Wow!  that was a prompt reply.. Thank You, It is too early  the 'morning
after '  here for me to work out what time you have but I guess you must be
mid evening yesterday.-ish. I'm not in weight training [ unless you count
"putting on too much weight ":-) ] so will assemble my new  pistol
cross-bow with associated  fishing reel/Nylon line in Sussex coastal
suburbia.  Not many Moose tho' I may be tempted to fire at a few B***
squirrels

It is far better to shoot halyards hopefully than to arrive with ready made
product  ....

I assume it matters not where you feed it
