    I just run it up to 150# with my Slime compressor. I fired three times yesterday at 90# with nearly the same result. I just throw it if it's 50' or under. The APTA comes out for those high shots. I'll try some "experimental" shots this week at varying heights.

    I agree, but often it's not very convenient to charge the APTA just to make a 50' shot. As to D vs. round ring, I have found the Ds to be more annoying, what with turning in the bag eye, and resulting in the cord being "off center" to the bag. I prefer round eye based on my experience.

    I know it's been hashed a thousand times, (if not more), but what's CURRENTLY our favorite throw bag, both for throwing and APTA use? I have used my APTA three times now, with great success each time, just don't want to be dependent on it. I pack my "unbreakable" bag (10-oz) from Wesspur in and...
