Catapult hunting


Recommended Posts


When out in Paraguay (south america) all the tribe kids hunted with then and had a boat load of success, obviouslt their catapults were hand made from all the stuff they could find and they would all but use the catapults for everything short of the big stuff (ant eaters and what not). where it would be bows and arrows or traps.

 

For small birds and things they used clay balls so they would shatter, for the bit bigger they used copper balls or pebbles...quite amazing to see though.

i failed to find a bit of 25mm ply at work today even though we have loads in stock im not paying £40 for an 8x4 sheet when i only need a small bit!, got most of the chippys and builders i know looking for odd bits though! :D

 

what i have got though is some 25x100 meranti hard wood!, just wondering if that will be up to being made into a catty????

 

cheers
