Finally... The wrist shot!

After countless hours looking around, reading, watching, posting and emailing some great RF friends, I finally got my 5512. I'd like to thank my RF friends whose expertise and direction help me make this great purchase.

Thanks everyone! I have a small collection now so I'll put it in the rotation but I'll be enjoying it daily for a while anyway.
