Mine is still flying. It's a bit damaged but that is due to the considerable slammings that it's had onto concrete. It will be flying high tomorrow into some big Lime trees. Love it because it doesn't bounce like a tennis ball when it hits a branch on the way up. The 'comparable' similar shaped...

That is such a good feature. The climbing rope gets over anything, every single time. Love it.

Excellent.:thumbup::thumbup:

Fair point and I am generalising but I've been on Arbtalk for a few years as well as other forums and being British, know the British mind set. I know that many won't agree with me, however, it's a well known fact and you only have to read the Stein Arb Trolley threads on Arbtalk to see what I...

I've only skimmed half this thread but this post stood out. I have said this before elsewhere and it's sadly true. Americans & Canadians are very encouraging of the entrepreneurial spirit and prefer to spend more money if the product is first class. Conversely, British and most other Europeans...

Still loving my RK. Used the regular bag recently, just as a comparison to remind myself. Never again! Hahahaha!

I don't give a toss about packaging and when I receive a fancy wrapped thing I get annoyed that a % of my money is going straight in the bin. I want an excellent product wrapped in anything so that the postman doesn't damage it.

The last few weeks have seen me working on some fairly small trees so I have been hand throwing. I'm still useless at it but have quite enjoyed it. Tried hand throwing the old bag, that was a lot worse and had a few throws get stuck in the tree. No such misfortune with the slippery RK!

Since adding the brass weight insert i have strangely become better at hand throwing with one hand. This improvement has elevated my hand throwing skills to dreadful. However, I was beyond dreadful with the normal bag but the RK does not get stuck.

Is it making money for who? The inventor or the user? I've had one for a few months and I can honestly honestly say it saves time for all the reasons that Thomas uses in his sales pitch. It's my opinion that if you hand throw or BigShot several times a week, you can not afford not to have one...

Been firing mine into some BIG Beech trees. Lots of branches and thrifty stuff to get in the way so I installed the bras weight to ensure the RK always came down. Perfect and satisfying watching it slither back through the crown so I could isolate a branch, knowing full well that a bag would...

I haven't shot or thrown mine much during the last month due to lots of jobs on small trees, fencing and Cypress. The few outing it has had have been good, except when I've messed things up.

Hi Merle. I don't have the photo any more but here is a link to a thread with the photos. It really works well. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/climbers-talk/56209-big-shot-set-up-3.html

I'm the worlds worst at throwing a bag, that's why I bought a BigShot. However, I've thrown my RopeKnight many times now with surprising success. something about the weight/shape dynamics I suppose that a conventional bag or Highball doesn't have. Whatever, I'm not trying to second guess it, it...

That made me laugh!

That's so unfair dude. Thomas appears enthusiastic about the RK. As far as litigation is concerned or the risk of a RK piercing a person in the LZ under a tree: I would not use a cruise missile to shoot a rabbit. I would not use a BigShot for and Apple tree. I would not use a Space Shuttle to go...

What is the APTA Bonner? thanks.

Hi Bonner. Have you tried using a BigShot? I can't throw for sh1t so the BigShot has been some of the best money I ever spent.
