throw weight for bigshot

[CWME]

I use a small throw line storage bag( about 10" around) by weaver, I pull the line out and snap it before I put it away so it flows out when I shoot it. Just pull it out full lenght as tight as You can, And all the tangles disapear. I take my time and put it back in twisting it so it lays flat and follows the circle.

The cube thing is probly better though.

Thanks I imagine more than a few guys have lost their setup after firing into a tree and had a tangle in the line:help:
The mental picture is rather amusing

Cord Reel. 4 or 5 bucks each and NEVER have tangles.

THanks guys...don't plan on going too high yet....50-70' maybe on the maples...can't go too high on conifers...too many branches...be nice for setting up pull lines though...

While it isn't easy, one can set a line safely way up into a conifer canopy. You just need to be assured that the line is close to the trunk..say, within 6-8" if only over one branch. Preferably, it will be set over a couple, plus around more lower down. Of course, a safe distance out from the trunk will be dependant on the branch size.

Also, for our northwest trees, I prefer 1.75mm Zing IT, better yet, Fling It. Even with the smooth, small FI, I still find 12 oz or heavier pouches best.....I can hit 100 foot shots easily with a 12, so why go lighter?

I use the folding pouches.

A reel is great, have used them as well. One of the flanges must be removed however.

I just use 5 gallon pails there easy to flake line into and you can stack a bunch of them on top of each other the walls are slick so when your line reaches down and grabs ahold of the bottom coil you at least know that nothing is gonna get hung up in the bucket

Just curious, Why settle on one weight? I got all of them. I would just get various weights and then you will figure it out. They don't cost that much. And get an extra line for another shot.

and what the hell do you shoot at from the front seat of the escalade? :hmm3grin2orange:

I shoot golf balls at the golfers, then drop the pole and watch em freak out.

That's a great laugh! I get a picture of this sick look on a couple of golfers faces as they see the ball looming at them larger and larger.
You oughta paint those "special" balls with a flaming skull or something, or maybe douse em with lighter fluid and ignite em just before launch.
Thanks I needed that.

You know what! I knew it was you, you, and that is why I carry it in the front seat! I am sorry you were not invited in on the bid. Careful, my balls are painted black!!
