I hear ya!!! and if it works "Why fix it" were all different (and that is a good thing) You make some good points, I guess I have just been lucky the other way, like I said in a earlier post some of the guys I hunt with swear by it,, we get into some good (heated) discussions about it (and were still hunting together). I sometimes think we get so used to doing things our own way we can't change, but Hay!!! wouldn't the world be a dull place if we all agreed, Good Hunting to ya Doc
