“The whole “fit and feel” issue dominates the forums, with every third question being “what should I use with my ..” – so I’m in good company. I’m just disappointed that every other response involves someone’s mother – making the learning process painstaking slow as chaff is sorted from wheat, and opinions are isolated from ego.” Singlebarbed on Spey Kungfu
The how to’s of this endeavor are difficult to sort out. Mr. Barton touches on the core issue for many a novice entering this new arena….the inner circle seemingly holds the keys to the kingdom of knowledge and are hesitant to share. The why’s are another issue. The reality is unless you know someone (I have been fortunate to know Matt McCrary, who graciously endures novices) it is likely you will waste considerable money and time before feeling the right outfit is in your hands. The forum world can be pretty daunting as novice offends alpha’s. Singlebarbed tries to help with that learning curve to make a better, informed decision.
