As it seems you get flamed for about anything on this ite anymore, I'll go for it!
I use bore cutting a lot anymore. I had a large Oak, 36" DBH that I was felling. Had about a 12deg. lean from 90. I made a smallish face and did the backcut. I barvercharied like a mofo with a small gust of wind!! I should have made a bigger face, and bored in and cut out. I was aware and scared, so I didn't get hurt.
Had I done a bore cut, as I should have, that fifteen feet of barberchair wouldn't have been and isue, or a fear!
Many on this site will tell you all the reasons why it's bad and not needed. But I sure use it a lot bucking, and there has been more than once that I have had to make a trip and show someone how to fell a leaner.
Practicewhile bucking, you have more control and you can learn how the saw will react while doing this without having to worry about what the tree is doing!
NO, IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE!!!!
But it certainly is a tool that can save ones backside in a bad spot!
