Catapult for hunting post SHTF - Rocks - 25 February 2016
Hey guys
sorry if this has been done.
I'm looking to buy myself a catapult. Mainly I will (hoping) be using it to hunt small game (rabbits, squirrel)
Has anyone any experience of doing this? is a catapult an effective weapon?
Long term plan is to take up archery (always been keen on this) but seeing how I am between cars at the minute I can't travel.
Any recommendations on which type of catapult?
Thanks alot!

I spent many happy hours shooting catapaults as a kid. Small pebbles from the local gravel pit or acorns from the woods were best.
There are downsides though, they take a lot of regular practice to master, the rubber degrades with both use and time, and the ammunition is heavy and bulky.
For hunting small game I would take an air rifle every time, it's way better.

Thanks for the response guys!
But I seek further help (if that's not too much hassle)
I seek a hunting catapult, preferably £30 or below, that I can practise targets with, then progress to hunting small game once I get my aim in. Any recommendations?
