Right foot turn-over Andrew Bogrand, Sat Nov 7 15:33

While I know this has been an infinitly discussed topic on the forum, I could still really use some help in better understanding the action of the right foot turn-over before the block.

Winter Meets in Clermont DOC, Mon Oct 26 10:12

The NTC Clermont web site shows only one meet in January and one in May. This is not entirely true.

out of spec evanp, Sun Oct 4 04:31

Hamish's only rated spear was measured out of spec today, unfortunately on a PB. The COG has shifted back 4mm but the weight hasn't changed. I can only guess that a piece of lead in the point has come astray (can't hear a rattle though). Does this means de-glueing the tip to retrive the lead? It is a Nemeth 85m... more
