Re: That Windom [
Been there – done that. I also hit my son with a slingshot launch – and he was standing directly behind me.

Re: That Windom [
I live in an area filled with pine and oak. During the summer, nothing short of a cannonball will get through.
I build and air launcher and it works fine in the fall. In the summertime it’s

Re: That Windom [
This isn't mine, but very close.One hint; make the barrel out of 1 1/4. This way you can make projectiles out of short lengths of 1" PVC with end caps. They make a nice fit in the 1 1/4. Put some

Everyone else probably stuck to UT grids while I ventured further afield in case you need a camping destination.

I still have 2 aluminum shaft arrows in one tree, they've been up there 10 years or more. Birds just love their fancy perches, lol.

Re: That Windom
Considered buying a used bucket truck which I could write off as business expense, but cheapest I could find was around $10k and just couldn't justify that expense. Besides, heard that hydraulics have

My skill is to wrap the line around the branch five times. I have several sets of weights hanging in the oaks in my back yard ;-)

Re: That Windom [
Invest in some PVC and you can pick a reel up at a yard sale. The air launchers really do work. I have short trees, but 100" is realistic.

Thought I save a set of plans for building an air-powered antenna launcher that used a tennis ball (far less destructive that a sinker), but as usual can't find it. Thought about building

Re: That Windom
I am very fortunate and thankful to have a friend with a bucket truck. I put a 3 ft extension with a pulley and rope off the top of my 60 ft tower. I can let my 80 meter Windom up and down. Works

I've never operated in this location of DM49, my parents just recently moved down there. If I cannot get you this time, I'll see if I can make another visit soon. It is about 2 hours from my house. I

Re: That Windom [1 Attachment]
I have my 80M OCF supported at the feedpoint on a 36' pushup mast. Used a compressed air launcher to get the ends over trees at either end.
Each end is approx 35' or so.
