[Rhodes22-list] Laz leakage another reply to Rory

[Rory Orkin]

I could set up something like a dodger but it is just more to fool with and I
would like to avoid it.
On the other hand, then I would have a dodger. With the wind I have though,
I don't know if it might get ripped off and become a problem. I think you
are on to it with the bow more level or down slightly.
