Big Shot set up.

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Dowlings outdoor sports on eBay. I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Awesome bit of kit. Works best on a 6ft and 4ft Jameson pole for max range.

 

Hahaha. I just ordered one from there 5 minutes ago. Can't wait, although I don't have a 4ft pole.

I have just been wondering about the hassle of using it with 2x6ft poles:001_huh:

Will work fine but risk getting over excited and launching the throw weight into orbit!

Here in the states we can get a 2' extension to add to a 6' base pole.

 

8' total seem best for keeping your hands away from the firing pouch and rubbers.

 

For equestrian there are quick release panic snaps for a few dollars. They aren't as smooth as a trigger or sail snap but for the price I can deal with it.

Wow, it's been a busy two weeks!

First I got an archery trigger for my Bigshot, then I went to Barbados for a week (& got upgraded to Club on both flights).

When I returned home my Ropetek Sidewinder had arrived so I went to work, then came home again.

 

Now I've put this together:

The string I used is a bit thin but fits through the windsurf mast base.

The archery trigger is fantastic.

The little Prussik captures progress perfectly.

I feel exhausted!

Not my invention, Dan Holliday did it first.

This is just my version. Don't know if I'll use it next week as I've got short stuff booked in.

I knackered up my elbow last week using a bigshot. Pulling it backs no problem, it was the sudden release that sent a twang into my elbow leaving me taking ibuprofen and codeine for the rest of the week....its still not right.

Triggers are a good idea!

 

Best I could come up with to relieve this is to to ball up the finger pull.

So you grip a ball rather than tensioning your fingers to high hell.

The grip is similar to pulling a rope.

I can get you pic if you like. Really it is a just a ball of tape.

 

i also found my most accurate shots are with the 8'pole and shooting off the hip. Bit of an ouchy! for a bit more accuracy:001_huh:

All I need to improve things now is a Ropeknight.

mmm, I wonder?

Dan did bring it to the fore, but the system has been around for years.

 

If you are struggling for height, you could try micro filament & a smaller bag - I have seen it hit insane height

There good things, and nice work OMT.

 

This is mine, throw by hand when I don't need the max reach but its real handy for the long game. OMT, you'll like the knight just got one, expense little jigger but wouldn't go back. Now I only curse when I miss a shot.

 

Trigger is a filed down QR snap (hair baby). I had to save my money to throw a Traxion self capturing pulley on it. 2:1 is good.
