I used to use a slingshot to shoot a sinker on a piece of fishing line,
over the limb. But now I just cast the sinker over the limb of interest with
a short fishing pole. The sinker will return to ground much better then the
arrow. I guess what method you use depends on how accurate you can cast :-)

Anyone have any advice for getting the fishing line to come back to ground
zero?
I have no problem getting the line over a nice, tall branch but the arrow
and tennis ball get caught up on the way back down. If I'm lucky, I can snap
the line and retrieve the arrow, but that's only happened once.
I don't exactly have a bucket truck guy to call where I am (cottage). And
I'm running out of cheap arrows.
