RE: Slingshots/Catapults?
Catapults are great for small game. Lead balls are the best ammo i.m.o. they fly well and carry more mass for their size. Can't say I recommend hex nuts Talon as they do not fly well due to their irregular nature. Steel balls are ok but they can ricochet very easily, whereas Lead deforms and loses a lot of its energy quickly. If you have ever used a bow,(didn't you own an Osprey Talon?) a catapult is very easy to get accurate with. If you are able to use and control the larger band sets like Theraband Gold a catapult becomes a very capable weapon, many times the power of a 12ft-lbs air rifle (Puny weapons lol). You can also turn your catapult into a fishing weapon using readily available items online. A surprising thing is that Catapults are not as quiet as you think, a well tuned Bow is silent.
