What's the longest you've spent throwing a throw bag?

Just spent 45 mins today. Still didn't hit my target and had to settle for some dodgy dead branch and round the trunk, then shimmied up it like I was going to collect coconuts. And now my nuts are aching.
 
Anyway, do catapults make this any easier or is that just a different way to be frustrated?

In my limited experience catapults make getting a good anchor easier, but the temptation is to go for an amazing anchor because you have a catapult so can end up in the same position or belting your throw bag through several trees.

Mattyf sorted me out with a APTA which on the few jobs I have used it for has been excellent.

I spent ages i mean aaaaages practising with a 10oz throw weight,couldnt hit a barn door and gave up.

Recently i used a 14oz and im doin much better with my shots,gettin 30 footers within a couple of shots.

Got it caught up in lime today though...

:banghead:

Perhaps going up weights could help others who struggle to throw
