As you have I have tried many different ways of getting a line into a tree
during the past 50 years, well 60 :-) The problems that I have always found
with shooting, casting or throwing a thin line with a weight or ball at its
end is that too often the end wraps itself around a branch or gets stuck in
a piece of broken bark, and secondly to place a line exactly where I want it
in a 100ft tree is almost impossible due to human error, or breeze causing
the line to drift. Shooting tennis balls is a good idea, but when I tried
this method too often a ball would bounce off a branch or become stuck. It
would seem that I need more practice in shooting tennis ball!
A local problem is that there are several Buzzards living in the trees who
have an unhealthy interest in flying objects!

Best and easiest way to shoot antenna is here:

I tried almost all imaginable systems during 50 years.
And tennis ball does not harm anything when coming down.
This can be ordered as a kit, too.
