Slingshot... a good survival tool?

[Tokwan]

Whatever tools or weapon, if you know how to use ut safely, if it is safe, if it is light, small and u can use or shoot accurately, then it is good. Do not bring what you cannot use.

If one knows how to really use and aim a slingshot then it's definitely a reliable choice for a weapon. I've been practicing my aiming skills using a slingshot and it's slowly improving these days. Searching the web for tutorials and videos mostly helped.

I would agree that a slingshot would be a useful tool.
Having said that, you will need ALOT of practice to be able to kill/stun small animals, or to knock fruit from tree branches.
I was pretty good with one as a kid, but haven't shot one in many moons...

Yah I keep it in my kit because I can find some uses for it

Watching phreshayr's newest youtube video made me want to go and get another sling shot to play with. Really like all of his videos.

Slingshots are pretty fun and can help out in a situation where you need to kill or stun an animal

Thank you and glad you enjoy the videos. I was and am still surprised at how easy it is to get fairly accurate with a good slingshot if a person is able to get a few good tips and advice on where they may be going wrong.

I modified one to make it to be able to shoot arrows...it only needed a slight modification to rest an arrow upfront and to hold the nook at the rear...quite powerful and accurate, but not as great as a compound bow.

That sounds interesting! Got any pics of the set up?
