a catapult mi know it as to Neutral
wha mek u use to shoot you self you neva hole ie good
we use to set a thing wha we call"sweep' and ketch the bird too dont kno if you kno it by that name
it was made from a stick that you put in the ground with a piece of string for a noose and then you set it in the ground with a little hole with bait for the bird to come and when they try to eat the bait they would get caught
we use to catch bird like ground dove ane pea dove and after we clean them up we would roast them on the coal and eat them
