Poor to Average with THROWLINE?? Then watch this...

Are you terrible with a throwline? Don't worry you are not alone! Many treeworkers absolutely suck, and some have there good and have just as many bad days. But fear not, we are here to help with a few simple little tips and slight change of initial approach you can be way more successful than you ever imagined. We are going to call this series 'One shot (i) Wonder'.
In this video we give an overview of the basic principal, and then put into action what we have just explained. Remember that most of the time you will be throwing, up into the canopy but the same principal applies as throwing over .
Please leave us a comment if you give this a try and how you get along.

We will continue to post videos of us throwing into trees on our job sites.

If I tried to make this video, I would have lost 9 throw bags up in the tree. Good job mate!

I built my own throwline launcher for around $30 for used pvc piping, pressure gauge and in line sprinkler valve. Extremely accurate. The highest tree I launched it into was 133 foot tall..

I've heard of double bagging but now I think I understand it 😂. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks Climbing Arborist for taking the time to put this video together. You've convinced me I need to buy another throw line. Then with your lesson I'm looking forward to turning my 90%-of-the-time bad throws into a bob on tie-in point. Again many thanks, from a soggy UK 👍

Using two throwline as and bags is a great idea!, especially when you want it to lower in a precise area within the area the line is running! 👌🏼

Great video Dan. I'm a less than average thrower but this should help a lot.

[JackFerrell]

[julianalderson]

Thanks havent changed much in ya vids. There easy to understand alot not so much. Thanks bro

[briancrossley]

Throw liens - hate them, spend half my time trying to get the line into the tree so I'll give this a try. Good video, might try that overarm technique as well.

[neilrose]

Hello Dan 😀 another great video mate thanks for posting this one, I am terrible with a throw line 😂 so will definitely be giving this a try, thanks again bud all the best 👊🏻👊🏻

[julianalderson]

Do understand now. Works rekon most times. Thanks

[chillipphi]

Dan, did you get new glasses? Stay safe out there! Took a branch to the face this summer and injured my eye pretty badly. Healed well but it was a rough few weeks.

I can't get any real height by hand throwing, because I'm an old fart. That's why I built a pneumatic cannon that can easily lob a 14oz bag to over 100 feet with a fairly high degree of accuracy. Figuring out the right amount of air pressure for a particular height is a bit of hit and miss for a while, until you generate a handy chart to get you in the ballpark. Using the double bag/two throwline technique to isolate the desired union is still very helpful info. Thx!

I always get hit with the lead shot bag. Upon retrieval too.
Lots of lumps on my head.

[batmantiss]

I appreciate the video. I really do. But the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I'd just as soon hit a lower, easier tie in and advance my line from the canopy

[J-Loe]

Instead of attaching a 2nd line, I’ll do an alpine butterfly and attach a heavy or two heavy weighted bags to that..
