On this episode of the Migration Waterfowl Podcast, your host Brian Halbleib talks with Ben Meyers, owner of Flight Day Ammunition. They discuss how Ben got started in waterfowl hunting and his earliest memories of the hunt. Ben talks about his family property in Missouri that he grew up duck hunting on and the management of the habitat he still does there to this day. He also discusses the challenges of starting an ammunition company, how he has scaled it and the nuances between bismuth and steel shot. Ben offers insights into the ammunition market, including the rising costs of bismuth and the impact of Chinese production. Ben shares some memorable hunting experiences along with common mistakes new hunters make. They also discuss the importance of patterning your shotgun and the ongoing 'velocity war' in ammunition marketing. You can learn more about Ben and Flight Day Ammo here: https://flightdayammo.com
