Mike is one possibility that I left out. His booth was substantially smaller at PRI this year, and he was busy, so I wasn't able to talk to him.


I was actually talking to Billy Godbold about developing some of his new Low Shock lobe technology for Stock, in hopes of getting the spring pressure requirements down, and increasing reliability. We passed each other three or four times at PRI, but had no time to talk. I'm not sure Comp would even be interested in paying him to develop new lobes. I was hoping to get some time with him and discuss materials and surface finish, there may be some possibilities there. And that's what his consulting business is about.


I have been wondering if technological and material advancements wouldn't make it possible to build a better Shubeck style lifter. But I have not found anyone to talk to about it.
