Excellent. There's a reason some people call them "game gauges".

And the pic of the hatch edge i put in to show how good/bad it is. For how it is it is nice. But for a kamm its bad. Because is goes slightly up on the trailing edge.
True, that "up kick" at the edge isn't ideal, but still worth adding to at some point.

Keep us posted on your progress!
