    I've never hit a window w/ a slingshot. However, those glass doors in front of the actual doors are a different story.....

    Why do some people even put a glass door in front of the real one? It makes very little sense.

    It's an American thing. See, we put up fake doors in front of real doors to fake out folks from Finland. Oh, and those darn Ruskies, too. I don't know how many I've seen get trapped between them.

    Okay, enough fun. Insulation. The dead air space between prevents the inner door from becoming hot or cold so it doesn't transfer the cold or hot air inside.

    or sometimes it's just for the ambiance of an open door without letting all kinds of flies and such inside, as in the screen doors with glass panes in them.

    Has any one tried a fling.....do'nt laugh.. I'm for real, a limber stick about three feet long and small green fruit,percimons,scupernogs and small green peaches . Stick the fruit on the end of the stick and whip it. you can get tremendous velocity and with a little practice fair accuracy have taken quail like this at times.

    One thing for sure all the nuts ain't in the woods. You all need to stand in a big circle and fling all those goodies at a target in the middle. I would volunteer to be the target. I guess it wouldn't take long til I was the only one standing, after all some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

    Default Slings

    I am new to the survival and wilderness community here, although I have been slinging for about a year and a half now and have gotten pretty good with accuracy, but i did end up conking myself in the head during the early stage of practice

    Seems like every time I start to heal up a bit somebody comes up with something I hurt myself with awhile back. Well Folks, I ain't gonna fall for it this time. NO slings, NO throwing sticks, no trips to the ER. I quit!!!
