Took about 1 wk. of golf balls with a 23" sling to be able to "toss" them with consistency. Saw a dude slinging marsh-mellows. Made a 15" sling, cleared a path in the living room, set up a cardboard Elvis. and zip (they're fast) 5 or 6 marsh-mellows at him during commercials. Poor guy, I seem to hit him in the nuts a lot. My accuracy isn't great but my ability to throw, using different styles, has jumped ahead.

I wanna buy a slingshot off of Amazon and go squirrel hunting. I heard they're pretty tasty.

Why do so many people have that profile pic of the duck-horse? What's the story with that?

a giant among men used this avatar, of a breeding project he had. he was recently given a temporary month long ban, unfairly, most of us feel. so this is an act of solidarity till he comes back.

Fides et unitatis. Alts are always an option until the post block/ban is over. Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if it is easy to get post blocked/banned on this website.

stay out of the political section and its almost impossible, step into to it, and its almost unavoidable.

I've wondered that myself ? (although I don't get out much anymore)
I have a slingshot too, a wrist Rocket, haven't thought about it for years but its pretty awesome! I was a pretty good shot with it too, I've got the steel balls and the white ones that shatter for ammo

I've watched videos on youtube where people go rabbit and squirrel hunting with a slingshot. Makes me wanna hit a squirrel in the head, skin it, grill it, and eat it. I'm so savage.

A sling-shot needs a bit of practice to hit a squirrel at much beyond 20'. Good luck. I never liked squirrel much. Might have been how we cooked it. Rabbit is better IMO.

I've never had squirrel. Had some rabbit a long, long time ago. Way back in the day, although I don't think it was meat, but rather, an organ.

Make a short one. Accuracy improves quickly.

that it used to be full of real TROLLS...but they got old, and retired. the new trolls are good at causing trouble and ingratiating themselves to mods, but that's about it

I grew one last year. Worked well with some kentucky windage. Even got a fox who was stealing a chicken. He turned around twenty feet later and ran back and grabbed it but I slowed him down some.

Did you hit it in the head?

Poorly placed hind quarter shot with a 3/8" stainless nut (its what I had on hand). He looked back at me real pissed off like before grabbing the bird again.
He is now my fert for pumpkins but no thanks to the sling.

Yeah that's pretty hardcore.
The old Chinese guy next door goes to the park and throws rocks to kill them to make his chop suey, just sayin'
