As I understand things, in the UK...
Bowhunting is illegal, But hunting with a rabbit stick is legal, just like hunting with a catapult.
Does anyone know whether hunting with an Atlatl is legal or not?
I can't find any information about it, and I can't work out whether it would be included under archery rules (as it is basically a really big arrow) or whether it would be classed as a rabbit stick (well, you do throw it! )
I'v made a couple of atlatl's in the past, and I'm fairly accurate with them. I would like to test myself against some real prey, so would appreciate any info.
Cheers.
Matt.
