Throw Bags

[aquatoo]

Lots of you on here have plenty of experience with throw bags. What do you reckon is the highest you have been able to throw a bag with any sort of accuracy?

[Marc]

25m at a push 15m-20m accuratly, working on a tree over 20m is pretty rare in the UK so hand throw is all I need.

[Mark Bolam]

If I go higher than that Marc it tends to be in the wrong tree.

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I regularly hand throw a bag about 350m.

 

However this is either soaring 10ft off the ground, straight into a fruit tree or it goes straight up, landing right next to me..

 

 

I'm an embarrassment to the sport of hand throwing.

I asked because recently I tried to throw a line into the top of a Maritime Pine - which only have branches at the top - and couldn't get anywhere near it. I reckon it was 20 - 25m high.

 

Compound bow and a very heavy arrow next time!

Please post videos of this and some of the other throwers as well please, I want to learn from the best... Anyone who can throw 350m is my hero

 

(I'm too old for this really and throw like a girl due to a shoulder injury)
