Throw line and throw weights and techniques

[Mark Bolam]

I reckon personally about 60' with a decent degree of accuracy.

After 15 misses I've achieved over 300' in a random direction fit of rage though.

 

Don't have a big shot, I live in England.

How high do you reckon to be able to throw a bag, and what sort of height is achievable with a big shot?

 

100ft is throwable with practice. Big shots up to 180ft depending on bag weight, line weight and wind

I'd be mighty impressed to see that!

I didn't say I could, just that it's possible

I wasn't challenging you on it

I put a 180' length of zing it into a tree once, and both ends were off the ground......

[Mark Bolam]

Tree was 20'.

Biggest tangled ball ever.

What? Explain please:thumbup:

[Mark Bolam]

Don't do enough trees above 100' to justify one.

Rarely do much above 80' tbh, although I do live on Romney Marsh.

I find a big shot invaluable, even on small trees. This probably says much more about my skills with a throw-line than anything else. The big shot saves much time and heart-ache.

 

Money well spent in my case, but if you have any sort of degree of hand - eye co-ordination you might think differently.
