[Paul B]

I should have ya'll write a 200 word essay on why you need it and then let the 'Housers vote.

totally.

 

[The Branch Doctor]

I vote that I should win it cause I'm so cool... in my own mind that is.

 

[squisher]

... in my own mind that is.

Atleast you're are living somewhere near the realm or reality.

 

[The Branch Doctor]

Reality? What the hell is that?

 

[squisher]

It's a nasty place I've heard of.........but I have no desire to go there.

 

[The Branch Doctor]

Amen brother! Lets not be flirting with that reality crap... I heard it causes cancer.

 

[No_Bivy]

did I disquaulify myself.......

 

[MasterBlaster]

Haha, no.

Setting up the BS trigger

I don't need to be in on the drawing, but I will re-post some pics of my version of setting up the trigger...I reckon they got lost in the crash. This is a real nice arrangement, and can improve range as well as accuracy. If you are the winner, you'll want to do something like this, trust me.

It achieves 2:1 ma on pulling the shot rubbers into place, so it's easy to use. A baby distal hitch captures the gain. The end of the cocking cord is fixed to the pole with a prusik hitch. Load the bag before tightening down on the shot pocket...it gets pulled closed tight, makeing it hard to get the bag in deep enough otherwise.

[Tom_Scheller]

What stopped you? The $49 price tag?

$76 in WesSpur. Quite a giveaway Butch. Alas, I've got itty bitty trees as well, so I won't be needing it.

Welcome Bob S!

[MasterBlaster]

Lordy, how can a 'lil piece of metal cost so much? Does the military make it, lol.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Bob!

 

[Frans]

I'll post pictures of my set up. It might take awhile because my set up was stolen but I think I can whip up a mock up.

Burnham your set up takes alot of strength. Mine used a ratcheting pulley.

Gerry B. uses two micro pulleys

 

[Burnham]

Oh no, Frans...an eight year old could pull that thing down to within 2 feet of the end of the pole, no problem. Old man that I am, it doesn't stain me in the least to get everything available out of 8 feet of pole.

I'm sure pulleys would make it even easier, but this is not hard at all to do. Less to flop around after triggering it, too.

 

[SkwerI]

Thanks for re-posting the pictures, Burnham. Great stuff there.
And Butch, I think you're right. I'll withdraw my name so that it might go to somebody who can get more use out of it. I rarely have to set lines any more.

 

[squisher]

Yee haw, my odds are going up!

 

[top hopper]

Actually for me.

Thanks

 

[Frans]

Deva, your gonna carry a big shot on your trip?

Naw, you better pass buddy. I don't think Greyhound will let you on with some big pole cluttering up the aisle and poking folks in the eye

 

[squisher]

No, he's Canadian... oh wait, same difference.

Atleast I know how to quote . I'm not even sure I could figure out how to mess that up :roll:.

 

[sotc]

No, he's Canadian... oh wait, same difference.
