Natural High

Natural High for Antennas


What is the best way to launch antennas to trees?

I have been using a fishing rod and a golf ball for quite some time to sling the antenna wires over trees. That setup has been working reasonably well, but it has been lacking accuracy and a bit more height is always preferred.

Here is the my antenna launcher. I found reasonably cheap used long bow. The bow is 44 pounds strong. I drilled a hole to a golf ball and glued the arrow with strong epoxy. Then I shortened an old baitcasting rod and used hose clamps to connect it to the bow.
