That n me thick head Ray! You know you're gonna want an all aluminum ARP8 with this bait casting reel!

Right back at yu Gary!

So the ARP7's a whisker away from its first real test aloft doin pine removals Tuesday. Meanwhile testing at home's been quite vigorous. I throw 5 lb weights with it left handed from two steps up a small ladder, landing them fairly consistently 10-15 feet in front of me. Still in search of just...

Astonishing what a spring ur two kin do!

So l wake up this morning hell bent on finishing this pistol before the day's out. But as fate would have it, my search for just the right spring, uncovered an old palm climber gaffs project from years ago. To cannibalize one project for another? Staring at my old prototype palm climbers'...

At just under 4 lbs now.

Seems to me the obvious next step's to integrate a badass saltwater fishing reel, good for Marlins n sharks. Prototype 8 should be light enough with an aluminum body n such a reel. Great way to have lunch sent up to you, and would probably work well as an emergency escape tool in a pinch. Set...

Sorry Jerr, but hangin all my body weight from this pistol put an unusual load on a single ratchet supported spool, tryin to bend it out of alignment, all cattywompus n stuff, in short it sucked. So I changed it, supported axis on both sides, and twice the spool capacity, enough for a hundred...

Just an FBI background check, a certificate from two psychs, certifyin you're indeed crazy, and a vid of you usin it to swang way out over a lake n pullin the trigger! Easy peasy Captain! Jomo

You kin have this one Jerr. Just a couple more minor details, magnet gluin, just the right strength spring on that gate, a real test aloft, then off to you matey! Bout fourpounds, I'm sure yu kin handle that like Wyatt Earp! Jomo

I'm thinkin with some O that fancy Dyneema cord, this riggin pistol'd support Jim's body weight no sweat! Sure handles mine just fine usin cheapo cord. I kinda like ARP's recent nose job, reminiscent of a bull dozer blade, movin mountains n stuff.

I wanted that cord trapped, confined in the bull's eye, no escape, no way no how, even with all my body weight against the gate! Look lively lads!

Yeah well, I wanna read Mick n Stig writin they totally get it too. Mutinous bastids!

Unhappy with aluminum at the business end of my ARP7, I went a bit overboard last night. One way torsion spring gate on the V slot to trap the cord in the bull's eye, and it's up up n away! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HfxqQmWtGNM

Lash him to the mainmast! Use this! https://www.westmarine.com/buy/ronstan--mrx-2-dyneema-lashing-line--15337272?green=4762F3E6-8590-57C8-A5FB-C6E6DE4ED28A&cm_sp=Onsite-Recs-_-MB-_-PDP Even Popeye cain't break it! Jomo

Alright already! Yes Sean, the pistol works just fine with a knotted cord. But hookin up'd be a pain, and a waste of good cord.

Oh the humanity!!! Somebody call Peter Gerstenberger!!! Get a grip Yu thin skinned laggards! Jomo

I'm happy to report that the cheapo 3 strand cord n pistol can support my body weight dressed, bouta 175 lbs. Lifted two inches of my pillowed chair I'm tellin yu! Jomo
