Half of 250 is 125 feet. I have access to two 160 Super Cubs, one with Thrustline and VGs and very little else - a lightweight 1950 model converted. And for a while I had access to a 180 CC Cub. None of them would get off the ground in less than 250 feet. My J3 with Stroker takes 190 feet.
I admit to being not the world's best Cub pilot, but technique alone is not enough to cut a takeoff roll in half - unless we are talking about those guys who raise the tail and sail down the runway flaps extended to 70 mph. I am not one of those.
