have any of you guys hunted anything with a slingshot and also what kind of ammo do you use
I have made one but never hunted with it. Just use little rocks as ammo. Mitch.chesney just posted a video about them. It und on this page call no gun, now bow, no problem. That guy is awesome.
Yes I have...,Quote:
Has anyone here hunted with a slingshot?
White marbles...,Quote:
What kind of ammo do you use?
wat was the kill and wat range if u no
I usually use ball bearings. You can kill a squirrel within about 15-20 yards. Darn fine eating too. I use a wrist rocket type sling shot, and always carry a couple extra packs of elastics. Which have other uses in themselves.
where do u get ball bearings....i used a gum ball to tke a rabbit and a bird
Use a pebble or rock...costs less.
yes I have. It is a folding wristrocket with a storage handle. I've taken squirrel, bunnies, and wood grouse with it. I use .32 and .50 lead round ball that I cast.
wats the biggest u taken btw how do u cast balls
Cast lead ball. I never thought of that but it should work really well. Thank you for the idea.:)Quote:

Never really thought of a slingshot for food gathering.Havent shot one in ions.A replacement band might be a good light bugout item to pack.You could cut the Y once its needed.My thinking is shooting 2 or maybe 3 balls at once instead of just one would increase your odds of hitting something.
You can google deer hunting with a slingshot and find a guy who sells big-time heavy hitting slingshots. I wanted one, but never got it. Seems like it would be useful to have a small, light, quiet tool with such power and able to use rocks as ammo. A good silent game getter, definitely.
Not sure if the link is right, but here is a video on how to modify a basic wristrocket to take down deer with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGIcCRJGYug
No, I haven't because here hunting with slingshots is illegal, as is hunting with crossbows, BB guns and bows weaker than 45lb's.
you have a tradeoff between mass and cast.Quote:

with multiple projectiles in one shot, you have multiple objects of lesser killing power traveling less far.
I use the folding Wrist Rocket and Marbles to discourage the Geese from getting too comfortable in my yard. :innocent:
At a 100yds to the waters edge, I usually get a thump in da bum, a sqawk, and a quick procession to the water. I get about a 80% hit rate at that distance. Most of the time after a few weeks "training", all I need do is walk out on the deck and they start running.
I believe you could hunt well for small game with one.
"... how do u cast balls."
I cannot believe you wise guys did not seize on that opportunity!!!:spam:
WAY, WAY too easy.:innocent: I have one, use select pea gravel for discouraging pets (not mine) from using the yard as a "pit stop".:sneaky2:Quote:

They make stronger bands now. Tapered red ones offer a slight velocity advantage, Newest black ones much stronger. In my youth I had a folding wrist rocket. I used steel ball bearings, marbles and .44 calibre lead round balls.
killed a squirrel or two, at least one rabbit and a pheasant before the age of 16.
Now with the heavier bands , a whisker biscuit arrow rest replacement biscuit, two zip ties some golf tees and some after the season sale wally world carbon arrows you can turn a wrist rocket into a sling bow and take big game.
dave caturbury from the pathfinder school has some killer vids on how to modify a wrist rocket for big game hunting but yet still be able to shoot small game too. He even shows how to set it up to use for bow fishing. Vey cool and i would encourage asnyone who hunts with a sling shot to check it out
Yep. Post #14 has the link. He does have some good tutorials on you tube.Quote:

The modification shown can be left on, out of the way when not in use.
I use a wrist rocket (among other things) for BYB's, scourge of the garden. With the arrows, a little more difficult to handle quickly, but have scored with it.
Arrow got caught on the fence when he/she? tried to run away, but it worked.
All in all, I think the slingshot would be a quite, viable small game getter, in any situation.
