No, use a slip hitch!

take a bight through the eye, hold in either hand, swing inbetween your legs and let go at the right moment. only you will know when to let go, and you will find that out on the 12 throw. after you have deadwooded next doors tree. For free.

Get your spikes ready to go and retrieve it once you get it stuck. Then once you have it back put the throw bag on your climbing line and put the string in a box. Oh and if you have an astra van put the boot down because my mate smashed his back window in.

I was trained to throw it using the bight-through-the-ring-method described and it works...sometimes...

 

My instructor informed us that there was a golden rule of throw bags called the 'Three Times And F*** It Rule', ie, if you can't do it in three attempts try something else.

 

Mind you, when he wasn't looking, I'd throw it over-arm and get it every time. Heh-heh. Result.

Get a Jamesons 8ft pole and a BIG SHOT. Last week I was getting 60 plus feet (nearer 70ft) high anchor points from the ground (in only a few attempts). Great piece of kit and great fun to use. Ask Mr Tana Mahuta????
