Black Co;
You're in the right place for your post and should get an answer. When you say "50-25-25" are you talking percentages?

I use a 40% 30% 30% but add a little kick to the but section by making my start and end loops 20%. This gives me a 12/10/8/6 taper without any extra pegs. Before anyone jumps me!! Yes it is aactualy a 20% 20% 30% 30% forumla!!
