Throwing sticks are a usefull tool to feed boilies at long range. Because some of them are very expensive you might build one at your own.
You will need the following tools and materials:
- pvc-pipe (aprox. 1 inch diametre)
- a gas stove or something simillar
- some sand
- 2 cork
- a sharp knive
- some plaster or something simillar
Lets start:
- Fill the pvc-pipe with the sand and close it with the cork
- Mark the bending places.
- Heat the pvc-pipe at the first bending place until it becomes soft and bend it. Cool down the pipe under cold water.
- Do the same at the other places.
- Remove the cork at the top and the sand.
- Cut the pipe at the upper end.
- Place some plaster at the handle for better handling.
- First throwing tests.
You will need at least 15 minutes, the throwing stick will last aprox 8...10 DM.
