You give me more things to take up the time I don't have already.

But thanks. It looks really neat. Your wooden sling shots look great.

While I don't believe he used para-cord or golf balls, David put one of those to great use.
In the proper hands, it's a formidable weapon indeed.

We made and used slings back when I was about 12. We got pretty good with them. It is an effective weapon. I did take a rabbit with one. We made them of leather thong and leather patch.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

That sling is the only way I'm getting a golf ball to go more than 50 yds....

I threw too many curveballs in my younger days to entertain even trying something like that. My elbow hurts just watching it.

I used to make them out of leather scraps when I was a kid. We could hurl good size rocks 300-400 yds easy and somewhat on target!
