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!

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 👍

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!
