  1. so the secret ingredient, tungsten or bismuth?
  2. Anytime Thomas, anytime and maybe you can enlighten me as to the better throwing with the RK? cheers.
  3. Actually, they make perfect sense ( to me) , but it seems you can see no fault in your invention, and that is cool. I tried it, I just like the Harrison rocket better, it is a great, durable bag that I have gotten stuck only one time and if it bounces with more vim and vigour, I don't want it around my client's pricey goodies . anyways, I did say it is a good idea, and it will work for lots of folks, just not me. cheers man.
  4. Can I get them here? I like the Green one, Lou likes the red
  5. any time man and trusting myself is key, but nobody is perfect, hitting a limb or the trunk and having the RK bounce wildly is scary around pricey real estate, it will for sure do more damage in that scenario than a bag that will conform and absorb some shock all in all, wonderful idea, but like any other tool, it is not suited for all types of throwing. CDG
  6. Thomas, I used it enough to get a feel for it, had a couple close calls with bounced throws, tried it in the big shot, it kept whacking the poles on release. It is a great idea, but it is a bit complicated, I did get it stuck twice, Chip tried it when it was the "treepeedo", got it stuck too, so it "can" get stuck, nothing is perfect It will be on the travel in the states, so I'm glad that lots of people will get to use it. Chip threw it here, and after a bit of adjustment to getting the ring on it in a configuration that felt good, he threw it quite well and it did not get stuck. I think the shield is an awesome idea though, a polycarbonate or hard nylon one would be the shite! ) and yes, if that nerf ball pops off and gets stuck, and you want it back, you are doing a rescue man... these are my "personal" thoughts, I know it is your baby and would expect nothing less that a vehement, passion-filled rebuttal I hope me sending it to be used results in many converts, and who knows, I may be one. for the right location it is awesome, but I do not trust myself throwing it around million dollar plus homes in tight areas along the St. Lawrence . Namaste'
  7. I sent the one Thomas sent me south with Chip Hildreth to pass around, I tried it, not my thing, i like the Rocket bags better, but the rope shield IS viable, as long as you figure out a way to put a small stopper knot in front of it, or after you get it thru the tight crotch, it will come screaming down and smash your fingers... the whole unit is IMO, time consuming, and don't use the big nerf ball, it will get stuck
  8. yeah, my daughter...lol, you dirty old cobbers....
