So my sling shot/fishing reel throw line device works pretty darn good. I did a pre-set on the only tree I have here at home that would be stout enough...with a branch to lob over. All went very well.
I went with girth hitch on the tree.. not the branch. can not get the hitch to tighten up. Every attempt has the rope snagging hard about 2/3 of the way up. Preet rough bark shaggy ol monster though. I assume other trees are easier to work with? Or are guys girthing the BRANCH more often than the actual trunk? I dont know how I feel about the branch hitch...kinda limits the available trees, in the right location if a guy is depending on a. heavy branch, b. at the right hieght, c. in the right location. ...
