Default Arbor Harpoon

Arbor Harpoon test video #1:
- 1/3 powder load, using only tissue for wadding. Very low pressure.
- Results : inadequate boost velocity. "works", just not well.




Arbor Harpoon test video #2:
- half powder load (5 grains), re-using plastic wad = moderate pressure.
- Results : sufficient boost velocity for small to medium applications




Steel building in test video is to give scale, and to prevent tangling and aiming problems for test purposes.

(note: field use has been attained, although circumstances and load parameters were unmeasured, and varried accordingly. Actual line placement at 75 foot has been achieved)
