Slingshots/Catapults?

[Talon]

Just remember . You can’t hunt in the UK with slingshots using stone ammunition . It’s classed as stoning ( no pun intended ). I’ve been seriously shooting slingshots since lockdown last March . I find 8mm hex nuts to be just as accurate as 9.5 mm steel bearings up to 20 yards . They’re dirt cheap from Wilko . You can buy a bag full for around £3. An 8mm hex nut weighs the same as 9.5 steel bearings but they are bigger and in my opinion easier to shoot as you grip the flats of the nut . And a lot more destructive to the target .I use 6mm hex nuts with low powered bands for practice . They weigh the same as 8mm steel bearings .I shoot ott. It’s good fun making your own too . Hex nuts can veer off at distance but close range ( which is all a sling shot should really be used for) and they’re a good cheap alternative . I use .75mm flat bands . They aren’t over powered for 9.5 mm balls or 8mm hex . Any thicker then hand slap from the bands becomes a problem for me .
