RE: Using the Slingshot to Hunt Big Game
I'm waiting until the summer to buy a few cheap ones from poundland to practice with.
After that, ill be looking to buy/build a decent quality one.
I already have an idea of building one out of stainless steel bar & ring bolts (not sure if thats the proper name, I mean the bolts with the loop on the end). Then buy some of the asda excercise bands for the elastic. Tie the bands through the loops & away I go. I hope

RE: Using the Slingshot to Hunt Big Game
have got a nice wooden(manufactured not just a forked stick) one i got at a car boot last year for 50p, junked the old elastics and fitted a DOUBLE power band, have ordered a cheap metal one with wrist support from China..if its any good will buy a few more for bartering purposes.

BP, would you really want to trade something which then gives the person the tool to injure you? What if they use it on you & take everything from you, including what they traded in 1st place.
Maybe better to just stock a few as spares for yourself. Just my thoughts.

i dint really mean trading with just anyone, i dont intend to trade ANYTHING with people i dont know or trust, so my original idea was this one from China is so cheap i would buy a few more as its cheaper than buying new power bands. just been watching the video in full, this trick with the arrow has given me a few ideas!

You can get specific bands for sling shots, I don't know if they are cheaper than the exercise bands, just something to look in to

I think the people who try and turn on you after a trade would be few and far between.
Trade is important and has been for a very long time, especially when it comes to specialized items like ammo, weapons and skills. However if there is someone threatening you after or during a deal you can have your group with you or hidden in the surrounding area ready to pounce
