Traditional Knives & Slingshots

I have some gumballs arriving tomorrow for ammo for the big slingshots. Easier than making flour and salt clay balls.

I sent back those bandsets from llamaland. The length of the band assembly, the length of the pouch, and the width of the pouch were all overstated pretty substantially.

That's disappointing Jer, but perhaps not that unusual 🙄👍

It was a silly gamble, except for the free and easy return that gave me nothing to lose except a little time standing in line.

Banded up and went and shot a few clay balls at a target. This small of a frame has me on a steep learning curve. Overall I enjoyed shooting this slingshot. Will have to spend more time with it. :)View attachment 1909925

Cool :cool: Be great to hear how you progress with it. Looked pretty interesting on the website. One of the slingshots I received yesterday was my first Pickle Fork, so that is going to be a new learning curve for me :thumbsup:

I am going to go a little off topic with this post. Forgive me. The post brought back a memory.

My first slingshot was made for me by my grandmother! We selected the proper branch, which she prepped, the elastic was an old tire tube (back when they were still made with rubber) and the pouch was made from a shoe tongue. She knew exactly what she was doing! Fast forward a few years and my slingshots were the wire variety that could be purchased at my local hardware store for a dime. Dimes were hard to come by, so we would hunt up discarded soda bottles for the two cent deposits. My friends and I used those dime slingshots until we became marksmen with them. Our projectiles were rocks carefully selected for weight and size and shape from the dirt road in front of my house.

Amazing the skill sets rural/rural community/"country girl" grandmothers, great grandmothers, and great-great grandmothers had, isn't it? 🤔😁👍
