#156915 - 11/07/11 11:46 AM Can good equipment make up for lack of skill
ppine member Registered: 01/10/10 Posts: 184 Loc: Minden, Nevada	There is a lot of discussion on this forum about equipment, and many of us have had periods when we turned into gear heads. These days I am not concerned about equipment much at all. Why is the latest equipment important? How can it overcome a lack of skill and experience?
