Tehre are several designs for slingbows. Some are purpose built specifically for arrows and nothing else. Those usually have a whisker biscuit instead of and open Y. Most of those are only for bowfishing instead of big game fishing simply due to the lower draw weight. Those usually have a fishing reel and line on them or a flashlight.
Just about any good slingshot with 9-12mm steel balls will kill small game including snakes. Stone and pebbles are a bit hit or miss, literally and figuratively.
