The wussy types put the stick in a tube and sighted along it to aim the rockets at their adversaries. We found it much more machismo (and skillful) to hold them by the stick and use an underhand swing motion, timing the letgo so as to have main motor ignition coincide with alignment to the victim. Aaah to be young again.
