So as a self titled slingshot expert, from my childhood expierence, I will say that in the last 20 years slingshots have changed significantly. I had a couple wrist rockets of different brands and I could put rocks or ball bearings through glass bottles and even once THROUGH a car windshield with a slingshot bb. The bands are no longer made like this, with the strongest hunting band from academy or other outdoors stores I cant even break a beer bottle.

I’ve used a Barnet Black widow for years, use the right ammunition for the target you aim at, lead balls for hunting and training = massive damage and safer because of lower ricochet risk, steel balls for harder targets, arrows for hunting and small ball bearings bunched together in loose tissue paper for taking birds in flight or even as a distraction,,, that’s how i use mine but pepper balls for paintball guns also work well too apparently.

I carry extra tubing as backup sling and the tube can be used for other applications

This slingshot looks like it could be a great thing to have for the outdoors. I can see myself packing it in my hiking back, so if I need it, it will be there. It looks like it would be a great way to scare off animals or to go hunting.

First of all, that pic of the sling shot up the top of the page is awesome
Secondly, the slingshot is massively underrated for survival. I must admit, it’s something I haven’t given too much though to until now. The slingshot has been around since the stone age like you said and it’s perfect for hunting small game because of the stealth factor and the fact you have endless “bullets”.

In reply to twistedchild. Use jaw breakers or gun balls for practice. They share and are biodegradable. Cheap too.

Cast your own lead balls… they don’t ricochet at all. safer for practice.

We need to remember if faced with a situation where you are on foot, it may be wise to not make alot of noise that might give up your position. Sling shots, bows, throwing sticks, even rocks can bring down game. Think about things that you can carry that are not an apparent threat from a distance. If you are carrying a long gun, it’s lime waving a flag and can be seen from a distance, leaving you vulnerable to ambush. Tomahawks, knives that can be made into spears etc. In a primitive world, be prepared to be primitive.
Get the idea?
