Hmmm... Atlanta is a little far for a Wisconsin cube when I'm less than an hour from the Land of Cheese... Thanks for the info. Do you know the brand of the cube?

Look them up, they might mail you one. If I get a chance, I'll try to call them and get more info for you.

I bought a cheap little collapsible bucket with lid from Amazon, and cut some dividers on the bandsaw out of poly sheet. There’s 3 throw lines in there and plenty of room for maybe 3 more.

Switched over to dynaglide from 2.2mm zing it. Very happy with it, way less memory/ snarls.

10oz and 14oz bags, one on either end

I've completely ditched my 2.2 zing it and now I stick to 1.8 dynaglide or 1.75 zing it. Dynaglide is far superior to the 2.2 zing it, and I'm preferring it to the 1.75 zing it I've sworn by for a couple years.

Ditto, exact same. I got the same 2.2mm Zing-it I’ve been using for 16 years, very durable stuff. I hear Dynaglide lasts a while too, but if it keeps performing like this, I’d have no problem with replacing it every few years if it wears.
I should find that 10 ounce bag I got somewhere and see if it plays better with a more slippery line.

I like my Zing-it and Weaver bags (8, 12, 16). I use my Big Shot for anything over 30 feet or for small openings less than that.

I got a suggestion from somebody at the Wisconsin Tree Climbing comp a year ago or so. He uses a bow release on the Big Shot, and then aims and fires from the shoulder. Incredibly accurate that way. It's cheap, and only took a little modification. Works much easier than the trigger release made for it. The release is rated for 200 pounds.

My release position is easily adjustable to give me the height I'm looking for. I now rarely need more than one shot, even at 60-70 feet. It's crazy accurate. I don't remember the guy's name, but whoever it was: Thanks!
