A tree climber can put screw eyes and good pulleys into trunks and limbs.. Lasts much longer than ropes over limbs. 73 Jim W7RY _______________________________________________ _______________________

My personal experience is that anything under 100 is better and more easily served by a medium quality slingshot (Marksmen) with good quality bands and development of proficiency with it. I prefer a

I use the pneumatic spud launcher I made, see it & the PVC spud at the bottom of my QRZ page. I use 30 pound monofilament and I use large swivels as for ocean fishing at the end of the monofilament.
