yes but the use of a slingshot is not as widely known as a hunting tool more as a little boys toy. so the animal rights maniacs didnt campaign about it and ban it.

its a shame you cant bow hunt really. its very humane. if you miss with anything you are allowed to shoot a rabbit with and just injure it then it will still run off down a burrow to get gangrene and die, but miss with an arrow and even if it isnt pinned to the ground it will have trouble running through a hedge or down a hole so you can dispatch it swiftly and humanely.

and i suppose if you really wanted to you could hunt with throwing knives...

you would have to be on a serious man point quest to hunt with a spear!
Swiss Arrow : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCyKrQDFA28
Actual range seems approx 100 yards

Accuracy at that range I'm sure would be very low, but hey being able to lob a pointy stick or 10, from a distance, into a flock of feeding or flying birds, might have had it's advantages ( especially if they were feeding on what would otherwise be your foraged meals )
I'd expect it'd be illegal to hunt with in UK

when i was younger we called the swiss arrow a dutch arrow use to make them out of cane and a bit of cardboard a nother old hunting tool from the new forest was a snog again a stick with a lead weight on one end used for squirrels[ red ] ones
just wondering about thrusting spear and jabbing spear legality? as on our survival quest we had a couple inhabied dreys in out camp, (literally 1.5 meters away from our shelter), and i was wondering how to extricate them. ?
and then about throwing spears??

Drey poking is commonly done on estates (greys are nasty things). However there's usually a few people standing round with lead launching equipment. Perhaps you could be crafty and strategicaly place a few squirrel poles before poking?
