Training for Highland Athletics

[flyv65]

Anyone know a good place to get the weights they use at the highland games? Its pretty easy to get stone for the putting events, but the weight for height and for distance is a little harder to accurately simulate.

Anyone have any cheap, good ideas for practice cabers too?

Thanks for the info!


Also, for anyone needing tacky/grip help, get ahold of Larry Brock. He is a professional HG Athlete, and he makes a great product called "Brocks Magic Tacky". I used the stuff at his throwing clinic and the stuff works.
