Clay Edgin Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 They're LUCKY the contest is all the way across the continent! Or else the west coast would have to represent and bring home some trophies Okay, so the alcohol has gone to my head a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Clay I have to agree with you! West coast rules!! LOL! Maybe we should set up a contest with every region against the other. Would be alot of fun and maybe a killer BBQ, Maybe Heath will bring his last kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 So, is anybody interested in going to this contest? If you don't want to post on here, feel free to PM me. I am dying to know if anybody is going from the board. I am really considering driving down from PA. That'd make it about a 9 hour trip. Thanks, -Napalm Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 So Dave?I assume you will be competeing? Very exciting news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim stallings Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 After talking to Dave tonight I have decided to change the close the gap for time to max weight with the #1. And I think I have talked Dave into do some demos of hand strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Max weight with the number one I bet somebody could easily hit the 200 pound mark in this. Not necessarily me, but somebody. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 How is the 'max weight' on the number 1 done? Could someone describe this event(exactly) to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 im not competein, but will be helpin judge. i suggested the wieght liftinrather than a timed hold , liftin it from ground to a certain hiehgt . thought that would be different. and the #1 was used cuase wasnt sure if everyone would be able to even clsoe the #2. yoiu never know. i hope several form the gripboard are able to compete. i think the gripboard could be well represented.

Rob Vigeant Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Max weight with the number one I bet somebody could easily hit the 200 pound mark in this. Not necessarily me, but somebody. -Jedd- I don't think ANYONE will hit 100lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I don't think ANYONE will hit 100lbs. Seriously? Perhaps I spoke too soon. I have not tried it, but personally I think strapholds with the number 1 are a joke. Well, I guess there is no sense in arguing it, but for a guy who can close the number 4 like Dave, 200 seems pretty reasonable to me. Of course, I was operating on the assumption that Dave was competing, but now I know he is not. I guess I need to try stuff out before I make these assumptions. What's your best wt doing a #1 Strappy, Rob? You have a monster crush. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incindium Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 (edited) I tried it tonight and was only able to get 25lbs with the #1 on a straphold using an old belt. I can close the #2 and am getting close on my PDA .270. I'm thinking that a #3 closer could probably do around 50lbs? Maybe less? If thats true then I think Rob is probably right about no one getting over 100lbs... Edited December 3, 2003 by Incindium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Fralick Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I think 100 is doable. I can close a #3 50% of the time i try it, and can get 65 on a strap hold with a #1. I bet Dave could get 130+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Vigeant Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I bet Dave could get 130+. I'll take that bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I'm thinking that a #3 closer could probably do around 50lbs? A three closer only doing 50 pounds on the one?? We just saw Heath do close to 50 pounds on a strappy with a three. Don't forget guys...I am only talking about breaking it off the ground, fellas. I am not talking about doing a front lateral raise with it. -Napalm- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incindium Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I was actually thinking that it would need to be more than just breaking it off the ground but lifting it and holding it 6 or more inches off the ground... We'll have to see how they are actually judging it in the contest I guess. According to David Fralick I was only off 15-20lbs on my assessment but I guess it depend on how hard a 3 his is... I didn't see that video of Heath's... thats unreal. But he is damn close to a #4 closer which puts him in the top 10 in the world with the grippers or thereabouts.

Clay Edgin Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Well, looks like this is one of those cases where we'll have to get off the Internet and actually try it rather than speculate :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Clay, Thanks for the insight. When the straps, and weights magically appear in the woods I've been hunting in for the last three days, I'll let you know how it turns out. -Napalm Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
