As a newbee myself to feeding, I found the Texas Hunter to throw out a lot more than what I was by hand feeding. I am sure this is a big variable between each person. Like Dave, who can afford to feed as much as they want? I throw enough out that they seem to hit it pretty hard for a few minutes and it's mostly gone. They will then pick away at it here&there for the next ten minutes of what's left. For the most part, I only do 1 second, but my stocking numbers were light. Don't forget, unused feed will add to possible unwanted FA or other.
