i had started a thread a few weeks ago maybe, looking for a source for featherests. among the helpful replies was one from "yournoc" (david conroy) offering to send me one he had made for free, which i recieved today. he doesn't make them for "the masses," so to speak, and i felt it was a very kind gesture on his part, and wanted to say "thank you." seems indicative of the majority of the guys on this site to go the extra mile to help out another trad shooter in every way possible. it is appreciated.
