 Diamond files? Are those legal? ::)  Just kidding, I like a little, flat one or a half round one. ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

yup thats what i do to Jesse
before i started abraiding in the notch i couldnt get them nearly as far before they stalled out
they still stall out but it seems like i cant 3-4 flakes deeper before that happens
