I thought about this after I posted.

When we competed at Ruckus and would try to line up and take shots, we would just turn REALLY slowly and hope we got a controllable speed and didn't overspin when we stopped. This would have been much easier had we had a low gear. Low speed and controlled movements. It would have helped us out A LOT.
