So lads, something weird happened to my throwline today. Wonder if anyone can shed some light on it.

 

Storm damaged ash to start dismantling today. Was going to spike up and set my line, but it was a nice open crown and I thought what the heck.

 

Hand threw a line straight over the anchor point I was going for around 60' up.... And here's the weird bit:

 

 

EVERYBODY WAS WATCHING!!!

 

Bit confused as it's never happened to me before. What do I do now? Get a MEWP in?

I would like to add, I practiced for a couple of hours Sunday morning and low and behold I have improved. However my shoulder feels like a truck has hit it, hopefully it won't take 2 hours to hit the mark next time I need to use one.

Thanks for all the advice it is greatly appreciated.

You run with the glory and keep throwing. Iv got a three throw rule. If I get my target within three throws, it's going to be a great day. Any more, I'm grumpy😒
