What's the farthest you can throw this beast? When throwing straight and on a anhizer?

A firebird is not much of a distance driver, despite its classification.

Not far....I throw a New Pd in the 400 range. I can only get 330 to 350 with a firebird

Depends on your FB and what you're using it for. I traded an ultra beefy (useless to me) FB to a guy who can get his destroyer out to 500' and the FB was too much for him to use back hand and since BH was his intended use, it didn't make his bag.
He traded it to a buddy of ours who primarily uses it for side arms and overhands and, he loves it.
Personally, I use mild domed, early 12x era FBs in 165 range and they work for me but I can't get them out much past 300' as the crow flies. Add in fade, skip and slide and it might travel 340' including the arc.

350' is my max tomahawk with a normal 175g champ FB, but don't like to throw those over 300' normally. Backhand or forehand can't get it much move over 320' with just a little turn, never tried big S-curve distance with it, but 350' would probably be the max.

The Firebird is too much disc for me, I bought a FAF star last year because I got hopped up on thinking I needed one (damn forums) and I couldn't throw it 250ft! For me, the Felon and Banshee are better options.

I will throw mine to about 310'. Could probably push it a little further, but at that point it's easier to throw a CPD or an overstable Destroyer at 75%.
Yup, I have an old Pro (not the Pro Line crap they're making today, the good old champ pro line) that's still in new condition and I can get it to turn a bit when thrown with max power. My CFR holds up to anything I put on it and won't turn at all.
I can throw my FAF 270-330 on my best attempts anny BH. Flat is 270. I cant keep the nose down on a flat shot with this thing
Reg firebirds are further because even throwing flat ill keep the discs nose down longer.
FH i can roll my FAF a hella lot further with consistency, but my FH has yet to blossom. Id like to think i can FH a faf someday, just need more work.

No one ever believes me, but I once forehanded an old 11x about 500 feet diagonally across a football field area. It was the perfect flex with the perfect over the shoulder/tail wind.
Probably 280' or so? I'm honestly not sure, since I never really throw my Firebirds for max distance shots. They are utility discs for me, but I am comfortable using them on ~300' holes if the shot requires FB stability or if it is super windy.
Discs dont have limitations. People do.

The OP asked how far can "you" throw a Firebird, not how far can a Firebird be throw.
