Top movement during topping

I'm in the same boat as Frans, expensive targets and small landing zones are what I do best... I like doing precision work. It's a different discipline than logging but anybody that puts wood on the ground with a hand held saw makes the grade in my opinion.

About that top... that's just the right amount of sway to me, nice and smooth, plenty of deflection... those rides feel really good to me. I use wide 70 to 90 open face notches on tops like that unless I want them to jump. The ride is more sudden with jump cuts but it's still not bad.

The bad ride problem comes when you have to rig the top and your groundie is less than smooth at running the rope. I go small when I have to rig'em.
 
Oh yeah, the top I was talking about was Gary's... that palm is pretty wacked.
