The easiest way to get your line into the tree, this line launcher works like a giant slingshot to launch lines up to 100 feet. Can be used with a standard throw weight and throw line system, or with the specially-designed bullet-style weights. The Big Shot is equally popular with arborists, competition climbers, and recreational tree climbers. Being able to put your throw ball and line through the target crotch with precision and speed is definitively worth the investment.
The Big Shot kit with 4’ poles couples two 4' poles together to make an 8' pole. This is great if you have limited space to store or transport your Big Shot, and since it is not an oversized item, it is eligible for the free shipping offer.
Using Jameson B-Lite poles for the Big Shot creates a lighter, more rigid line launcher that is easy to break down and pack anywhere.
Two 4' Big Shot Line Launcher poles with couplers that allow you to fit the two poles together to reach a full 8' height. Big Shot head sold separately.

Always use eye protection when using a line launcher.

New improved design of Big Shot head and pouch sling!
Replacement sling and pouch for the Big Shot line launcher.
The stainless steel release shackle provides smooth and accurate release every time. The Big Shot release shackle comes with a short length of cord already on it, 3' of Zing-It for creating longer or replacement release cords, and 4' of 6mm accessory cord to tie a prusik and secure the release shackle to the Big Shot pole. This allows you to move the anchor for the release on the pole, adjusting the length of draw on the Big Shot for the desired height.
Anyone who has tried to make a few consecutive shots can tell you that holding the tension on the powerful Big Shot sling while aiming can quickly tire out your shoulders and arms. Using the prusik to hold the tension allows you aim with ease, and release when you've got the shot lined up. Made in France.
