Hunting Fish with a Handmade Catapult

Hunting, fishing, catch, capture, archery and so is the way humans seek game, and in order to achieve the goal that people try to use various means and methods of hunting, and on how to get the game might be a different way.

There is a bit of a unique way of hunting that I have ever seen and I've also been trying to do, maybe this way is somewhat risky, and it takes patience and a high accuracy.

This method takes extra patience, waiting for the target to be hunted or visible surface and the target fish that are hunted.

Archery hunt or fish in the river or pond of clear water or strong currents this is an effective way to get the game without losing a result, why? as the result of having been exposed to hunting arrows we will not run away and we will easily pull it up without having to go down to the river or pond.

Equipment needed may not exist in the store or at the market, because the tool is the result of its own assemblies, equipment, among others:
1. Needle arrows
2. Thread rod
3. Reel fishing line
4. Catapult

1. Needle arrows
This needle is a modification of iron or nails are made in such a way to form an arrowhead, filed or grinded manner. Find a material that is not easily corroded (stenlees steel).





2. Thread rod
Fishing line is used here because of the flexibility and elasticity. We use a fishing line with a diameter of 0.45 mm were rolled into a scroll made of bamboo or other material that is formed in such a way with the handle for grip.



3. Reel fishing line
The rolls are made of bamboo in the middle holes, better roads we take bamboo bamboo near a tree stump, because the hole is rather small. Take a section approximately 1 out of bamboo and give the skin in a hole about 1-2 mm.





4. Catapult
Here serves as a trigger catapults to hurl arrows needle. The material can be of wood or tree trunk shaped like the letter Y. With a bicycle tire rubber strap and thread pelontarnya thick and strong as the needle hook arrow.



How merangkainya, fishing line is wound into a roll of bamboo then end of the thread was tied to the needle tip arrows.



Then a needle is inserted into the hole in the lint roller, with a pointed tip that leads to the outside. And the needle tip arrows tied fishing line is clamped at the end of the thread rollers grip rubber cover on old tires as the retaining clamps. Pinch the thumb.



Then attach the rubber catapult arrows in the middle of the needle that has a hole. Then aim at the target, pull the catapult towards the front like archery, remove the needle thread tongs. Needle sped toward the target.

If we stay immobilized target can roll the yarn can be lifted up game.

Remember, the thread rod should be tight and not loose as if it is loose at the time of needle arrows leveled again be turned towards us.

Here it takes patience and a high accuracy, because the target is always moving and this tool without binoculars. It only takes instinct.
