    After hundreds of successful shots the funny thing is the elastic benefit actually helps get stuck bags out but strumming the throwline. I pull soft and release fast and it almost jumps out.

    Set up a new swing...

    Moss, Yes that method is great to get the apex far away from the trunk and it can add a certain bounce to the action if over a limber limb. Whenever we set up our 8 foot round trampoline swing we have to use two limbs to support the 1,000 pound live load. One at the apex that acts like a yard...

    What's the best rope for a tree swing?

    While reading this post about tree swings I thought I could share a tip on how I prefer to anchor the rope(s) to the branch. When a rope goes over once and is tied it will try to rotate back and forth as the pendulum swings slowly sawing on the bark. But if you go all the way around twice and...
