    I wish I had a pic to show as this is hard to explain...

    Start with strap rolled with hook out, while keeping the strap in a roll you have to let it unwind and form a long loop around the still rolled strap.

    When you have about a 2 foot loop around the (still rolled) strap throw by the end of the loop that was made keeping the roll inside. The weight of the strap inside the loop creates more speed inside the strap than you can with your arm.

    Clear as mud?

    I see I'm going to have to make a video on strap throwing. 13-6 high double drop load with 36-40 ft straps. Ba-bam.

    If you have a better method that doesn't involve a 600 dollar broomstick, please share

    It's a piece of cake. Just like lobbing a grenade. Watch the guy with the Lee Harvey Oswald ball cap in the first video.
