    I've been shooting black clouds since 2007... I'm still in love.

    I'm actually kind of impressed with blind side. The wad opens up nicer than black cloud's wad. Gramps is all over them and I haven't converted.

    I have only been through 3 or 4 boxes of black clouds but am distinctly unimpressed. Cant recall any downing any 40-50 yarders that the side of the box practically guarantees.

    Personally I think if you have good enough blinds / deeks / calls then you should be able to get plenty of ducks within 30 yards. And at that range there is next to no difference between ammo brands. So go with the cheapest #2s you can find - no need for 3.5 inches either!

    With a beard like yours tony they must die when you just look at them wrong. I should grow one myself.

    I can honestly say kents are just a higher quality shell compared to experts. Probably closer in quality to supremes but anyways experts will do ya just fine.

    The absolute best thing you can do is pattern your gun like mentioned. Some wads and chokes don't mix well and you'll see first hand which shells is best for your gun. You may be surpised.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    LOL..
    I know! Im goin' chepo this season. Honestly when i was using them on Ducks the first time around i was learning to duck hunt and duck shoot. I was using better shells to compensate for a lack of skill and knowlage. Not that in a super pro now but i dont get as excited when the birds are coming in. I can "Stabalize" myself better now!
