I'm impressed! smile

Like most kids where I grew up, I tried my hand at hunting squirrels with a slingshot. It was fun, but for putting food on the table, I had to use my .22 rifle. Getting one with a slingshot was more luck than skill.

Clearly, that old boy didn't have the luxury of having a rifle. Man, he's good.

Onward and upward,

This deffinately shows the lethality of a slingshot. These things need regulated and registration! There should be at least a 3 day waiting period.

This solidifies my resolve to get one and start practicing. If nothing else it serves as a quiet deterrent to stray dogs, coyotes and other undesireables wihtout putting a tell tale BANG! in the air.

Couldn't get that accurate with my wrist rocket, but it would put a fair size ball bearing a few inches in to a foam archery target.

At those ranges, hitting a rabbit probably wouldn't be hard, getting close enough would be.
