Tennis ball launcher to recover a quad from a tree.
#1
This should definitely solidify my "Tree Hugger" status  Smile



Amazon sells them for about $30 https://amzn.com/B001LRJ5RU

I keep it in the car just in case, and the other day it definitely paid off. Last time we got a quad stuck up that tree, we had to bring a ladder, 3-4 people were involved, a person had to climb on the branch, the whole ordeal took 30+ minutes. This time one person got it down in under 3 minutes.
The next build will be perfect! | Fleet and build info | YouTube Channel |

Because our pencil pusher Government Types say so.  Our whole system on what is deemed as a weapon is a joke. I cannot buy a tennis ball sling shot but I can go buy a compressed air spear gun no problem.  Gee, I wonder which one has the most potential to kill or maim.  LOL

This is what happens when any Government goody two shoes halfwit get into power.

You know, a hand grenade is almost the same size as a tennis ball  Cool . You cant fit a hand grenade in a spear gun  Tongue

A compressed air spear gun would probably work well to get a quad out of a tree..... Big Grin

(see how I brought that around on topic?)
