RE: Slingshots/Catapults?
I love my slingshot picked it up a couple of weeks ago. carry it in my bag most days and a packet of mint imperials (they dissolve in rain leaving little to no trace and they're cheap), actually starting to get a bit more accurate with it now but haven't tried taking any game with it yet.
(And I wouldn't use mint imperialism if I did lol)

RE: Slingshots/Catapults?
Dave Canterbury made one on youtube but using rubber bands, he had to remove the elastic first to put them on, I thought sod that, i'll use cable ties, I've got one catapult I can use normally, the other I can use as a slingbow, the only advantage of using rubber bands is you can slide them down to use as a normal catapult so you only need one, I've got several...heck their cheap enough on fleabay!!

RE: Slingshots/Catapults?
If you keep a catapult in our preps remember that the life span of the latex is only about 6 months due to decomposition.
Ozone in the exhaust fumes gets too them as do the UV rays in sun light.
I have one hanging useless on the wall of the shop right now. I have also seen whole rolls of the rubber tubing rot away on the shelf at the local hardware store.

RE: Slingshots/Catapults?
Anybody got one of the old slings?

Some guy from Israel is the Israeli olympic slingshot champion and on the program ancient weapons they did a review and they were mint!!
Plus no rubber to rot...
SORRY BALAERIC ISLANDS CHAMPION NOT ISRAELI< WHOOPS HOPE HE@S NOT READING THIS>>>>
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...
Acorns make good practice ammo. Put a few tin cans in a bush and practice lifting, drawing and firing the catapault in one motion. It's surprising how quickly you will improve.
