Thread: have you tried the Sling Shot Bow before?

    Default have you tried the Sling Shot Bow before?

    I saw dave from daul survival make a sling shot into a bow, I couldnt believe my eyes how good it actual works. 15 yards is is deadlyenough to bring down deer. so I made one, and it really does work well.

    its a nice idea but hunting with arrows in the UK is illegal where as a normal ball ammo in a catapult is ok to use and good for small stuff like rabbit

    think Fish who makes catapults for a living is playing with a bowpult

    they are greatfun for target shooting - i played around with daves version, and an adaption of the a+slingshots one - planning to make a fishhunter style one with an arrow rest at some point

    A+slingshots even do take down arrows in his range

    In York, there is still a local statute that says a city-born man can shoot a Scotsman if they are seen inside the city walls.

    Mind you, we still have the local statute that says all men over a certain age must practise at the butts on the knavesmire.

    it is a Bibical command by God, for David to train all troops to shoot and learn the Bow. So if it is good for God, I think everyone should know the skills of the Bow, it teaches control, patience, disclipine, focus. It is a shame yall can not bow hunt. It is very intenste hunting. You must really understand how to stalk since most bow shots are 15 yeards or less, but not farther than 40-75 yards depending on skill. it is an excitement guns can never replace once you done it for the first time. you think you get buck fever with gun shooting, the bow hunt is 15 times more buck fever, and the adrenline is pumping way much harder, so you have to master at claming yourself down and relax/ sad for yall brother, you are really missing out on a good thing
