Ya know ol dave God rest his soul. he was going to import some fiori rings and we were having talks, there may be a thread about it somewhere. I would like to get at least one of those rings. One thing about rings for negative ringing is how the rigging running line can find it's way in between the tree and ring edge and caution needs played so it's not catastrophic like rope failure comes to mind, especially working with big pieces. The angle of the dangle means a whole lot sometimes. FIORI whom I respect and love what he does on boobtube shows another video on that ring which ways to reeve the line as opposed to the old host sling round the outside and running line through the ring, some of the ways a rope and ring could cross load or become disoriented during the action should be noted . I've came to find pure blocking down wood best served with a sweet arb block because it protects the line on the sheeve better it seems. I know it could be a minor thing in practice most often and rings are so light compared to my impact block, but after lots of tries it's making more sense for me.
