Big shot style?

[benedmonds]

Mine hopefully arrives tomorrow, along with a rope wrench... Recent threads on Arb talk have been costly..

 

Reckon I might have found a use for those hundreds of golf balls I picked up!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Done. I'll be buying one at FR Jones' tomorrow morning.

I agree Benedmonds. I've spent a flipping fortune since finding Arbtalk!

Does anyone burn their fingers with throwline? I keep on doing it despite trying my hardest to not let the line run through them. Wondering about upgrading to a catapult!

 

Gloves Pete! They do have their uses you know! I always set one off without, then don't forget to put them on for the rest of the week...

I have seen footage years ago of a double big shot. That looked fun. If you want to gain extra height build a trigger mechanism & shift to a smaller bag & filament line

[Pedroski]

Gloves Pete!

 

That's just what I do - chuck the throwline, burn my fingers then put gloves on Stoopid! Funny thing is, mate of mine (an experience arb) hadn't used a throwline at all before. He kept his gloves on, chucked the line but didn't release properly and burnt straight through the the glove and got a burn on his finger

I don't throw with gloves on and have never burnt my fingers. Got a bigshot in the truck and it's rarely used

I use that horrible nylon 3 strand type stuff... I heard they use bare handed throwlining as a method of extracting information at 'Gitmo....

[Canal Navvy]

Ok, that was slight fabrication of the truth.

 

But this is fact -

 

The British Army are currently carrying out a plausibility study into wether or not the Big Shot can be used to fire grenades over long distances.

 

So far the tests have revealed the furthest a grenade shot from a Big Shot was a distance of 16500 miles before exploded in mid air 15 miles outside the Earth's atmosphere.

 

 

I think you may need to talk to Hama about fungus ID

[Peter]

Never wear gloves for throwlining, rarely burn my fingers, never use a Bigshot.

[High Scale]

Yeah but you're a pro!
