I built the pneumatic gun seen at the bottom of my Qrz page and 20 
pumps from the tire pump is enough to run out to the end of the 50# 
Monofilament line. If I had to go over higher trees than you get in 
CT, I could easily do so with a lighter monofil gauge. Accuracy? I 
can shoot through a 2 foot clearing in the top of the leaf canopy & 
not touch one of those leaves on the way through. Thing is easily as 
accurate as my ball & cap Navy Revolver.
