Update on my Kenco Straight Shooter. The paddle that spins broke somehow after two seasons, so a bought another timer from Basspro for $40.00. It took only about 10 minutes to switch out to my 16 gallon drum. I don't know if they have improved the timer but it seems to work much better than the old one, throws farther and throws more feed.
Complaints are the same, preset to feed twice a day and a maximum of 17 seconds per feeding. But as a secondary feeder it is a good low cost feeder.
