It is good to remember that the laser's green dot marks the center of where the bore is pointing not necessarily where the bag will hit. Unlike on a firearm where the dot gets adjusted to mark the point of the bullet's impact at various set distances. Shooting on the horizontal, projectile arc...

I've done that a bunch also.

That's great to hear, Ben. With in the field use time and experimentation, I firmly believe this type of laser equipped APTA has no equal in both accuracy and complex line setting potential.

Yeah, I can't shoulder it and work the lever smoothly. I hold it like a mortar but braced on my hip pocket area.

I use my left hand on the release lever with my thumb on the valve. The butterfly valve should open with the lightest touch and in truth does not need to be fully open to get a good air blast.

Keep us informed on how it works for you.

Here you go.

Yeah, it's about halfway up the barrel so there is plenty of room to spin it.

No pictures on this new computer, though I can take one tomorrow if it is needed.

I used two sided tape underneath the picatinny rail and then used zip ties to lock it down. For getting the laser in line with the bore you will need to rotate the entire APTA. Two Vs cut in a cardboard box works well. Set it up about 25 yards from a wall that has a sighting mark. Turn on...

I couldn't agree more, Kyle. So many times I have made jobs go faster and safer by setting my line exactly where I wanted it, not just to what I could reach. Shots that would not have been possible with a hand throw.

Scott brings up a good point. There is very little consistency in throw weight bags. Treestuff for instance recommends the 14oz. Notch bag for the APTA. So it could take some trial and error to find a bag that fits perfectly. I like my bag to fit a little more snugly, and do use a rod to seat...

A laser for the APTA will add another 50 bucks or so. Not really a cheap option. Also, take what I say with a grain of salt. What I like and need as a professional does not mean that you would benefit enough from the same to make it cost effective.

It depends. Bigshot does work well and if that's what you have, you will get good with it. The APTA with a sighting laser works even better and you will probably not need more than one shot at any line setting hight.

As Sean stated, 12oz. Weaver-style bags are what fit. A little bit of practice will quickly confirm psi per foot of height ratio. Mine is close to one foot of height per pound of air.

I used to do that also, Gary, until I realized how unprofessional it was. I have nothing to gain, no need to prove skills, by the using of techniques that can be done better in other ways. When I go to a job, people are paying a premium for my work. I will do that work to the best of my ability.

I never go to a job without it. I have some fancy poll tools for setting lines in small, restricted places, but for the most part, the APTA gets used for line setting. It makes hand throwing comparable to hip thrusting, nice to know how but not some something that is needed any longer. It is...
