Re: Springs?

Pretty much I think it's whatever is realistically safe. Don't pull out an enormous 4 foot long spring and compress it to launch your cable over the bar. Mainly just do what we have done in the past and stay within safe limits. Don't over stress the spring as that can be safety hazard.
