No, no, the snags are going to win. Friction can be a vicious mistress.
Which might mean that very cold wet conditions favour the business, as it

One thought... how acccurate is this launcher? Any chance it can be aimed to
hit the branch above target and bounce to assist further directed travel?
(Sadly I wouldn't trust my stick and elastic trick with that move).

Too many non-precse variables for accuracy. Air pressure, temperature,
elastic accumulator, projectile geometry and line drag.
