copemech Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 It all changes when you put it between the markers! Walk the sections well, learn them and find your line! Concentrate on your line and adjust as neccessary! The GOOD line is about three inches wide in many cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
