Hi, are here people who hunt with slingshots? i like it alot! and my son also. we have togheter 4 slingshots, 3 homemade and 1 bought one. i shoot now for like a half year and i'm pretty good, i keep practising till next summer and then i go hunting with my son. So what do ya'll think about hunting with a slingshot? :D
 
I think it would be fun to hunt with one. You would about have to hit a animal in the head to stop it though.
 
I practice with a slingshot, but I don't think I would really ever hunt with one. No doubt it would be fun, just not my cup o tea.
 
I tried once, set up some cans at about 20 feet away and I couldnt hit nothin! lol. Maybe I coulda practiced a little more.
 
I was like the grim reaper to small game when I was younger.

My best friends dad was a mechanic and he would bring us home tons of big ball bearings for ammo. I dropped everything with a slingshot and even fed myself for a few months with one (supplimented with some Chef boyardee) while doing some extremely extended woods trips during my highschool years.

I still have a few slingshots laying around that get used from time to time, though I don't use them for hunting anymore.
 
i tried a bit of backyard squirrel hunting when i was younger, things always seem to dodge them. i imagine you would have to hit them in the head to kill them though.
 
man if you like hunting with a sling shot you should check out wildernessoutfitters on you tube. dave made a sling shot bow i think its called check it out its pretty cool he also made a bow fishing kit out of it even made a home made reel to go with it

Okay, here's Mr. Bill's slingshot story. When I was a tike, about ten years old, I had a slingshot made by Whamo. Cost $1.50. My friend Joe and I used to play around with slingshots all the time. Great fun. Anyway, Joe had an older brother who was a member of the city fire department. On day Joe and I were messing aroung in a big prarie. Joe had a BB gun and I had my slingshot. Along comes the older brother, the guy in his late twenties or early thirties. He's carrying a broomstick. He asks Joe and me if we'd like to play war. We know we've got him outgunned so we say yes. With that, big brother grabs Joe's BB gun and starts blasting us in the butt, thighs, etc. Man, those BBs hurt.

Big brother focued mainly on Joe as the three of us were running through the prarie. When the brother wasn't looking, I ducked off the trai and layed in ambush in some high weeds. I loaded up my Whamo with 1/2 a housebrick. When big brother came roaring down the trail pelting his little brother, I unloaded my housebrick. It hit the older brother right in the forehead. His feet and legs kept running but his head stayed where it was. He fell on his back with a huge goose egg and a small cut on his noggin. War over!!!

I like slingshots.
 
pretty awesome story willieboy, i bet he learned his lesson!

if im going to use a slingshot i always liked the ball bearings they sell for slingshots, although finding a good rock in the yard always works well.
