Question

How do you properly throw a white water throw bag?

Answer 1

Like an overarm lob

Answer 2

Hold the loose (loop) end in your non-throwing hand, and the bag in your throwing hand (hold it open by the top edge).  Throw it hard underhand to a point just beyond the target(and slightly downstream if in moving water).  A person will float downstream faster than the rope, so he/she will catch up to it.  The rope will feed out of the bag as it flies if it was properly loaded.

Most important, practice....a lot.  You do not want your first throw to be the one that has to count.  We practice in our camps on the rivers by throwing our bags at dollar bills.  The closes to a direct hit gets the bills.
