Big shot Tips

[DrewB]

I'm getting zero bro, I've seen it, it's very cool but if you need something now I'd just get the big shot + a trigger for it. Though the APTA is also quite good from TreeStuff..

No worries bud, thanks for trying. It'll be interesting to hear about it when it does come out!

What weight bag do you find best for shooting furthest but still getting back to the ground with bark friction?

Hevea line and 8oz 10oz bag- just let it use it's momentum to reach the ground then attach heavier weight(s) for manipulating it. I find if the bags any heavier you sacrifice too much height but wet day, nasty bark may totally change that. Is just take a 8 10 12 and 16 - the you've got all bases covered.

12 and 16 for me are the best combo for rerouting and shooting lines and getting a decent anchor.. I did say I had a 14oz bag for shooting with but realised it was a 12 after I posted..

The 16 is primarily just a routing bag and you can always slap a steel crab on the 12oz if you need the weight when its on the ground but I suppose not a problem if your using an SRT system although I still like a clear crown space for that as well,nothing more annoying than ivy and twigs in ascenders!

Here's my tip.

Cheers Drew and Matty. I've been using an 8 and a 16 so I'll get another couple to fill the gap. Got a trigger and a tie down strap for it, brilliant isn't it 👍

Shot plenty of t bags but usually at southerners

 

Ask Dave Humphries about how much a tea bag hurts when hit in the knackers.

You couldn't have been more correct if you tried Al👍 I was quite good with a throw line but this has made hitting real high ones easy!
