Good times... my 4 ball Hyperdog / 'Little Shot' arrived today...!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

 

Unfortunately I've been tucked up in bed like a little fairy boy with a poorly tum so not had a chance to try it out yet :blushing::blushing::001_rolleyes: However it definitely looks like the solution I've been after.... :thumbup1:

 

Thank you Paul T from Glasgow, you may have started a new 'thing'... :biggrin::biggrin:

I ordered the sling also. I hope to use it with a rubber handball as the the throw weight. Maybe force a spring clip, tied to a short throwline loop, into a small cut in the ball, then clip in to my target line with that. I figure if that does not work out my dog will be a happy camper anyway!

My dog wants me to fail... :lol:

 

Is a rubber ball a good idea..? Will it not bounce off any limbs it hits...?:001_huh:

 

 

 

 

This is becoming a movement.... :lol:

I just made the throw ball. It helps to fill the ball with silicone sealant or goop glue before inserting the wire clip with tied loop attached. It may be better to just have a short line attached to the ball in this way rather than a loop.

 

Ah, got you. I suppose what we call Gripfill over here would do the trick, I don't think it's very bouncy....:thumbup1:

I've had a little play with this now, initial results with a standard 10oz throw bag were disappointing in hand held mode, but hooked over the top of a telescopic painting pole exhibited great promise....!

I'm going to have a better fiddle this weekend, I think what I may end up coming back here with is a 30 quid Big Shot style contraption..... Whatever happens it's going to save me a load of bother!!!
