I am looking at changing all my feeders over to the winch up style. I have been searching the web and getting ideas. About how high is the average feeder hang at ? What angle do you set the legs? I am thinking 15 to 20 degree kick and using 20' legs. Keeping the bottom of the feeder around 15-16'. Does this sound right?

I have 16' foot legs and now that I'm moving base camp I'm going to take the time to cut them down to 14'. **** near dangerous to try and stand yourself and it was another 20 or more cranks I needed to do every time to lower and raise the unit to fill. And in July every stroke counts!!! I will say this I just built my first stand and fill feeder and I think im going to stick with stand and fill from now on! Everything about it was easier.
