I have been using an inexpensive wrist rocket (sling shot) for the times
I have had to shoot an antenna line over the trees. Used it with fishing
line and sinkers which have a hole through them so it is easy to attach.
I have been able to get them over a 60 ft tree without a problem
although it usually takes a few tries.
One the weight has fallen to the ground, I attach the nylon rope to the
fishing line with a square knot and tightly tape it so it won't snag
when going over the branches.
Worked well from the balcony of my apartment back in the mod 90's when I
was going through the big "D".

Just made sure I used the sling shot during the day when no one was
around. I'm sure someone would have called the police if they had seen a
grown man shooting a sling shot off of the balcony!!!!
