And I know now some of the helpers that are listening and the handlers that are listening for sure are going like, whoa, going too strong at the dog.

How do you feel about the half-sleeves and anything else besides the normal sleeve for the long bites? Do you ever use or do you advise? I will tell you my thing with it.
