A slingshot or catapult is a small hand-powered projectile weapon. Slingshot was used for combat, shooting the fruits on high tree and hunting small animals.


Crossbow Archery


During ancient warfare eras, crossbow was used for defensive and support role. Crossbow users can carry more arrows because those length are shorter than traditional arrows, but crossbow is slower to be reloaded because it string heavier than traditional bow, it need two hands to pull it string.



Modern Shooting


Shooting is modern competitive sport developed from traditional bow archery, crossbow archery and then modern shooting sport using handgun and rifle. The first created firearm was the fire lance (Huo Qiang) developed in the 10th century, which evolved into the metal-barreled hand cannon Heilongjiang by the 13th-century Yuan dynasty.









Bow Archery


During ancient warfare eras, bow was used for offensive role. Bow was used to raid the enemy directly, because it string can be pulled only with one hand so the archer can shoot the arrows and reload it quickly.
