I agree it's the Indian, not the arrow.

I still use old ABU 1750's, or even "newer" Shimano 250 Bantams (that are 25 years old), rather than the newest shimano bait casters. Just becasue I liek 'em...just like guys who like Mdl 12's. BUT, in general the newer reels have better a better drag as well as internal precision built parts.

Just like shotguns. A Perazzi (or other proven competition gun) will generally perform longer without maintenance, than a Mdl 12. Mdl 12's were the best at one time, but there's better guns out there now. Not knocking a Mdl 12 at all, but I'm pretty sure it's been a long time since a Mdl 12 won the handicap at the Grand. I'll stick to Perazzi's for games.

Lock time, trigger tuning....do you shoot stock triggers in all your nice custom built-up rifles? If so, good for you. But I need a FAST trigger(crisp 24oz preferably), especially at 27 yards.
