faulknerwn 36 #27 March 20, 2003 Quote What I meant was that for those CREW dogs out there who do jump round reserves exclusively... I think (Hookit please correct me here) that some of the newer rigs do not have manufacturer approval to install and pack round reserves in them... [/reply> There's very few of those out there anymore however. The only CRWdogs I know who have a round reserve are those who are jumping old gear and can't afford a square. The slight benefits you can get by having a round don't outweigh the negatives of a round in my opinion.

Of course the Infinity is even more clever because Kelly does it without an extra seam.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
