Topband: Fwd: Re: Pneumatic device for throwing antenna wire over the top ofa tree

[Art K6XT]

Not to mention, plastic pipe can be dangerous when gas-pressurized. If 
the pipe fails, gas decompression fires pieces of pipe like bullets. Not 
that I don't use it myself, just worth noting. If the pipe gets hit hard 
enough to break, duck quickly!

I went to Walmart and bought a cheap spinning reel(Attach it to the sling
shot) . a sling shot, a small lead fishing weight. and some light fishing
line line.
Its very easy to shoot it a hundred feet over a tree and then attach rope to
it, to pull wire over. also very reasonable price/ wise...

Dear all

some time ago there were some discussions on reflector about how to
make a pneumatic device that could be used to launch a fishing line
with sinker over a top of a tree for attaching wire antennas..
