It makes sense to try it that way at least on higher shots ... the diameter of the line and the way it pays out (resistance for lack of better term ) are definitely factors when trying to reach greater heights ... My homemade unit is safe at 150psi and will propel a 14oz throwbag 175+ feet np...

A claim of 220’ to 300’+ is made by this manufacturer ... at $599 it isn’t cheap ! I’m sure a serviceable unit can be fashioned by back yard Bobby for a small pct of the list price ... :D
