 Arrow maximun distance

Well this will be fun.
For halloweenthis year, my friends and I are going to hang strands of 8,000 - 16,000 firecrackers from a grain elevator's cat walk in a town that a party will be in.
The cat walk....at the most...is 75ft high. Do you think a compound bow be able to lob an arrow with nylon string attached to it over that cat walk?
Give me some thoughts. Thanks!

How strong is your bow? I mean, how many pounds pull? And what kind of nylon cord?
I teach archery, so give me a description and I might be able to help.

75 ft? It should work. You're talking about fishing line or similar, right?
I bet you could use fishing poles, come to think of it.

Yep, fishin' poles would be excellent if one of you has a good arm. Also much less likely to cause [noticable] property damage.

Draw weight is 60#. About 320 FPS. I know I can hit a target at 40 yds with it.
The nylon string is very light. I use it for trot line's on the river. It is about 1/16" thick. Very light. About have the diameter of VISCO Cannon fuse. Sorry I can let you know more about the string.

I think we might try using a fishing pole. That would actually be a better idea. But I dont know.
I will let you all know how it goes!
Also...the town has a population of 800. So the people will be shocked when 16,000 fire crackers get lit at 1:00 AM

fishing pole wont work, the arrow will reach the catwalk but it most
likely will stay in the grating unless there's no walk platform left
