How do you retrieve it from the ground when using with a block, do you have a special retrieval ball or something? It would be nice if the ring would go through the crotch, not the block....
A shame you wont be selling the rings alone, id take a double braid sling but nine feet is way too long. A dyneema sling option would be nice as well. Maybe ill just get a loopie and cut it to make what I want

Thank you for your immediate thoughts. I understand them.
The simple way with an easy crotch is when you set the block and ring from the ground. The ring goes over the crotch first(with the throw bag) and then you drop the throw bag. On retreival, the block goes up over the crotch( because a plastic ball went through the block and caught the ring), because the plastic ball goes threw the block and catches the ring with the rigging line.
Now, if you don't want that(just as you asked about) and you just want to retreive the block without the block going over the crotch....
well... that is quite interesting, as I came down with a bad "cold" today. I tried to nap, but was thinking on that concept non-stop.
I could not sleep and tried two ideas. One seemed to work extremely well.
Here it is. I will use it at work this week. Because work is the true test.
Here are the pictures, I ran out of light and it was dark.
Worked great, true test will be at work....
