Bigshot launcher reaching 200' for line setting. 

Thanks JB, you are always so kind.

and here I thought Ive seen most of your videos WOW what a great invention ! THANKS !!

A thoughtful and inventive approach....and great results. Congratulations.

Nice ! Very Smart

Hi Richard. I love seeing the ingenuity of tree climbers when solving gear related problems. A little bit of frugal ingenuity saves a lot of money...and waste! I was just wondering what the approximate weight is of your modified grade stake weight/throw pod is. Also, I would surmise from your video that you're climbing east coast hardwoods. I've heard that braided spectra line, which works great for hardwoods, can cause a bit of friction and get caught up in the softer wood/bark conifers of the PNW. I think Berkley Fireline is a pretty popular option amongst conifer climbers out west. Can you confirm or deny this through your experience? Thanks!

Brilliant

Great idea. I love my Big Shot but never need to shoot higher than about 75 feet. Once I'm up, I'm climbing. I'm guessing you are climbing some giant Sequoias for research. Thanks for the ideas.

Thank you

Could you just use a fishing pole instead of the mod monopole?

hi richard where do i buy rubber ? . please .

What a crock of shit!, this clip shows nothing!!!! no shooting of any line even 10 feet nevertheless some 200', Bah you are a joker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking outside of the box gets great results. Thank you.

Ahh...you’ve worked out some of the problems that I have been having shooting above 100 feet. Thanks for the great info..

Nice work, Richard!

Ingenious and amazing thank you so much

Have you ever measured the forces applied to the strap and the release when at full draw?
