FTC Pulsar Manipulation Throw Weight

The FTC Pulsar is a 500 gram (18 ounce) throw weight for more precise work. The design is innovative, with a metallic core and a high visibility polymer shell. The result is a product that is very strong with a very long lifespan.

The outer shell brings a rebound effect, the compact streamline shape helps handling the bag in the tree top.  The shape of its ring and the way it is fixed both help when attaching the throwline.

Because it is so heavy and has that rebound effect, the FTC Pulsar is easily manipulated in order to optimise the rope’s placement. The streamline profile combined with its compacity (core in one piece and outer shell tightly fixed together) help passing through crotches: it doesn’t flatten on the branches and can be moved effortlessly.

It is mostly used as a complement to the classic throwbag, for instance in order to weigh down a throwline and let it down faster, or use its natural rebound in order to work a way through crotches. 

The FTC Pulsar can also be used to weigh down your rope for SRT ascent, making the rope a little tauter and mechanical devices easier to use.
