Myself, I used a slingshot that cost all of about $15 on the Internet. I had thought about bows & arrows, but this seemed a lot simpler, at least to get you up to 40 ft or so. I guess you need more horsepower if you're trying to shoot over the top of a 90 ft tree.

I read somewhere, where a fellow recommended against a compound
bow because the quick speedup could cause lines to break.

Any other comments on compound vs recurve and or poundage?
