Wow John! I'm glad that one of us broke through into the 11's today. You have that Vig 2800 working REALLY well. It was enough to beat my best 60' of the day w/ the Vig 3200! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> Congrats on the great pass.

Trevor-

Thanks. With the Vig2800 working so well I am not sure weather going to the Vig3200 will give me much of an improvement. What do you think?

Congrats on the 11's.

The first time you break into them... is a killer feeling. You never want to run another 12!

Congrats again.

I think that there's up to .1 in upgrading to the Vig 3200. I'd definitely do it if I were you. You'll only have quicker to go. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
