Description

This Notch Big Shot kit includes 2 x 4 foot fiberglass poles, 1 x Big Shot Head and 1 x Trigger. The BIG SHOT changed the way we use throwlines by giving you a simple, accurate, effective means to hurl your throw weight to new heights. The BIG SHOT accepts a wide range of projectiles and provides fully variable thrust force to limit over-shooting of low to mid-range targets. Its simple if you have a lower target, just dont pull back as far. The BIG SHOT also solves 1 of the most significant difficulties of hand tossing throw weights vertical targets with narrow approaches. With minimal practice, youll be able to hit high targets through a small frame of branches and twigs. The BIG SHOT is an accurate and lightweight launching system. The launch pouch cuts in-air projectile rotation by 50% over the original BIG SHOT pouch if youre looking to thread the needle through the thickest of canopies or launch throw weights up to 150 vertical ft. Reach for the tool arborists around the world call for by name.

Fantastic time (and effort) saver!
I'm a ham operator, not an arborist, so I don't exactly have much skill at throwing lines up into trees. I needed to get a throw line over a branch up about 55' to pull up a wire antenna. After much frustration trying to do it by hand, I decided to buy this. It took ONE try. Seriously! I did a few launches nearly straight up, in the clear, in order to get an idea how far down the pole to put the trigger to achieve the necessary height, then took a shot at my target and....perfection. It is very easy to aim. Depending on how high you need to shoot and the weight you're shooting, it takes some strength to pull the slingshot down the pole far enough. (I never could have done it so easily without the trigger, a very worthwhile add-on.) I used a 16oz weight, but a lighter weight might have been simpler. The only thing I ran into (found this when doing my height adjustment test shots) is that the safety on the trigger doesn't always release under tension. I found that if, before hooking the slingshot to the trigger, jiggling the hook and the safety a little ensured it would then release under tension. Just pull the slingshot down, hook onto the trigger's hook, get in position, release safety, aim and shoot. I may have to put up more antennas in other trees just because this thing is so cool! It's too new for me to comment about its true durability, but this thing seems to be built very well, and for my use, it ought to last longer than me. ... show more

High Quality
Does what I need it to do. Easy to get accurate launches.

Major game changer for efficiency
Beyond the time efficiency that this device provides, I believe there also is an increase in my climbing safety because I can launch higher and hit my target accurately. Launching manually, I often had to settle with, good enough. Also, the trigger kit is a must have; climbing and cutting trees is enough of a workout without having to wear myself out doing Pilates with a giant slingshot. ... show more

Good slingshot
I like how easy it was to get the line up over the branch. I had a bit of a learning curve with it. It is very strong so it will overshoot the branch on the first shot. I had to pull back the line and reset it a few times to get it where I needed it. I will be limiting the amount of slick line to fire out since it goes so far. Excellent job making it so strong. The trigger safety is really fussy, but I guess it will keep some knuckle heads from yanking a finger out accidentally ... show more

Game Changer
I love love love this device. I love building antennas and this has let me take it to the next level. Gone are the days of trying to throw a bean bag in a tree. The first time I used this device, i got a line precisely where i wanted it to go. I was quite surpised how easy it is to aim. It is very intuitive. This is a must have if you like to hang antennas in trees for ham radio. ... show more

Great tool to help get rope high in trees while safely on the ground.
Takes some practice to aim, but by using this tool, I was able to get a rope over the top of a tree that had been dead for numerous years allowing me to cut it down in a safe direction. The tree was not safe to climb and not reachable with a bucket truck.

Trigger makes it more accurate
Works great to get weight and line where I need then to self trim nearby trees with manual 48" 2-way saw chain that I bought last year on Amazon. Launcher and trigger were able to accurately do work I needed to do. Used to waste 10-20 minutes trying to hand throw weight bags with ropes. now just 1-3 tries and hit target plus can reach even higher spots. 1/2 price of higher end model available at local Lineman supply shop. Tree services are overbooked and don't want to tackle small jobs that a bucket truck can't get to so helping me slowly trim down dead elms just 12ft uphill from kitchen where there is no room to directly fell the trees. ... show more

Great Slingshot - Additional Trigger Didn't Work
Our neighbors purchased this item years ago and we used it without the trigger and liked the device so we went to Amazon to find it for ourselves and we saw this great version that comes with a trigger. I was really excited about the trigger since the slingshot works great but is a bit difficult to maneuver if you need to aim and shoot really high, so the idea of a trigger sounded amazing. When we first received the item, the slingshot worked as expected and was really easy to put together, but the trigger had fallen out of the small box it came in and was broken with the clamp that connects the trigger to the pole missing a pin. I then requested a new item be sent since I love the slingshot, but we have a branch roughly 200ft. high that I want to hang a Christmas ball on, but is really difficult to reach unless I can use a trigger system since it's difficult to pull that far back while also aim. When I received the replacement item, the trigger was again out of the small box it comes in and it was broken again since the pin was missing. This time, I searched for a while and I was able to find it in the large box the slingshot came in (since the trigger had fallen out of the small box it came in and likely bounced around in the large box until it broke). Once I was able to put the clamp back on the trigger with the missing screw, I went to put the trigger on the pole, and it was physically impossible to wrap around the entirety of the pole since it didn't fit around it (see attached video). I noticed the same thing with the first system I had purchased, but assumed it was just due to not being able to connect the clamp to the trigger due to the missing screw. I am returning this system completely and I will repurchase it without the trigger component since after 2 times purchasing the same item, having the exact same issues with the trigger is likely not just a coincidence. I will purchase the sling separately from the trigger since the sling device works perfectly for my needs. I will most likely just have a neighbor hold the pole while I pull back the sling since I can't get the trigger to work and I'll probably need help getting it so high in a tree. The slingshot portion of the device is amazing, but unfortunately, the trigger leaves much to be desired and simply never worked for me. ... show more
