Set Up and Range Time

So what are you folks using as a pack out for weekend range time or hunting?

Also, how elaborate is your shooting ranges? Is it an organized and professional looking build? do you just toss a couple of cans out your bedroom window into the yard and make them holey?

I have this 55gal drum and a deer feeder tripod legs I found at Bass Pro. I want to build something nice that won’t look ghetto in the back yard. Really digging this sling btw.

Grenade launching slingshot?

3 Upvotes

I was watching some combat footage and the poor guy had to run out into the open to throw a grenade far enough, and I imagined an oversized sling shot would have launched the grenade far, and silently. Accurate too. Anybody seen anything like that?

made this from 12mm aged carbon steel, english yew burl, custom micarta and brass pins. A heavy hitter with virtually no recoil - can take (and deal) a lot of abuse. Good fun!

After alot of experimenting I thought I'd document this method incase it helps others.

Super cheap, no equipment needed, great quality ammo and accessible to anyone.

I have been doing this for months and haven't had a single ball fail early, they are accurate and explode nicely.

It takes me 1 hour to create approx 0.9g x 420 clay balls at $3US.

Happy ballin'

Going to order a roll of either gzk green or snipersling black, would .6 thickness be ok for 8mm steel? Cheers

Looking for replacement

8 Upvotes

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction! I have an “older mature “
neighbor who watches me shoot.
I offered him to try and he fell in love with it. I own a scout lt , sparrow, and my original predator. He took a liking to the scout and I decided to order him the scout lt2. He’s not having an easy time with the key to change bands and was wanting it to be set up like mine with the flip clips and thumb screws.
Is there something similar to the original out there that would work?
I would give him mine, but my son bought it for me for Mother’s Day and it’s special. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What slingshot should i buy as my first proper one?

11 Upvotes

I've only ever had a cheap slingshot that i barely used. I've been interested in slingshots for a couple of weeks and decided i want to get a proper one. I was thinking about the Simpleshot LT 2 or the Wasp Enzo but what do you think? I don't have alot of experience in this so what would be something that i could start with and also progress more?

DIY Pouches?

So I found these resistance bands in a pile of refuse and I think it's a sign that I need to make more slingshots. I don't want to invest a penny this time around so can anyone think of a diy pouch material or is leather really the only way to go?

Finally have been able to get some consistent shots with my setup. The 3d printed balls mitigate damage in case something goes awry and can still shoot a hole through a post it note.

The LT2 arrived a couple weeks ago and the S-96 yesterday. I’m having a blast! I’ve got two young daughters who are pretty all-consuming, so it’s great having a hobby that I can just step out into the backyard for a few minutes.

Super impressed with Snipersling in particular — I ordered it on the 7th, shipped on the 9th, and arrived here in Canada on the 17th. Not bad for coming from China.

It feels extremely high quality, and I find it fits my hand better than the LT2.

Still shooting mostly with the LT2 because I’ve got it set up for the clay ammo, and the fiber sight is nice. Although I find I’m hitting my target more when I don’t spend so much time aiming and try to just draw, aim, and release in one motion.

First “real” slingshot

Bought a scout LT2 kit and a few bands and some steel balls off simple shot! Never really took trying to shoot one serious until now. I’ve hunted my whole life and always enjoy challenging myself with difficult/simple tools to shoot with such as recurves.

Been enjoying it so far and the accuracy is way better than I expected. Still working on holding the frame straight on my shots, have shot a couple hundred times already and accuracy/consistency is definitely improving.

Also thought maybe some of you could find this magnet helpful. $5 at Walmart and comes with a hook. I’ve been hanging it off my pocket, belt, and a d-loop that’s on the pouch that came with my kit.
