No site-specific flying guide found for a foot-launch "Shullsburg" launch. Searched USHPA/RHGPA chapter site lists (Birren Design midwest sites), paraglidingEarth, XContest USA, and regional pilot/operator pages; none list Shullsburg as a free-flight (HG/PG) launch. This SW Wisconsin Driftless-region area (near Platteville/Shullsburg) is predominantly powered-paragliding (PPG) country with low rolling terrain (~1050 ft MSL), so a soarable foot-launch ridge is unconfirmed. The paraglidingEarth orientation hint (N,E,S,W octants) is unusually omnidirectional, implying a small mound/hill workable from several directions rather than a single ridge. ARC AND SPEED VALUES BELOW ARE ROUGH INFERENCES from that hint and general Midwest light-ridge norms, NOT verified club data. Ideal arc set to the N/E quadrant the hint favors (~340-110 deg), with marginal SE edge. Treat all numbers as placeholders; verify locally before flying, including for rotor/lee turbulence, gust factor, and any landowner/access permission. Confidence: low.
