Back on topic, all you thread-jackers need to stay focused,

The fact that a ladder is involved, should be obvious.

Had to climb a ladder to get into the stand where this buck finally walked by. Does that count in this thread?

getting ready to set up the pig cannon........
a hoglet, a gallon of tannerite, and a piece of pipe or a 55 gallon barrell
and a well placed round, usually 6mm or larger.

the yuk-yuks increase in direct proportion to hang time.
just 200 yds. but still fun.

Just a guess, but would imagine you'd have to carefully weigh each pig to obtain consistent results in a ladder test. Or are you varying the powder charge depending on piggy ponderousness?
