Ed, did you forget to climb the tree and grease the limb so the line would
slide over?

I'm trying to shoot a line over a tree limb to hoist my next
generation of wire dipole.

I'm using a slingshot, a 1 oz round lead fishing weight, and in this
case, 40# test fishing line.

Although I have had fair success in the past, I'm having difficulties
lately. My weight won't pull the line down the other side of the limb
beyond where it stopped.

My Question: What weight do you guys recommend? Does anyone know
what weight is used on the EZhang system? Comments sollicited.

Right now I'm waiting for the wind to blow and hopefully move the tree
limb enough to make the hanging weight pull my live over to the point
where I can reach it.
