been doing a bangup job at highlighting athletes and celebrities from other genres that are also into suppressed shooting. Joining others like Dave Castro, Cam Zink, and the Godfrey brothers is Ernie Vigil. Here's what they have to say about it: Pro Stunt Bike Rider Ernie “EDUB” Vigil is known for being a lot of things: daring, creative, precise, driven . . . but loud is not one of them. Ernie broke the silence to become the newest member of SilencerCo’s #FightTheNoise campaign. As a kid growing up in Albuquerque terrorizing the neighborhood on his Honda® Z50 Christmas Special, Ernie dreamed of being able to ride for a living. Fast-forward to 2016, and Ernie is now one of the most sought-after stunt riders in the industry, performing for thousands and acting as a stunt double in Hollywood. Watch our latest #FTN installment to see EDUB do what he does best. To join Ernie as a member of The Suppressed, add your voice to our #FightTheNoise Movement. Check out the video below: You can visit SilencerCo online here More about SilencerCo: Born and bred in the land of the free, SilencerCo started life when two men in a garage machined, welded, and shaped their dreams into reality. They had one core belief: Guns don’t have to be loud. Now in its sixth year of existence, SilencerCo makes more silencers than anyone else in the market. Yet our secret is simple – we care. We care about each silencer leaving our facility. We care about the shooters and their hearing. We care about our employees, and we care about our role in the American economy. We’re shooters, too – and we know how hard it can be to find durable equipment that performs. Our silencers have been shot, stripped, torqued, and blasted – and we constantly search for ways to make them quieter, more durable, lighter, and shorter. We set the bar high for quality and innovation – because in the end, that’s all that matters. We created the first non-round pistol silencer with the Osprey, we created the quietest and easiest cleaning rimfire silencer with the Sparrow, and now manufacture the only commercially-viable, fully-modular shotgun silencer in existence with the Salvo.
