Sorry Cooksey,
Not ignoring any of your posts, just haven't received mine yet to give you a true and honest opinion. Hopefully within the week, I know Excaliber drilled his Animal but don't know if he's played with the surface yet.
Based on just the info about the Animal, taking it down to a 1000 should smoothen out the look a little bit(grab a little sooner and strong continuous arc vs strong snap).
