Throwlining

[Rupe]

Empty your mind of all thoughts! Cliche I know but its true, the more distracted you are the worse you get, especially if you miss and try harder you just get worse. If you miss you need to try less!

i alway have a first lucky throw, and if that does not work then it normally take about twenty minutes to get the branch that i want. If all else fails i resort to the bag of rods with the hook!

I swing it 1 handed on my right hand side with a loop through the ring. I find that if i swing it more then about 5 times I end up throwing it about 15ft too high

I prefer the more flexible method of under target and over throw on hieght if i fail its just a case of pulling it back over the extra branches (slowly) till it drops over them and leaves me just the target limb/crotch

If all else fails, buy a Big Shot!

Does anyone use a small sling? Would be interested to know if any work (not the big shot)

big shot. takes bit of practise i had 12oz bag hit truck screen on my 2nd go somehow it didnt break just left nice imprint we saw on the way home.

Nice steady swing, not to much force, release the string just as your hand is pointing just above your target. Give yourself time, if you miss just be patient, make minor adjustments in your position/stance, and it'll go..........eventually.

I hardly use them but when i do, if i am being a bit girly and worry about getting it stuck or something it goes hay wire, if i just go for it i nail it, i did a peach a few months back, was just short of 70 feet and for me thats HUGE, with a tiny wee fork. The spikes stayed in the bag that day:lol:

 

I also have got the bag, string and plastic reel stuck about 30 feet up once before i got a cube:blushing:
