For perspective....My mx quad never sees 5th gear on a motocross track, but if it wasn't jetted properly and when i rode it around a field it popped and farted in 5th gear only..i still wouldn't be happy with its setup.
That is exactly right, it is all about confidence. If all turkeys ran in and strutted to 25 yards, we'd all be golden! But when that moment arrives and you need a 50 yard gun, It'd sure be nice to have it! I hope I never shoot one over 30 yards, but I'd like to know I can if I needed to.
