Hey Dave,

I have been using a good wrist rocket type slingshot and a closed faced
fishing reel taped onto it for
over15 years now. I use 1 or 2 ounce sand sinkers painted yellow and 10 lb
yellow monofilament by
Stren for the first shots then pull up nylon twine and if need be real some
heavy line.

The home QTH has full sized dipoles for 160, 80 and 30 meters up over 100'
on the ends and
a four square for 40 at 90' in the center hanging in the pines using 1/2"
nylon rope, 4" pulleys and 30 lb
cement blocks at each end to keep things good and tight in the snow, ice and
big winds here.

Yearly at FD I shoot over the tops of several Ponderosa Pines that exceed
120'. No problem
unless it is windy. Those 2 ounce sinkers take that mono up and over really
good.

You really need a 1S4?
