Ok so last three years I've seen these deals popping up from Asian countries a lot on the social medias. At first they where kinda crude home made deals really just being made to fire small rocks or ball bearings. Really all that was required usually was the basics for a sling shot and some nails and a ride of some sort like these

And people where using them mainly for shooting cans and birds and small game. Well after a while they evolved and became a bit more mainstream and refined. Few companies actually started selling pre fabbed ...trigger ?...gripper ? .. assemblies

Well now their apparently kinda popular now . There's a lot of refined factory offering that have stock optics,lasers , cocking assisted and what I've seen alot is accessories for fishing similar to how you'd do a bow fishing deal

They use these lil dart type deal instead of arrows

Looks goofy as all get tout but when you live in counties like these where getting an actual gun of any kind or even a bow is illegal or highly restricted guess it's an interesting solution

Those bowfishing setups look more dangerous than a monkey with a cocked shotgun!

Those are interesting, especially the darts for fishing, but if you ever saw what some guys can do with a regular slingshot it will amaze you.

Fish in that video was staged see how red his fins are . He was dead or near death as he did wiggle once. Watch a bowfishing video of Asian carp and watch what happens when they get hit. Go crazy
