Default Slingshot

There is a thread regarding bow and arrows used for hunting. How about sling shot? I learned from watching a documentary that people in the ancient times use sling shot to shoot birds. I guess they are very much skilled in using this weapon.

Have you tried sling shot hunt birds? I did tried this with hitting cans but its hard to aim.

That guy was amazing. I wish I had that skill so I wouldn't bring guns on my duck hunting. I played sling shots when I was younger and its not easy to aim. But this guy can even hit a coin in thin air.

I have a slingshot but its a different one. The one that I have is the slingshot that you swing before releasing the stone. Aiming with this is harder but that impact is much greater depending on how fast your swing is.

I was always good at throwing rocks and using slingshots but this guy is amazing. Thanks Jason for sharing his story here. It really made my day!

Way to go Rufus, you're the man! I can't believe my eyes how precise are his hits. I mean, only John Wayne and Bert Lancaster could have made such shots.
