Hi!
I have had some fun reading about slingbows here and a common subject I find is "big game" hunting.
I have had quite fun with homemade flechettes and wonder why those are not used for bigger game that some people hunt?
To me it seems like the power of flechettes is much higher then arrows as you can use a longer draw then a slingbow.
Aiming would be more like a conventional slingshot which would maybe be better for some?
It would be easier to carry and not so bulky as having 30" arrows with you.
The only downside I see is the are hard to train with as they are not good for shooting archery targets with and are a real pain to get out of wooden boards.
