I understand about short-term and long-term goals. In the meantime, one hypothetically is not done learning a method until able to deal with calls. The calls in Stedman doubles are different in form from the calls in all higher numbers of Stedman (7,9,11,13), which follow a similar system, so that discourages some people. It would be good to shoot for a quarter at some point. If you were free to go to Orleans, I'd say throw caution to the winds and think about Stedman Caters, which would be remarkably harder than S doubles for someone at your experience level.
Treble bob hunting is a foundation for all treble bob methods, such as Kent and Oxford (which you might be able to learn fairly expeditiously in hand if you're OK at PB) and Surprise and Delight methods. As an exercise, treble bob hunting is very useful for handling and striking improvement. Without knowing fancier methods, being a reliable treble bob treble ringer is extremely useful in terms of being a team player. You know that I am hesitant to consider myself a Surprise ringer, although I can do some methods, but I am smug in my treble skills while other people are ringing the methods.
