[Lowfer] 2200m-vention and close down

Tue, 13 Jan 2004 16:06:33 -0600

Bill shot the line nearly vertical so it came down about 4" on the
neighbor's side of my fence. It was so perfectly placed. I have a picture of
the angle and will get them to Dex this week so you guys can see how it is
done. It didn't even take 5 minutes to get the line/arrow right where it
needed to be and back on the ground in the perfect place. My trees are darn
close to 80' or at least 70 something feet tall and the arrow went what
appeared about a hundred feet high and stalled out and came back down.

OK I got to ask this

for those of us with big pine trees and close neighbors ,, How do you
keep the
shot arrow in toe. I Would guess you shoot it with a limited amount of
starter
mono as to keep the arrows flight path in check. So just enough to clear
the top of the
tree ,, a well mounted tether ( hole drilled through the arrow )?? and a
weighted tip
to allow it to fall back close to the tree

its that or really really irritated neighbors ??
