Sling and shot

Sling and shot
A sling is a simple leather pouch in the middle of a length of rope (any strong fabric will do if you have no leather). Attach puch as one piece threaded through, or two tied or sewn on.

Slingshot technique:
Use round smooth pebbles 2cm (3/4 inch) across. Swing the sling above the head in a circle lined up on your target. Release one end of rope and ammunition should fly at target. Experiment with sling length to achieve acuracy and distance.

HAHAHA i found this funny pic of the technique, gotta love it, but essentially it is the technique as descibed, just a funny pic.

lol I doubt that would be as acurate as a standard sling shot.

of course it wouldn't be unless you practiced a lot, however if you were in a situation where you didn't have an elastic material it would be a good quick option. You could get a heck of a lot of power going with one of them. Think about how fast ppl pitch a softball. And they do that accuratly.

i have had bad luck lately with store bough sling shots. I don't know if it's b/c i keep using the same model but it keeps breaking whre the rubber meets the steel frame. I liked it b/c of the shorter band resulted in higher velocity but i think that pulling it back further then it should be is what keeps killing it. I'm gonna pick up another one i think. I love sling shots b/c ammo is rocks and i'm pretty deadly with them.

ive heard of them, they can become very accurate with pracise and can produce way more damage than a sling shot if mastered.

Im thinkin about gettin a sling shot

they are fun to shoot, have to say. I'm gonna pick up a new one once i get my bills all paid off this month. I've had bad luck with a few of them and go threw the bands really quickly. gonna try a different one next time.

I made one of those, but I think it's to lond Confused

Sorry about the crappy pic.

eric

if you think it is too long just wrap one end around your hand a few times and bunch up the other end and hold it so you can still release it quickly. Let us know how it works.

I'll try that, thanks Very Happy

eric

correct length is when you have arms at your sides it should hang about 2 " above the ground I have made 3-4 and they are quite powerfull now I just need to be able to hit where I aim lol (lotsa practice in store for me

I have been trying sling shots lately but it seems I can only hit the target when GLOCK or Springfield XD is printed on the side.

So I guess I need more practice! Rolling Eyes

Heres a lil trick I learned works with both the wrist rocket or the sling ,, instead of just the normal steelie or round rock try wrapping 8 or more BB's in a paper towel or tp instantly you now have a scattergun of sorts ,, have fun but be very carefull they can be quite lethal
