Fishing pole and heavy line all day long. Done.
Go out and practice in the yard or get your fishing permit and practice on the water.
You don't need a slingshot or specialized tools. A spinning reel, 8 or 9 foot rod, 2 to 3 oz sinker, 50 lb test and a steel leader.
If you're a real American, you should already have all these things. Are you, a real American?

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Then you my friend, are a REAL American!
You need to buy a special strap?
I question your amateur radio operator credentials, then good sirs!
Patch of cloth + 4 rivets + 8 ft of surgical tubing.
In fact, I'm a liberal (formerly) pot-smoking hippie commie rat-bastard. But I still like fishing.

Doesn't it just make you swell up with pride, knowing that you're a real American and not some pansy commie coward?
Poke out that chest boy. You've earned it!
Hmmmmm...
I'm using a Japanese-made spinning real. Does that count against my status as a Real American™?

That is how I used to do it when I wanted to loop it over the top of the tree. I prefer to shoot through the tree's canopy so I can use a large branch close to the trunk. It is hard to do that with a fishing pole. I've been a fisherman all of my life, but my aim just isn't good enough to shoot through the canopy. I only use a 3/4 oz weight though. Maybe I should try it with a larger weight.
