[TowerTalk] Best way of getting a line over a tree

 I shoot mine like I shoot a bow. It's just a feel for where it's going to
go. I sight down the barrel and shoot, just like looking down an arrow. I
could most likely hit that 2 sq. ft. hole first shot, but I've shot my
antenna launcher quite a few times.

Sry, can't be any more help than that.

Oh, another benefit in the antenna launchers. They make playing fetch with
the dog quite interesting.

73!

ok, FAQs don't say, drawings and pictures don't help...
HOW do you get any accuracy out of one of those cannons?
do you mount a red dot on it or is it just a matter of trial and 
error, iow, eventually a blind hog will find an acorn type thing?

I really need to shoot a line thru a hole at about 75'
the area of that hole is about 2sqft.  I could probably get'er done 
with archery more likely than a cannon unless there is feedback 
availability so that I can say that I need to hold higher and a finger 
to the right... type thing.....??????????
