Re: How do those winch-loaded shooters work?

I have been thinking all morning on this.
I still can't figure this out:
I can pull the cable back with a winch and it won't back drive. But when I release the winch the motor will want to spin with the springs.
What I think I need to find is some sort of clutch between the cable and the winch. Any suggestions?
