Tall guys have a great advantage over us vertically challenged folks. At 6'4", your overhead reach is at least a foot higher than mine is. I need to give gravity a little assist, and that can mess up your accuracy. I don't like to aim at the edges, I think that's dangerous. On big rounds I try for the center on the far side, one in the direct center then one in the center on the near side, all in a line. Sometimes it pops on the second shot. That's the idea, anyways. I'm no Quads, I rarely get them perfectly in line.

Once the round is halved, I can usually go to an axe for the rest. Of course, I don't deal with those honking big rounds I see some of you scroungers drag home. That's wedge-n-sledge material to me.
