Howdy. Being a fellow short steel bending fanatic as well, I have been stumped on making the jump to the Red Nail. Have broken the Gr. 5 barrier, and can tackle 5.5 inch and 5 inch blue nails easily. But 7" 5/16 eludes me, no matter what. Would it be possible/appropriate to ask for a point or two. I know I am missing something, and I am not sure what. If it helps, my chosen bending style is DU, and I have tackled all of the above and beat them with both the DU and DO styles, and am built like a gorrilla (very long arms - 5'10" tall with a wingspan of just over 6'5").
