Fire arrows from your catapult

RE: Fire arrows from your catapult
Made a sling bow but didn't like it.
I had to use super mag bands to get the arrow out to 20 yards with any force.
Because of the harder pull (35 lbs), the accuracy went stupid.
Didn't use a archery biscuit though, just shot though a simple eye bolt taped to the handle.
I used an old damaged 28" alloy arrow which I inserted a golf tee where the nock was to hold the arrow.
Even then I had to change the pouch to a full cup as my normal ones are punched to seat 3/8 ball ammo.

Then it all went wrong as I released wrongly.
The arrow tried to exit at an angle and got bent as it "folded" against the eye bolt.
Hurt like hell as the force ripped off the eye bolt into my hand.
Dunno if a biscuit would have prevented that but as always, a slingshot going wrong is no laughing matter.
