It's a fine line. The true sportsman sees it in black and white with absolutely no gray area. The guy skirting the edges and slightly stepping out of bounds in order to win more than likely has some gray area between the black and white. I will do what I can to make my handles when they are suppose to be made. The only time I skirt the issue, and to some it may be a case of stepping over the line is if I am on top, really laying the wood and the scratch is on you. I am not going to make a handle that helps you more than it does me. My first responsibility is the welfare and well being of my dog. I am not going to take an advantage away from him that he worked so hard to gain. In this case I will skirt the 'rule' and pretty much let you know to pick up. EWO
