Shoulder Shot Line Launcher

The Shoulder Shot Tree Toppler is an air-powered throw line-launcher which launches a 12oz throw bag with power and precision.

The launcher is intuitive to aim and use. The air container can be pressurized up to 125 PSI, and this controls the vertical distance launched. Once pressurized, the launcher is mounted and aimed from the shoulder, and activated by turning the release handle. The Shoulder Shot works best using a 12oz throw bag, and can be used with arborist throw lines or tied directly to 11mm (7/16") ropes.
