Lol you got that right. Reach is important in a fight.

I was just thinking about any advantage in fighting. Would a big wide rack be better or something like this brute has? I tend to think that if there is adequate power in the legs I would want that tall rack because it would get inside and perhaps have a better chance at doing some face damage. On the other hand, swinging around a wide rack would probably have its advantages as well.

You didn’t see it last year, or did what pan out? I didn’t find him again this year.

I must have missed it last year. I just remember the original post. To bad you couldn't track him down again.

Gonna start my late season Monday, pics like that are getting me pumped up :tup:
