What about hunting with a slingshot?

I asked earlier if anyone hunted with a primitive bow, but I was wondering if anyone hunts with a slingshot? That would be impressive.

 

I hunted some with a sling shot/pocket rocket as a kid. As an adult I find Broken power bands to be more than a nuisance. Slings take more skill to use, but are much easer to make in the feild and don't suffer fallers neir as often.
If one has doubts about the effectiveness of slings, remember the Romans developed sugical instraments for removing sling glands (lead bullets) from the bodies of the injured.
Don't use the "David" swing, twirling over your head gives you more range, and if 50 of your budies are attempting to rain stones into a group standing in the next intersection, this works very well. But for hunting a overhand swing is best. With your arm down beside your leg, you drop the stone (in the pouch) and swing your arm back and over. I basically point my finger at the target.
Egg shaped stones are the best, for consistent shot one can form "stones" from redi-mix, or buy the large slip weights from a fishing out fit.
I started out using golf balls. They are not the same but it allows you to build the basic skills with a relitivly safe projectile (like using a BB gun to practice your basic is before using a rifle)

 

There was a guy on YouTube who was using a slingshot kind of device to shoot arrows. He got to be pretty good at it.

 

As fun as a slingshot sounds if you are hunting in a PA environment it will be a time consuming dangerous task!
A decent Bow would be the minimum to minimise time and effort expended for results gained!
A suppressed .22LR would be an ideal weapon
Short of a bow or rifle for hunting a few snares and a handy stick will be best for hunting!

ps the sling is an open area weapon and is next to useless in close wooded or urban areas!

Until recently I hunted often for the pot, I tried many and varied weapons over the decades
there is nothing like a .22LR for making a hunt quick and bountiful!
I have tried
crossbows
Longbows
Compound bows
Recurve bows
Slings
Slingshots
Spears
Rock throwing
Knife throwing
Ferrets
Snares
Shotguns
Centrefire rifles
Air rifles
Boomerangs
Hand grenades
Smoking
Netting
Bolo's
Dogs

Yet the humble .22LR of most any type in good condition reigns supreme!
and subsonic ammo!

If game is seen within 100m and I have the .22LR I return with meat!

 

Having had a reasonable amount of dealings with keen bow hunters here are a few things I have learnt'
Arrows break
Arrows get lost
Homemade arrows are inferior to factory made stuff
Compound bows and homemade arrows should never meet!

Overall there is about a 90% reusability rate when hunting with arrows or if you like a 10% attrition rate!
When you do the numbers that gives about 1,000 shots while hunting if you start with 100 arrows!
Decent hunting arrows are around $12 each and you get about ten hunting shots before it is lost or damaged beyond repair
that's about $1.20 per shot!

Just for comparison I am using .22LR ammo I bought way back in 1984 at $1.34 for a box of 50
That's approx. 50 times cheaper!
Admittidly ammo is no longer that price but $0.10 per round now it is still ten times cheaper than decent arrows

Still way cheaper per shot with a .22LR

Back in 1984 I bought enough .22LR ammo to last three lifetimes, I only buy the odd box of subsonics since then!
I see no need to ever run out!
