RE: Newbie dropaway cord QUES
Well, given the fact Ohio State can't seem to beat Wisconsin anymore, you should actually feel sorry for them. Anyway, hope that works and good luck come hunting season.
PS - After I responded, I thought about what you said about play in the cord. You definitely need to make sure the rest is time properly (e.g. that you have sufficient "play" in the cord) before you serve the cord and cable and make sure you don't take away that play with the serving.
