Looking good and organized. Love it when a hunt is on the edge of cold front. Good luck Lambo!

Kent fast steal are good shells. I've shot them a little this season and they work great.

I absolutely SOAKED my kents on my walk in hunt, and they were in my pocket which was sitting under water for a good while. They are now designated as range only shells because one fizzled and went "Puh" when I pulled the trigger. I should have listened a whole lot closer to Jehler when he was saying they weren't waterproofed. HEED THAT WARNING.
Other than that, if they stay dry, I like them.

Mine have been dropped and have sat in the water for a while and they shot fine.

Lots of people have sky dived (dove?) without any problems either. But that one time that there is an issue...

only in guns!! i hunt with flamaus, and have a $30 field and stream jacket that has lasted for 3 years!! i am of the mindset that "if you shoot a decoy, i dont give a damn. just make sure you hit the bird."
and that goes for all my decoys except my spinners.....

I'd cry if someone swatted a $100/6 decoy. If you demolish a $2.50 hot buy, then I guess you buy the first round that night.

I sold 4 dozen at a garage sale this spring for 40 dollars. I bought them used cause try came with slotted bags, kept the bags and sold he blocks. Looked like carnival clown ducks. Are you sure we are talking about the same company?
