Default RE: Almost Sod-Rocketed Her Today

I use a combo of rudder and ailerons on final, basically point the nose with the rudder and keep the wings level as much as possible.  I try to turn into the runway as flat as I can, and use a long approach to bleed off airspeed so that when I cross that last row of corn I can set it down as close to the end as possible so I dont have to worry about overshooting the other side.  The one we fly off of is about 400 feet long at the most.
