Tree launcher that shoots very accurate 250 feet. Thoughts?

[malcolm treeman]

Hey all my arborist friends. What do you think about this product?? it shoots very accurate up to 250 feet and is made of stainless steel and air pressured. The costs seem to be very competitive with other products we have trouble with accuracy. Is it worth it?

Would I be right in thinking this is your product?

 

Anyway rules are different across the pond and this one would need a firearms certificate in UK.

 

I used to do much the same 30 years ago with a crossbow and fishing spool on the pod. I gave up with it after a passer-by called the police who suggested it should not be seen in public, I still have it stored in the loft.

 

I think  yours has a lower velocity as I needed to flake the line out on the floor to prevent it breaking, or maybe I should have used a stronger monofilament.

yes, they were using really heavy mono in order to get through the trees when pulling your heavy climbing rope back through.

 

you don't need a gun license in the usa because it uses air pressure and not gun powder.
