I work in the cable industry, and we are expanding with fiber to the most remote locations running 2000' fiber lines, mostly to "mc mansions" and humble abodes alike way up on the mountain sides. This slingshot allows me to launch a line over the laurels and through the trees to turn a 4 hr job into a 2-hour job. If you buy this item, proceed with caution as it is very powerful and if you don't respect it you will hurt yourself. I suggest buying different weighted shot bags depending on the distance and foliage you run into. When aiming your shot go lower than you expect to avoid the neutral on the high energy lines, and yes it will go that high, and you will have to cut the line to avoid a high energy volt you may not remember.....
