Prepping for the Season w/ RYAN BURNETT of Pattern Pros | The GoHuntBirds.com Podcast

Yeah, for sure.

And I know, I mean, we've been kind of biased over the years.

We have been using canned cartridge for probably 10 plus years now.

And so I don't do a lot of patterning myself.

I mean, I've been using the same shotgun for many years, been using the same shells for many years.

But now this year, Kent Cartridge has kind of pulled out of Canada in a way where they don't have a distributorship up here anymore.

So now all the Kent Cartridge product is brought up through partnerships with Bass Pro and Canadian Tire and those kind of companies in Canada.

through different distributorships now.

So we don't really have that opportunity like we used to anymore.

And so we're on the fence right now.

We're looking to see, okay, so what should we do for shotgun shells? We have an opportunity to use and promote another brand.

We don't have the said brand in our hands yet.

So, I mean, the season's only a couple of weeks away now and we haven't even got any to try yet.

And I said, I said, you know, before we just jump on the next bus, let's, let's try to figure out maybe should we kind of circle back and see if we can find something that works better for what we're using.

Most of the guys that hunt with us use Benelli's, but again, like you said, each, each gun is different and each gun might pattern something different.

So, um.

You know, we're kind of in that no man's land right now.

I do have a lot of Kent cartridge shells left over from our previous engagement we had with them.

So that is what we'll shoot for now until it's kind of, you know, the cupboards are bare.

And I know I chatted with you when I was down in the U.S.

So you guys are an American company and you're... growing from what I can see quite quickly and fast across the country, but we don't have an opportunity like this in Canada for what you guys do.

So part of our conversation that we had when we were talking in person was how do we get your idea up here and do that way so we can get pattern pros into Canada? Is that been a conversation you've had?

Yeah, we have definitely started to, even before you and I had talked about it, it's something that we had started to talk about more and more.

I think the only reason we haven't is just, unfortunately, it's just like the red tape.

Yeah, the
