Tom,

Full Extension of the Primary Lever occurs when the Left Wrist is fully Uncocked. Since we want Impact to occur just prior to Full Extension, the necessary Impact Fix alignment is Level.

Thanks Lynn

Fog crept in when I pondered the shortening of the primary lever that occurs when the left wrist cocks. I mistakenly assumed that the lever also shortened (from shoulder to sweet spot) when the left wrist uncocked. My error was in thinking that the lever was at maximum length when the wrist was level.

Best regards.
