Catapult incident

[TUS373]

Wow. May be time that catapults are banned if they are not already. I had a fishing catapult in my teens. It seemed unbelievably powerful. I never ever loaded it with anything that would be harmful and certainly did not aim it an animals. I can imagine what it would be capable off. Its also quite different to the clinical use of an air rifle that can despatch vermin with a single, precise head shot.

People started buying Black Widow hunting catapults to fire single baits out a long way, but normal fishing catapults are harmless.

Thanks. Back in the 1980s, my fishing catapult resembled that Black Widow (but it wasn't). It was very powerful.
