Has anyone seen this type of catapult and are they any good for hunting?

Checked the catapult issue out at work, it is an offence to use any missile fired other than from a firearm to hunt any wild animal or bird in Northern ireland. It dosent specifically mention catapults but as you are firing a missile from it and it isnt a firearm it comes under this legislation as does arrows darts etc.

i found out the trick is not to try and aim with the cattapult, but just to focus on the point you want to hit, draw the catty whilst not paying attetntion to it at all, just focusing on a pinpoint you want to hit on the target, and release.QUOTE]
this is the same method i use. look at target then pull and shoot. if i held the elasic pulled tight whilst aiming i would start wobbling all over the place. when i was a kid i wanted an air rifle but my dad wouldnt let me have one until i could knock a pigeon offf a telegraph pole at 50ft. i spent about a year practising with marbles and ball bearings. i managed to prove myself worthy but it took another two years to save up for the rifle i wanted
