I don't think I've ever seen him miss a shot!Quite a shot there. I like the blood(?)- stopper, right after the full-size rabbit-stopper. Maybe it's bloke-stopper.
Better get my walk in before it heats up.
With any luck I'll become too exhausted to work in the yard.
Have you got your seven-league boots on JerOn my way with my earth-gathering stride.
Nice acquisitionWell Jack, I picked this up a few days ago and after watching a couple of tutorials on Zach Fowler’s website I was amazed at the accuracy of this slingshot. I figure with a bit more practice I’ll be lighting matches at 50 feet in no time.Looks good with the Harvey Special too!

That's cool Jon, watching instinctive shooters is always fun!You guys must have seen Rufus Hussey ?
Looking forward to seeing them Jer"Oh, bother the one (or two) that must be in the garage (or basement)", said Pooh.
I have a Beeman with a folding wrist crutch and a plain-shank Marksman expected tomorrow.

Since these will be with me (and ±2000 0.5" clay balls) I might give them a go, too.

The wrist support adds finnickiness and bulk without function, but maybe when I'm a little older I'll appreciate the function.
I can see I'll want a smaller, flatter one eventually.
I expect I'll try them. I have clay balls arriving tomorrow, because I couldn't find any spherical candy at the store that wouldn't give me sticky pockets or cause me to overeat.One of the great thing about the modern flat-bands Jer is they take a lot less effort to pull back![]()
LOL!I expect I'll try them. I have clay balls arriving tomorrow, because I couldn't find any spherical candy at the store that wouldn't give me sticky pockets or cause me to overeat.
Meanwhile, I'll try crab-apples.
Thank you Jack. It's a very good slingshot. I have a 2 mile route that I walk most days. Every household in Arkansas has at least one dog and most have several. No fence, no leash, no control. The slingshot is what I use to adjust their attitude and bring them around to seeing things my way. Very few need to be schooled more than once.That's a nice one Harvey, how do you find it?Great pic
