Hello all, I have been having trouble hanging wire antennas for a long time . I
have tried sling shots , ball or rock on a line , spud gun with potatoes and
tennis balls and all failed or took me hours upon hours to achieve minimal
success . I even went out and rented a man lift , can you believe the darn
thing would not level off and therefore did not work . I was ready to hang my
self with that OCF antenna I bought ! Then it occurred to me I had not tried a
bow and arrow yet so I did some research and found a product that I thought
would work . The kit I bought is from AMS bowfishing . I paid 150 dollars at
Gander mountain for it and had them install it on a new compound bow I got for
my daughter . (she had been bugging me to get her one so she can start bow
hunting ) I took it home read the directions because I have no experience with
Archery, and gave it a try . My first attempt was to lay the arrow into the V
of a tree at about 75 feet , To my surprise and extrem
e pleasure I hit the darn sweet spot on the first try . I continued to the
other end with similar results . The ease of use was surprising I figured the
line would tangle and cause more aggravation Nope it has a great design that
uses a plastic bottle to capture the 5/16 Dacron line (130 or 200 lbs. test
)You just shot out ( came with 110' of line ) with out a hitch of any kind !
You can easily unscrew the plastic bottle and add more rope to the line if
needed and is what I did . The bow was a 50 lb. compound bow from Diamond and
the kit looked very simple to attach I watched the local pro at the shop do the
work . A great product that just prevented me from buying a vertical . John
