For reference, how long have you been fighting? I don't mean to be insulting, I'm really just curious.

Not a critisizm, unless it becomes too heavy on the front. LOL But I like it. the 1/4 inch bars are thicker than we require, so the 3/8 are UBER beefy was my only comment. Not a concern, just a comment.
