Throw line and throw weights and techniques

[gand]

Used my line for the first time since the start of December. Couldn't get my branch after 4 shots so decided to put my harness then go again. Whilst putting it on my boss decided to have a go saying he'd not used a throw line in 2 years. The Bugger only got it first go!! Not happy to say the least

I love these things...so satisfying hitting anchor point then installing friction saver,rope etc from the ground...bought a new one today. £11 cheap as chips....will be tethering it with magic speed of course :thumbup:

 

hadn't seen the attachment where carabiner is - just for hanging on harness, or what?

was bugging me, so I googled it - says for quick rope attachment, can't see why it's worth hoisting the throwbag back up though if it's only girth hitched on

If its a tight crotch i hitch the throwline to my rope... if it's open "click" it's on..or you can double bag if more wright is required or if you want to bounce it up through branches.

great - thanks

 

bounce it up through branches - can see why people bother to construct a trigger for their bigshots, must save hours in the long run, although a lot of clutter for those who can hit accurate 80' one handed - the gifted few

When i'm in the money i shall get a Ropeknight just because i like the over engineering of it and it's a work of art plus i'm obsessed with throwlining:)

 

 

That will be money well spent Paul.

Not for everyone IMO. I'm very accurate up to about 80ft one handed. Can't throw with 2 for toffee.

 

 

That's quite good Adam. I'm very accurate with one hand or both, up to 8ft. 8-10ft is a bit hit and miss.

Anything over 10ft then the BigShot comes out!

You rate the Ropeknight Al? It's quite a Gadget...and comes with many modification bits and pieces:thumbup:

Shiney!

I've heard from Ian that you do indeed have a powerful right handed wrist action:p:p:D

 

 

 

Haaa.. Has he been telling you our sleazy sex stories again!

Tell me! Did he breath heavy down the phone whist telling you?

Lol Al, You have the most expensive throw weight that money can buy and you can't throw it?? Haaaa! Brilliant
