Snack Sticks - What's your preferred grind?

[spur60]

Spent the weekend making snack sticks and brats. 25 pounds of snow goose and 20 pounds of venison. Mixed in 5 lb of pork shoulder for every 10 pounds of game meat. I did a course grind then a medium grind. Flavor turned out great, but I'm not sold on the texture. Anybody forgo the medium grind in favor of just course grinding for sticks?

I just do a coarse grind, and they turn out fine

I only coarse grind my stuff anymore and I have no issues with it. I do usually run it through twice though. I grind the meat and then the fat. I then mix them in a tub to get them distributed more even and grind it again to get the fat mixed into the meat nicely.
