Re: Aiming Theory Questions

Yes, Pat, that's completely true.  It's honestly not a matter of "suit
myself", its just how I think I guess.

Take a look at the diagram I posted on my other post on this thread
showing a half ball hit.  I'm curious what you think.  By what you are
saying, its isnt really a half ball hit.  I guess I was just thinking
about it the wrong way.  In either case, the system really doesnt work
for me, and I'll take a look at some of the ones you suggested.

Again, thanks for the feedback.  I've trolled this board for awhile,
and always enjoy the Johnson/Jewett/Shepard posts.
