6 am. & 7:45 pm. right now...and we bow season only opens i set it right at shooting light and the last 45 mins. of daylight in the evening....i dont like to sit more than an hour during bow season....too darn hot!

I'm feeding at 0630 and 2015

Yep, same here. But I do feed year round. When the days start getting shorter I change the times.

7am and 7pm at the moment. As it gets closer to season I will be tweaking the times to get closer to within 30 minutes of daybreak and 1.5 hours before sunset.

This is how I do it...

The right time. Everytime. Consistent. No guess work.

You don't have to change anything on your timers when the time changes. If it fed at sunrise yesterday it will still feed at sunrise today regardless of the time change so long as you don't mess with it. If you leave the alarm clock at the lease alone you will still be getting up an hour (or however long you want) before daylight. Works a whole lot better for me than running around resetting 12 or 13 feeders. I have a watch attached to my bow and I don't reset it either.

I set the feeders to go off at 7:30 and 5:00. After this thread and a little more research I may change to 7:00 instead. Lots of different folks (family, friends, occasional poacher) hunting the stands so if they are all set the same it is easier to remember.

6 & 6
In sept I will change it to 7 and 5 and leave it that way for the season.
