Fieldsports Britain - expert catapult hunt

Wayne is one of the country's top slingshot hunters - and he shows off his skills with his buddy Matt Lower. They are on a mooch around a Sussex farm permission looking for a pheasant for a pheasant for the pot, squirrels, rabbits and feral pigeons. That's not all. Bedfordshire gamekeeper Paul Childerley completes his rounds with an evening duck flight, trying out the new Eley 2½in steel cartridges. He also has to check what's eating the local rape crop and, thanks to the Zeiss DTI 3/35 thermal spotter, the answer is horrifying. We count 50 deer and hard in one shot. Chris Packham has put out a video on Twitter to com clean about the funding of Wild Justice? News editor Ben O'Rourke investigates. Charlie puts out the best of KZbin's hunting videos in Hunting KZbin, and David reads the news on the News Stump. It's all in #FieldsportsBritain

Wow, this video showcases some incredible slingshot skills in action! The accuracy and precision needed for hunting with a slingshot is truly impressive. It's not just about the thrill of the hunt but also the respect for nature and the environment. Kudos to the hunter for demonstrating great marksmanship while enjoying the outdoors. This video is a perfect blend of adventure and appreciation. Sir can you pin my comment?

Good stuff team, nuts to see a man shoot a squirrel with a catapult that a 100 men couldn't hit with a rifle! . Keep up the good work......looking forward to the Christmas special already!

This guy is an excellent shot, however, most of my buddies can shoot a squirrel no problem with a rifle. I myself use to get paid per hour to shoot ground squirrels after moving water on the farm as a kid.

Do you actually design these catapults?? These professionals all seem to use what look like 'toy' catapults (without forearm support brace), but yet are obviously the best to be found. Do you rate the Diablo and Pro Diablo catapults? In your professional opinion, are they proficient catapults, or just for show??

Yes you will struggle with a black widow the bands are way too heavy not necessarily the correct draw length and the arm brace restricts a correct hold plus the pouches are way way way too big

Got a slingshot during first lockdown. Had one as a kid so it brought back a lot of memories. Whilst on early morning walks with my family I’d get the odd rabbit or pheasant which I’d prepare and cook. It helped pass the time during lockdown. Now my 3 children have one and were all good shots. So walk days are slingshot days. Great fun brilliant stealth weapons.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Any recommendations on a decent slingshot brand? Recently got a fairly cheap one as a gift. Haven't used it much yet but I already have the feeling it won't last long or be too good for hunting. Bands are short, and with my long arms, definitely can't pull the bands back far enough for a stable hold. This one will probably just be a fun little plinker until all the bands break.

I haven't seen anyone on the cattie competition circuit using a slingshot with an arm brace. The best reason to use a brace is to guarantee the catapult is square to your hand, so avoiding hitting your thumb or fingers. With practice, you don't need a brace. Hope this helps. / Charlie
