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.

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!
