Re: Drop Center Distance

We had 0.78" of drop this year and a combination of performance and kit wheels, and were quite stable for making shots.

We had 8 8" wheels (plus 2 4" wheels that only saw duty on a few obstacles).

Even with 6 wheels, you can improve stability for shooting by having your CoG either clearly ahead or clearly behind the center axle.
