Anahtepa Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi everyone, This is my intro. I’ve joined this forum to hopefully learn from you guys. I’m wanting to get a slingshot and have never used one before so would like some advice please. My targets I’m after includes pigeons, rats, crows, pheasants and after reading the post on eating squirrels a squirrel or two. Personally I never call squirrels tree rats, but bushy tails! I used to do a lot of shooting with my late husband in Australia, pig shooting and goat shooting. But have no interest in getting a firearms licence in the Uk. The first pig shoot I ever went on I was told once the men were tucked up in there swags, under no circumstance was I to wake them. Well what was I to do when they were fast asleep and a pig wandered into the camp. After 10mins or so I finally woke my fiancé. I had never seen anything so funny, to grown men jumping out there swags trying to get there boots on nothing else, with there semi-automatics. Yelling to me to get into the back of the Ute as pigs are very dangerous. Similar thing happened the first time I went goat shooting! Anyway please bare with me if I post in a forum as I am phonetically dyslectic, and I never mean to offend, Anahtepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Welcome to Pigeon Watch. Its not usual in the UK to hunt with a catapult as many consider it not an effective , or humane weapon. It is definitely not sporting to use one for killing pheasants. If you don't wish to apply for a shotgun certificate, why not purchase an air rifle, many are capable of effectively killing the quarry you listed.
