How low do you usually pull?

Recommended Posts

3.5k, only because thats student pull level, and I respect the wisdom in this case. I wouldnt have a problem pulling as low as 2k, depending on what canopy I'm under.

2500' AGL. Hard Deck: 1500' AGL. Hop-N-Pop 2000' AGL clear & pull from the step. lowest ever pulled 1900' AGL, i lost altitude awareness on a 4 way RW dive and turned at 4000' AGL instead of 4500' as planned, turned and burned at 4000' AGL and dumped at 1900' AGL, thank goodness it opened o.k.

Used to pull around 4, now I pull around 3.5-3. I can pull a little lower than that if I need to, but I'd rather not. 81 jumps.

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

several times lately, 11k;)B|
normally, by 3K, I like being in the saddle by 2700. been lower a lot lower, like pulled at 2600 with a not really nice opening, landing in a small field between a house, a barn, pile of brush and a cow, not comfy with that, it wasn't really fun either. all because I saw someone above me when I rolled when on a tracking dive.

between 2.5 and 3k most of the time; 2 to 2.5 for bigger RW, and according to instructions (i.e. at 2) for big ways.

I like a fastish and consistently-opening canopy to make those comfortable altitudes.

Just wondering...

oPen at vs. pull at-
At large boogie ie. WFFC pull=2,000 to 2,500(max)
Home dz 3,000 to 3,500(pull)
