Here is the Bumf from the website:
‘Hunter catapults’ is a small cottage based company nestled into the downs of rural Wiltshire.
I have been making catapults for a couple of decades and have made many custom catapults for folk for some time too, some metal and some wood. I have always preferred wood, it looks great and the varieties available are extensive.
The Hunter has been developed specifically with hunting in mind and I have taken a good few meals with one too!The feature that really sets these catapults apart from other commercially available catapults is the fitting of doubled ‘Theraband gold’ ,this is believed to be the world’s leading catapult elastic and is used by many of the leading catapult shooters and catapult craftsmen alike, and makes the Hunter capable of 210fps!!! That’s 18ftlbs.
‘Hunter catapults’ have been developed to fit comfortably in large and smaller hands assuring many happy hours of target shooting or hunting.
If you think that the UK air gun law limits pistols to 6ftlbs and rifles to 12ftlbs you may have a little more respect for the humble back pocket catapult and it’s very capable 18ftlbs. I imagine this kind of power is mainly possible if you’re shooting hand cast lead shot and I got a couple of samples sent to me with the catapult. I also have a good amount of stainless steel but care has to be taken due to ricocheting. Also I am not a big fan of using the shot and bearings if not hunting as I don’t like littering the wilderness with metal. I normally practise with good old fashioned round stones.
