Training schedule & how to make a hammer, etc

[Delaney]

Hey Alan H and o1d dude, thanks for posting up your counsel here! I've been wrestling with the DIY gear question myself, and had figured on using simple loops of 1" diameter rope passed through the center hole of plates, tied off with a square knot for a handle, and just throwing loops with various weights around in the field. But I was a bit concerned with the hammer because the mechanics of throwing an object seemed it would be different than what I would get out of a long rope loop.

... well, all of this is to say thanks for the info posted above. Now, how about sheaf throw practice gear and routines????

OK Burly Brute, at the end of January, you asked about gear to start practicing the Highland Athletics events. You've responded to some other posts in this forum about what to do, how to get started, gear to make.

So, what have you DONE...not talked about, but DONE to make this happen?

I am all about getting things done on a budget, but for heaven's sake please learn to at least tie a bowline.

Move to Alaska. Buy a snow shovel.
