Description:
BIG SHOT Standard Kit/ with two 4 foot poles and Big Shot Head
A SherrillTree original, the Big Shot makes quick work of getting a working line into position and helps get you get onto the job at hand. Used to launch a throw weight (with line attached) over a tree’s branch to tow working lines into position. This very simple, oversized slingshot uses commercial-duty fiberglass extension poles butted against the ground to eliminate recoil and maximize launching distance of 3 to 20 ounce weights. While hand-throwing straight up is nearly impossible… or at best, requires a great deal of practice, the Big Shot allows operators to launch nearly straight up into the tallest canopies, avoiding adjacent brush and limbs. Other mechanical launchers using gunpowder or pressurized gas have limited ability to control distance, leading to grossly over-fired shots. With just a little practice, you’ll be able to toss a weight high or low with near pinpoint accuracy. For peak erformance, don’t use the Big Shot with total pole length less than 8 feet.

BIG SHOT: great way to launch your antennas! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Using this huge sling shot for tree work since over 4 years I decided to give it a shot at our local club field day.

In combination with the Zingit throwline the Big Shot was capable of getting the throw bag over the highest tree canopies we could find.

The rough bark of an oak tree needs a heavy trow weight in order to retrieve the weight after it is fired. The Big Shot as no problem whatsoever to launch these heavy weights and make it possible to get your antennas high up.

Recommended!
