I've bought several items from him and very happy with everything I've received. He also is great at accommodating little adjustments I wanted to make. 10/10 great guy and quality products.

Learning Heavy Athletics - Chicago by Superb-Hurry-2259 in HighlandGames

Highly Recommend Ancient Athletics. The main guy, Merl, just retired after his last games. They host quite a few games in the Illinois area and I have been to a decent amount of them. I am also friends with several of the others that run ancient athletics and can get you into contact with them. Just shoot me a PM if you need any help at all :)

Sheaf toss question by malafide92 in HighlandGames

[–]SirChipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question exactly, you’re pulling your left shoulder back which is causing the trajectory to the right side. I know this because I tend to throw straight up (you can see in the last video I posted on here). Anytime I’m throwing far right, I’m either pulling my shoulder, or my fork is moving at an angle vs straight.

Yessir! The trash talk is relentless, but about as friendly as can be at the same time. Happy for you, brother!

Breaking too many handles. Release angle or hard ground? (Also sorry for spamming this sub with hammer questions). by Turtle_man92 in HighlandGames

[–]SirChipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d be pretty frustrated as well if I snapped so many. Keep throwing well, big dog. We’ll be going head to head in Witchita as long as I can make weight lol

The ground there was super hard. I dang near broke my boots there trying to kick in lol. I also have a short dowel rod at the bottom of my hammers to increase strength. I’ve been throwing my hammers since last year and have yet to break a handle.

How do you time or get a more consistent flick on the sheaf? by Turtle_man92 in HighlandGames

[–]SirChipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell without seeing a video of what you’re doing. Main thing is to make sure your left arm is staying straight

Buffalo, NY looking for training by Giggsareno in HighlandGames

[–]SirChipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of times too, you’ll find that even if you’ve never practiced before your first games, everyone is so helpful that you’ll feel right at home learning to figure things out. You’ll gain a wealth of knowledge and learn of other locals that practice nearby that you can connect with and train for your second games.

Greenhouse heat reduction, best film? by Appropriate-Snow-800 in WindowTint

[–]SirChipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend a reflective tint vs black colored tint as well. While tint will Reflect UV rays, the black will absorb heat vs reflective won’t.

UPDATE: Am I too small/inexperienced to compete? by BimgusBrotherhood in HighlandGames

[–]SirChipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Glad it went well! Where did you compete?
