i have really enjoyed my new hobby... Now i think i'll work on some black-tip and m72 cloning... Soon as i find a thousand yds... i can do some consistent 600's now and that should do for developing...

my M1 has one, 5.1lb pull according to the gauge we used... my M1a's is 4.8ish... Both are great glass rods...
