I like cable…no stretch.

Seems like it would be a good idea to connect to the anchor tree first and then swing the rope around to see where the final lay that it reaches is.

No, it went with the gun. Well, viewed from the lay perspective you are referring to, it went a little left of gun, bad rope anchor position I think. Your comment made me realize something…a lot of the issue is that i underestimated how much those limbs would interfere on the tree’s arc down...

Would have been interesting to leave it attached to the front fork and wrap around the rear. I think it would have yanked it over into the hole away from the leave tree.

More room, just one limb, not a whole tree.

Yeah the anchor tree had another fork to the rear. Would have pulled the tree towards me as it went. Almost switched it, but I also thought it might make it harder to get the tree to commit.
