Wayne shares his experience with his own design EVO Field Pro catapult and his preferred ammunition. Everything you need to know is here from what ammo and bands to use to additional equipment that comes in handy during the hunt. He emphasizes the importance of practice and developing aim, as well as the technique for holding and releasing the projectile.

This is fascinating and I’m glad this sport seems to be gaining traction. As a kid I hunted semi-successfully with wrist rockets, but then began hunting with slingshots almost two years ago. I especially like taking them with me as I’m big game hunting with a rifle or bow and then if I see a legal small game animal or bird I can take it with my slingshot. It’s quiet, in my opinion inexpensive and exciting. Have taken multiple species of rabbits, ground squirrel, grouse and invasive birds to the US.
Outstanding! Old school hunter gatherer. Takes me back to my Black Widow all those years ago , mid 80’s . Great to see it done in 2024 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I've gotten plenty in the past with my black widow and still take it out in my bag on walks, just in case. I've had the same one since a kid, only thing I've done is take the wrist brace off.
@@chongy9895 great memories 🇮🇪👌👌

Wow, this video showcases some incredible slingshot skills in action! The accuracy and precision needed for hunting with a slingshot is truly impressive. It's not just about the thrill of the hunt but also the respect for nature and the environment. Kudos to the hunter for demonstrating great marksmanship while enjoying the outdoors. This video is a perfect blend of adventure and appreciation. Sir can you pin my comment?

@@CattyShackHunter impressive to be able to hunt with a slingshot. Here in Portugal slingshot is a child's thing to hunt sparrows 😅 I have seen many of your videos and I am amazed at your aim, you are a true master congratulations 👌💪
@@tiagotb2690 thank you very much 👍🏻
Hi Martin
0.85red band
Taper 25/20
What active band length u cut plz?
It depends on the time of year. Shorter in the cold, longer in the hot. I have an 81cm draw length, and use an active length from 16.5 - 17.5cm 👍
Great work guys,I love the mooch bag I will be ordering one,more videos ASAP Wayne.
Cheers Ian 👍
Why cant you use led on duck?
Would the evo be a good beginner slingshot
Yeah for sure, but start off with a cheaper version. There are starter kits on my website, and a lot of info in the FAQ section. That’ll be the best place to start 👍
So have you got yourself a catapult yet then.😊👌👍
Plus really enjoyed that but never happy as I wish it was longer.😞
Thanks Lee 👍
Good very good shooting that last duck looked like been hit by a train
Thanks Paul 👍
Oh man, is that a Jack Pyke hat Wayne's wearing as well?
Hes even got Jack pyke socks and underpants 👊
@@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069 now... how would you know that 🤔 😂
@@SANDYBANK1000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I legit wanted to know if that's a @jackpyke hat, I love it and wanted to get one.
@@Matthew_Dubroq 😂😂 yes mate, it’s my favourite! Jack Pyke ‘Baker Boy’ 👍
👏👏🍻🍻😊
2:17 how come you cant use the lead on ducks?
Lead shot is banned for use on waterfowl in the UK 👍
Shot my first bird out of the air today I feel like I could go pro now😂😂😂
😂😂👍
Are the birds safe to eat there? I would be afraid the American ones would be full of chemicals. :(
They are totally safe to eat. Everything Wayne hunts, he eats himself personally
Absolutely. We have wood pigeons and city pigeons.
You only want to be taking the wood pigeons with the white on the neck. They’re much smarter and cleaner. Double the size too.
