I second Jim's recommendation.
After building a CSV19 and helping some club members string wires, 3
more were purchased and I put one of them together. The Kevlar super
fine and strong line on the large bow fishing reel works super. All
who have tried it swear off using a spinning fishing reel. Accuracy is
terrific - pick the branch to go over. I also find that not much
compensation is needed for wind, the ball tracks well even with the line
blowing off line.
A neat accessory is the Ryobi 18v One+ battery powered air inflator, $20
at Home Depot. I already have a number of the Ryobi 18v tools and
batteries so that part cost was zero. It takes a minute or so to
pressurize to 60psi which is enough for 100+ ft of toss. Everything fits
in a Rubbermaid 14 gallon tote box
Handle this very carefully, as the weighted tennis ball could do serious
damage.

He's been selling them for at least ten years. Several guys around
here own one of them, and they work VERY well. When I moved to W6 in
2006, K2RD brought his over to help me hang a dipole between a couple
of my redwood trees. His first shot cleared the tallest redwood on my
property by at least 10 ft. The tree is at least 175 ft tall.

answer.
Use the Ebay user ID and there is a picture of the launcher. Only
thing I did wrong is the Jebco reel should be below the release valve
switch. The top part is the shoot barrel.
