That’s pretty advanced stuff!

Well if you want a good laugh- here is my first 30 minutes on a long tail gunner. Planning to use the Sanford painting method and won’t have the truly long tail. It’s inspired by Sanfords Homer decoys and Blue Ribbon carvers pattern. Thankfully long tails aren’t that smart. Wanted to spend...
