Ok, so I had two opporunities to shoot a bag today from about 50-60ft and have a couple of questions.
1. Is there some trick to get the bag to stand proud on the surface without attaching a lot of weight to it? I shot a 4' bag today and though it was a decent shoot, and there was a good bit of gas in it, it wouldn't stand tall at the surface.
2. When filling the bag, do you leave some slack line off the spool to give yourself time to let go as the bag takes off? Seems this would be a good idea, but just wondering about the "DIR" way.
3. If you are using a closed bag and use your BC inflator like I did on my first shoot today, is there any secret to the thing not taking your ARM with it as it goes!? That thing SHOT up with major quickness...
Thanks. (And yes I've seen the videos of Andy G. I'm not that good)
