Welcome Bruce. And +1 on what Jeff Pack said. And BTW, just so happens I read your article regarding your current views on deep stops. In November 2015 you wrote "...After this I was using 40/70. The 70 drifted out to 75 or even 85 over time as I became more confident that the shallower first stop was making a difference." So I'm curious, is 40/85 still your go-to setting?
Cheers,
John
