update... no hits today...my perception was terrible...did two with two pull ups... and one I took out a cone.... Not quite the old bass boat

if you did 90 degree back-ups with two pull ups....that's pretty darn good supertrucker!

Proper setup is the key. Lots of times, there is limited distance between the front of your 'alley' and your 'swing space'. This is when things get hairy.
There is a utube vid that's pretty good where the guy puts a roll of duct take about 35 paces from the edge of the alley spot. He would then pull up till his drivers window is even with the tape. Seemed to work pretty well. Question is, given all the room in the world, how far do you guys like to set up from the front of the space? I.E., out from the space, not left or rightjungledrums Thanks this. -
