Yes, there is a small sinker on it for weight.I know exactly the line you’re talking about. Do you add a small weight to it for snagging dropped items?
i like keeping the other end tied to me. ive pulled my bow back up halfway up/down the tree and made a kill a few times.i just do paracord in a loose figure 8 wrap and then stowed in my pack's water bottle side pocket where it feeds out
light, cheap, quiet, and has always worked
i have a doyle's hoist, but i like the paracord better
one thing is once you lower the bow, you can just toss the paracord down and not have to climb down with it....can't do that with a retractable job
I levitate mine up by using the force. Of course this took many years of Jedi training to accomplish

Like this:Can a retractable hoist (like Doyle's or a dog leash) be used as a pull-down rope? I'm tired of the struggle to keep my paracord from getting tangled, but I don't want to have to carry a second rope. OK, stupid question, I guess, but what is this "figure-8" that everyone talks about? Thanks
Yes, absolutely. However, you might find that the line in your retractable might be too 'stretchy' if your rappel rope gets stuck, which is why a lot of people use things like Dyanaglide and Zingit. Some kind soul posted a tutorial for replacing the line in a harbor freight dog leash with this stuff. You can also replace the chalkline in a reel with this stuff, but it won't be auto-retractable like a dog leash or Doyle's or whatever.Can a retractable hoist (like Doyle's or a dog leash) be used as a pull-down rope?

Thanks. I'm going home to try that out now.Like this:

Is the benefit of Zingit or Dynaglide just that it doesn't stretch -- and so it is better for a pull-down rope. I'm still very new to this saddle stuff. Got a nice 9-point the first day I took my saddle up last year, which was great, but meant less practice.Yes, absolutely.
