Looking into the deer act '63 you are allowed to take deer with arrow as long as you have permission and can prove it is to prevent damage to crops etc (same as normal in other words)
Although unfortunately in the later Deer Act '91 it seems they have removed the exceptions allowing "any arrow, spear or similar missile"

So deer are out of the question, unless you somehow managed to get a license from the state allowing the taking of deer with such a device

As for rabbits it seems it may well be possible.
First thought on this is that rabbit shooting would require dumb dumbs, removing the "pointy end" that coppers might not like.
As of yet i cant see any proof that the catapult adapted for missile projection is illegal and i have scoured high and low. Couple more days and i'll feel sure. I'll also bring up the subject with a lawyer friend of mine and an ex-copper i know, see what their views are on it.

The only thing i can find is concerning the carrying of it as possibly being an offensive weapon but i still cant see any proof of this, easiest way around this i should think would be to carry it as a catapult through streets with the arrows detached of dumb dumbs till in the field, even that may not be necessary.
Basically so far common sense approach to stay safe, dont try shooting folk in the street.
