barrywhite 282 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ok you can shoot game with a catapult , pigeons rabbits ect with a bb or lead shot ( smooth rock??? ) You cannot shoot a rabbit or pigeon with an arrow from a sling shot . You cannot shoot a rabbit or pigeon with a bow (crossbow) and arrow . This is my question can you shoot a rabbit or a pigeon with the shoot tek rubber powered bow slingshot thing with a BB . if not why not ? can you shoot a rabbit or pigeon with the shoot tek ar 480 using a BB . it has the accuracy of an air gun and all the power needed to do the job . If not why not ? My thought is realy there is no difference between a bow and a catapult .It is just the ammo used . Start the abuse here................ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,817 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think by the time you work out the answer to your question, the rabbit or pigeon would of fecked off, I really like the starship catty,s but you can't hide them and if you sling them in the hedge the person your trying to hide it from just picks it up so really for me a catty is a small discreet fork and elastic set up that I can just throw in the hedge rather than try and work out the legal arguments with the local Bobby and not some of these laser sighted multi elasticated rifle type things the Chinese seem to be into, just get a rifle and a catty covered all angles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Underdog 2,337 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 It's not just catties. The banning of archery equipment for hunting was a travesty of justice and prevented it being done wrong by zero. Hand guns being banned is the same. Catties are not defined in law so kind of neither illegal or legal. It's like muzzle loading rifles, fine for target shooting in the eyes of the home office but a no go for hunting with and that is despite there not being any written legislation banning their use for hunting! Ironically one can use a smooth bore to hunt with! Go figure. Alot of these laws were/are heavily influenced by the anti hunting groups. Read: very little logic! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U. it may come under stabbing wild life ..not allowed .. but one may be able to argue the need to maintain diversity of cultures in England Scotland and Wales , so today in the diverse country of Britain hunting with spears should be a must . It will create a rich diverse hunting culture mirroring that of the high st takeaway . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 2,337 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Lol brilliant. Halal hunting traditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barrywhite 282 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 OMG another loop hole in the law . If one was to say a little prayer before throwing the spear and if the spear was aimed at the animals neck , how could any one object . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,493 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Its only illegal if you get caught if your close enough to kill something with a catapult you should be good enough to get away ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,817 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Its only illegal if you get caught if your close enough to kill something with a catapult you should be good enough to get away ? and that is the spirit of catty shooting, I,m not very fast at running but in over forty years of catty shooting I,ve never had my collar felt for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
