Making a catapult - handmade catapult - making a catapult from wood
Hi all, welcome to a another video.
In this video I decided I was going to carve a natural catapult (natty) from a fallen beech tree in our local woodland.
I take you through the process of making this catapult step by step.
A catapult is a great survival tool and Bushcraft essential, great for hunting small game (please do not hunt if until you are competent with a sling shot)
This came out really nice and shoots nicely. I hope you enjoy the video and please remember to hit the like button, subscribe if you haven’t already. Any questions, please ask away in the comments below!
Stay safe and keep well, see you all again very soon.

Great video thanks for showing us some wood carving things I have two large size forks I've harvested one I carved dries and banded already the other is beautiful white oak I've lightly sanded it before major carving work and the forks are not a perfect V so I can't do a template outline etc so I plan to hand eye alone freestyle carve it but as it stands now it's so nice looking it feels smooth just like ivory you will mistake it for ivory easily. I don't know what to do with it so now I'm looking at videos to get ideas came across this one so thanks so much for this video stay blessed

When your target shooting in the wood like in this video do you use steel bbs or do you use light clay ball ammo? If you use steel bbs do you catch them to use again or do you not use a ammo backstop catcher such as a sheet or a towel etc..the reason I don't want to shoot in the woods much is because I do t want to waste and loose my bb ammo so I will always use a ammo stopper and pick up the ammo when I done if I used clay ammo I'd always only put on weak bands matched for the clay ammo etc

@AshOutdoorsUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mate, I usually just practice at home in a catch box. Always use steel, never even shit clay before. I’d usually hang a sheet in the woods but only shot a few off for the purpose of this video. It was a cracking little frame. A bit gutted I gave it away in the end! Lol
