No it is not illegal to hunt small quarry species with a catapult.
HOWEVER
it is illegal to abuse the animal.
If you can be sure to kill the animal outright and not just harm it over and over with non lethal shots (there by torturing the critter) then hunting with a catapult is fine...
Iv seen accuracy demonstrated with a catapult sub 20 yards you'd be hard pressed to replicate with a rifle, however, it takes time to master a catapult.
I make them out of laminate as find that laminated birch ply has excellent qualities, and looks the dogs too!
Go on youtube and there's a few English catapult hunting vids and accuracy demonstrations with people shooting duck or blasting marbles out of mid air!
