ABSTRACT:
A tubular member (A) defines an internal bore (10) in which an inertia assembly (B) for providing a selected inertial force is disposed. The inertia assembly includes a spring (20) and a slidable member (22). An elongated, flexible cable (C) extends from the slidable member, through the tubular member internal passage, and defines a contractible loop externally of the tubular member. Under manual urging of a handle (36) which is operatively connected with a sleeve (34), the sleeve urges the slidable member longitudinally along the tubular member internal passage extending the spring. The slidable member cams a blocking member (70) outward to allow the slidable member to move therepast. After the slidable member is moved toward the tubular member second end past the blocking member, the blocking member blocks the slidable member against return sliding movement. A trigger (78) selectively withdraws the blocking member to allow the slidable member to undergo return sliding movement rapidly contracting the cable. The momentum with which the inertia assembly contracts the cable is selected to be sufficiently strong that the cable breaks a prey's neck, killing it instantly but not so strong that the cable damages the pelt.
