I think we could all just go round with what first and last.. what feels right or not... how we were taught... Personally... I prefer to try everything and perfect it. I have the perfect (not that everyone does) classroom.. I get to do trees out in the middle of nowhere and not under anyones...
If you look at the saw..... there is a line drawn across the top and side of the starter housing... On Stihl ... On Husky its a line that is formed in the plastic across the filter housing and starter housing. This is the gunning sight... Line points to the direction of fall... or if you are...
Sites do work well on both cuts.. .I do often make my horizontal first to sight in well. I will also make a diagonal cut first often with a open face (birds mouth) cut as both ar diagonal. I do a lot of leaners as bull pines are high populous here. As is live oak. As far as felling accurately...
Pends on my "feeling" after I have read and talked to the tree and set up my fall line ... sounds funny I know ... But hey.. Its like sayin a prayer and things turn out alright....
Every tree is different......
