Hi everybody!:D

Recently watched a Youtube vid showing a french bushcrafter using his catapult for hunting. Led me to the manufacturer of the catapult and it occured to be a Hunter Catapult, designed and produced - I think - by our fellow forumer fish.

What about using this weapon to hunt? Is it allowed? Forbidden? May we have one on self without declaring it? Is killing animals with that kind of stuff hunting or poaching?

What about wounds caused by bullets? Are they as deadly as rifle ones? What is the good distance to shoot (depends on accuracy I suppose...)?

The power of these is very impressive. Watched a few Jorg Sprave vids on Youtube. Suggest you to give it a look...


Cheers,

Ben/
