I have one that I built myself...and it is a good tool. I call it my Little Shot. The Bigshot set up with fishing reel is a good one for this task, too.
Even with the Little or Big Shots, this stuff still can give you fits.
It really comes down to how long it takes to set the climbing line. Out in that golf fairway...if you have a decent target limb then it's a no-brainer.
Walk into a natural stand and consider the challenge setting an ascent line can be...it can literally take hours in a big oldgrowth like Gord...
You have to give the flipline loads of slack, the pull all of it to one side, then roll it around and up like getting the kink out of a garden hose, then raise the opposite end just as the roll gets around to that side to capture the upward movement.
