I ran a Retay through it's paces during duck season last year for a week. Retail salesman brought a couple down. Was the 3" bottomland camo. Light and pointed very well and did what it was supposed too. I am a hard core SBE1 man and lefthanded. Mine has 4-5 cases of 3" steel run through it a season and has for 20+ years. Yes I maintain very well and you have too in the salt marshes of NC. Would I shoot a Retay? Yes! Am I going to buy one? No! SBE1 is the cream of crop for "ME"! Lasting over time in harsh conditions is what concerns me about the RETAY. Just My 2 cents....


If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!!!!!!!!!
