I use one of these air launched tennis ball launcher. Don't remember the exact
name but it cost about $250-300 and was well worth it. I have seen it launch
that tennis ball easily over a 105-110 foot fir tree. Right now I have one or
two I'm thinking about to shoot over that are 150+ feet. If my aim is right and
the wind cooperates I believe it's doable. The smaller, cheaper air launcher
using 2 oz. fishing weights was of little use and scary if and when the line
caught or something. A little diligence goes a long way launching over trees
and such.
