oc et al: thang is, old gons contain old wood..old wood drys out and becomes more brittle over time...hit don take a rocket scientist to figure out that pounding old brittle wood with heavy recoiling loads is increasing the probability of cracking that old wood...so, lets all try to preserve old wood by babying our old gons...an like da rabbi said: "hit wont hout"...


keep it simple and keep it safe...
