Jerry; I'm not a stocker, but I've had lots of them bent. From what I've been told, it is impossible to turn the toe out in a twisting like fashion. If the tip of the toe is digging into your chest, you might consider adding more 'down' pitch. That would likely solve the problem. If you bend it, I would think you would have to 'cast off' quite a lot to move the toe out where it wouldn't dig in to your chest. And if you don't require gobs of cast off, that will ultimately be a problem too.

Socialism is almost the worst.
