David, Ah yes! I noticed that, but considered because of what I was looking at, that that was original. Looking at it again, I see that the jack(s) are to far into the butt, and probably makes the let-off harder than intended. I would say the center line of the jack should be in direct line with the \/ of the butt. (the computer "\/" is steeper than the actual butt "point", but hopefully you get my point.<G) Thanks again, for the enlightenment.
