Someone please explain the shooting mistletoe out of a tree thing. I only know that you can buy it in a pkg from the garden center. I never really thought about where and how it gets there.

I have a huge bundle of it in a tree right beside my house. I have never heard of shooting it down, but I have known people to climb trees to get it!
