I just bought one and tried it out of curiosity. I don't even see the dang thing when I shoot. The one I got is reversible...tried the green and red side. If you already smacking them, I say don't waste the money.

that sob can shoot period! It really is amazing. He shoots a modified choke with 2 or 1 shot. He said he just leads them about 6 foot and when he hits 1 he just leads them all the same distance and he rarely misses. He missed 1 about telephone pole high and he said it was to low for him that's why he missed. I watched him last monday shoot one so high that when it hit the water it's breast was split, and that was with a plain modified choke with 2 shot and it was stone cold dead before it hit the water.

Not enough room for 2 exceptional shooters in one blind, so he never takes us at the same time....

lol!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember how high that widgeon was that you killed. Take that and add about another 30 yards that's how high he was killing them suckers. Some of them suckers took at least 3-6 seconds to make it to the water.
