Why not just use the rod and reel? Admittedly some can throw farther
than they can cast.

I doubt there are very many people who can either throw, or cast a
line, at 70 feet, over a particular branch of a rather densely packed
conifer tree. I can do it, however, with a slingshot. A bow or
crossbow would be even better, I'll admit.

Which is why I recommend using my described method, as you can "sight"
up your target. Easy really.
