This is a local hunter, proudly displaying his trophy and choice of weapon, a homemade catapult. He states that he uses ball-bearings and only goes for headshots. One shot is all it takes....
 
So maybe we can do with less firepower ourselves???
 
P.S. I would like to see him deal with some angry buffalo ....

The bigger the critter, the bigger the ball bearings??? Just wondering. Good for him though. I'll bet I couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a handful of ball bearings. LOL.
If we're not suppose to eat animals...how come they're made of meat?

I think there's still milk on it's lips. Eat and Drink Meat is meat I reckon. 


Actually cool that he can hunt with a sling. I'd have to cover myself in hay and strangle something with a sling. 

If God didn't want me to play with it, he'd of made my arms shorter.

Some people are just naturally accurate. This old fart is amazing.

Those Blank Blank Iraquis were too darn good with those slings too. They could hit a soldiers helmet just over a riot shield out to 70yds. Not ever time but, alot of guys learned the hard way to shoot from behind the shield. I'll have to see if I can dig up some of the pics of the guard towers they distroyed with slings and rocks.
Take care of Soldiers, Show em how its done and do it with em, Run to the Fight & and hold your ground! I die my men go home! If you're a NCO and this ain't you. GET OUT! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Saw a thing on those little critters on discovery channel. Fast as hell, that guy must be a very good shot if he's hitting them with a sling.

Sling shots, and blow darts all work well until your target is a zombie. I'm thinking I'm under gunned.

He uses a trebuchet for buffalo. He is in the process of building a catapult and a ballista.
