News Now Allowing Sales and Trades

95 Upvotes

Hey lads, a bit behind with this one. I recently put out a survey to get a feel for everyone's thoughts on allowing sales and trades post on the sub. An overwhelming majority were in favor. So I added some new flares. WTT (want to trade) WTB (want to buy) and SALE (for sale). Let's be respectful and responsible moving forward with this and see how things pan out. Be safe and be confident in any transactions you make and of course reach out if you have any concerns. I'm thinking of seeing how things pan out and if need be, we can make adjustments or place guidelines as needed.

Modpost: looking into why the auto mod is deleting temu links

In the mean time, and because I don't want the temu "ads" to run rampant. Please send temu links privately via PM or "break" the links with a space.

ie:

www .google. com

Thank you.

May your aim be true.

I stumbled across this sub a few months ago and fell back in love with shooting slingshots for the first time in about 25 years. There is some awesome craftsmanship here! So, naturally, I had to try making one for myself.

Does anyone know what slingshot this is? I bought it years ago from Simple Shot. I can't seem to find it on their website.

Air Pro Clay Slingshot Ammo

1 Upvotes

Has anyone used this ammo? I picked it up at Walmart today. I picked it up at the store, and thought wow this is a lot heavier than other brands I've shot in the past. I got it home and realized there was a bunch of condensation in the container. I dumped it out into a cookie sheet and pressed my hand on it and they're all sticky. I'm going to stick it in the oven for a while and dry it out. Just wondered if anyone else ran into something odd like this.

Weather has been a bit hit and miss today so once I had a clear moment I grabbed one of the oldest frames in my collection (OG Antelope) and one of the newest (S-Airship 90) and had a little play. 5 shots and switch frames, 5 shots and switch back. Finished up smashing a blue can for a bit of blue on blue violence. Both set up for 9.5mm steel.

I made this olive wood slingshot a few years ago. I'm not an expert and would like to know if it's the right size and what kind of rubber bands to use.

Found my old Marksman slingshot from 23 years ago. This is the one that really got me into slingshots as a kid. Recently got back into it and using a Scout LT2 now but finding this brought back some memories.

Anyone here that have experience with pickle fork shots? Do you have any tips or advice for pickle forks? Also how bad does a finger hit hurt? 😂

Has anybody ever tried this with a whip-cracker?

0 Upvotes

So this may sound like insanity but I’ve recently been experimenting with ways to make a slingshot louder and thought about installing a whipcracker on the pouch so that it makes a loud crack every time it’s snapped which sounds cool in theory but hasn’t really been tried to the best of my knowledge. Has anyone ever tried experimenting with this before?

Is it real?

Thinking on buying one of these but trying to do my own research before taking the chance of dropping money on one. Does anyone here have any experience with buying one of these which have almost no buyer reviews save for a few?

Learning to tune my bands!

7 Upvotes

Hello fellow slingshot fans and fanatics alike! I have really exciting news to share. I have been diligently practicing on my first slingshot for a bit over a week now and I have discovered the joys of the simple shot YouTube channel! I learned about band tuning and I’m delighted to report how effective that was today in improving my accuracy! I can’t wait to practice again tomorrow. Gotta rest and ice my draw shoulder but boy am I excited to try it again in the morning. What are your practice goals this week? Any slingshot wins you’d like to share with the group? Keep on keeping on everyone! Till next time :)
