Slingshots/Catapults?

[Talon]

Hi Tartar.I hope you're doing well mate.Yes I had an Osprey,absolutely gorgeous bow I stupidly sold it and shot a Tradtech Titan 2 with Uukha carbon limbs with good results at my local club.Sadly I no longer shoot competitively and haven't for a few years now. That Tradtech with those limbs was sweet though,and remarkably smooth for such a short set up

Hex nuts are a regular shape.They just aren't spherical or especially aerodynamic but for my range that's not a problem.I actually shoot them with no issues up to around 20 yards.They do veer of course after that but for slingshot hunting range they work.No they won't ever be used for target shooters but for me they work very well,and as a cheap expedient ammunition I really can't fault them .I shoot with a short draw style and anchor to my cheekbone so 20 yards max is all I do as the power isn't there for longer (humane) range and I can't stand butterfly style .
I actually think a lead torpedo shape pointed at either end would be the absolute best for the low powered slingshot when it comes to maximising the wound for humane hunting. Hex nuts do ricochet but not nearly as much as steel balls.Personally I'm not a fan of steel bearings. I do shoot .36 lead balls as I have a mould for those but too be honest,I love shooting 8mm hexnuts.Never tried marbles.
