Got a 15oz throw line over 75 feet into a fir tree.

I like how easy it was to get the line up over the branch. I had a bit of a learning curve with it. It is very strong so it will overshoot the branch on the first shot. I had to pull back the line and reset it a few times to get it where I needed it. I will be limiting the amount of slick line to fire out since it goes so far. Excellent job making it so strong. The trigger safety is really fussy, but I guess it will keep some knuckle heads from yanking a finger out accidentally

I'm a ham operator, not an arborist, so I don't exactly have much skill at throwing lines up into trees. I needed to get a throw line over a branch up about 55' to pull up a wire antenna. After much frustration trying to do it by hand, I decided to buy this. It took ONE try. Seriously! I did a few launches nearly straight up, in the clear, in order to get an idea how far down the pole to put the trigger to achieve the necessary height, then took a shot at my target and....perfection. It is very easy to aim. Depending on how high you need to shoot and the weight you're shooting, it takes some strength to pull the slingshot down the pole far enough. (I never could have done it so easily without the trigger, a very worthwhile add-on.) I used a 16oz weight, but a lighter weight might have been simpler. The only thing I ran into (found this when doing my height adjustment test shots) is that the safety on the trigger doesn't always release under tension. I found that if, before hooking the slingshot to the trigger, jiggling the hook and the safety a little ensured it would then release under tension. Just pull the slingshot down, hook onto the trigger's hook, get in position, release safety, aim and shoot. I may have to put up more antennas in other trees just because this thing is so cool! It's too new for me to comment about its true durability, but this thing seems to be built very well, and for my use, it ought to last longer than me.

I can put my throw line 150’ in a tree accurately from almost a straight line. You don’t have to have throwing room, you just shoot it up in the tree. I use an 8oz weight. The trigger is super nice as well. It’s all really good quality.

Takes some practice to aim, but by using this tool, I was able to get a rope over the top of a tree that had been dead for numerous years allowing me to cut it down in a safe direction. The tree was not safe to climb and not reachable with a bucket truck.

Worth the money. Allows much easier positioning of the rope. Use it for DRT and for rigging line to pull trees away from the buildings when felling.

Highly recommended. I use this for getting support ropes into the upper branches of tall trees to support amateur radio antennas.This device is pretty much foolproof. My first shot right out of the box was right on target and this accuracy has repeated itself on every tree.I wish it wouldn’t have taken me 40 years to find out about these things!
