That is a good question, luckily it hasnt happened yet. haha.

what happens when the slingshot gets stuck?

Squirrels now have a convenient transporting method for getting nuts from tree to tree without fear of ground predators.

I usually just keep a 50' pole on me though.

this might work, we don't have one that long but if i climb half way i have one that can reach.

He also forgot to mention that said disc has been stuck for about two months already

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

yeah... but we've just now decided to do something about it. haha.

It's nice to see you finally decided to say soemthing shau. :hfive:

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

The disc was finally recovered earlier today, thanks to Lapants.

Thank you all who gave some good, and rather funny, ideas.

 

[KNole]

how did you get it down?

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

Lapants climed up the tree and poked it down with an extendable tree trimmer.

 

[Mattallica]

Tent Pole.

I have a 14' tent pole in the trunk of my car (along with my tent.) It's very lightweight and collapsible to about 18" long, so it could easily be carried in or alongside a disc bag. It's no good for tall, tall trees; however it has saved my discs from thick, unclimbable evergreens on two occasions.

I keep a sling shot in my bag just for this purpose. I got a pred stuck about 30 ft up in a tree one time and I got it out with the slingshot (after I drove home to get it). It has stayed in my bag ever since.

I also keep a tent in my car and didn't think to use the poles. now I'm thinking about No Country for Old Men.

I didnt read the whole thread. Have heard that paintball guns work really well... good way to use your old hardened ammo.

that's a good idea

 

[UnitedPuppySlayer]

I've thought of this, i work at a couple paintball fields so it was the first thought to come to my mind. the only reason i dont do it is because the park is surrounded by neighborhoods and i dont know the air rifle regulations of the city.

And the only problem with throwing things, is that the only path that you could throw is straight up, which isnt too easy.

Too lazy to type it out again, so ill just quote it. I would not recommend using a paintball gun to get discs out of a tree. Not only might it be against the law for the town/city you're playing in but it can also do quite a bit of damage to a disc.

shake it like a polaroid picture.

I go for the high technology... rock.

 

[UncleSweat]

I carry a golf ball in my bag. Its small enough to get through the branches and much easier to carry than a baseball.

 

[richardmmill]

Used my lacrosse ball today to get a buddy's disc out of a tree.
