some things ive found that work well are fishing round sinkers.good for duck after using a cheap wally world slingshot that my dad owns.

i almost got em was about 2 inches away from its neck about 50+ feeet.Clay balls work well after being microwaved or even flour balls in the oven.good for small birds and paper punchers! another one is shooting coins although id not recommend these a whole lot as these may cause fork hits and may hit your hand,but give it a try.they are cheap (sometimes) and fun too! Airsoftt bbs and acorns are fun to compete with friends and shoot each other.

 

hahahahaha,i usally play airsoft lol,most of the time

Get caught doing that and your butt is going to be in a sling.

 

For hunting I like cylindrical lead slugs.

I've used a bunch of random things as ammo. Mentos (unstable flight) , acorns, Play Doh balls (These hit pretty hard), wax balls (stick to things), Jello (it would actually go through paper if you hit it twice in the same spot), wet toilet paper (shooting bugs off the wall), jelly beans, grapes (went pretty fast actually and I shot myself in the foot once, it was red for at least 2 hours), mini cookies, walnuts, pecans, almonds, in-shell peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios. duct tape balls, cut up string cheese, cheese cubes, chocolate covered raisins, yogurt covered raisins, gummy bears (these are nearly indestructable!), fruit roll ups, my baby teeth, marshmallows, dice, pencil eraser, gumballs, jawbreakers. And I think that's it. There's probably more that I don't remember though. And obviously, most of these are pretty bad for any actual destruction & power. Though I suppose it'd be fine for just shooting around.

 

nice selection and its legal here to hunt ducks,u need a hunting permit,and your allowed.,sinkers are good for thick skin animals! they cut right through!

 

also where do you guys buy your ammo? looking for the cheapest place to buy ammo from. I know the larger the size ammunition the less you get in a pound or bag. any suggestions?

 

Hi BB: here's a link on cheap ammo:

You know what I use that works really well? Nuts. Metal nuts. Go to Tractor Supply and you can get about 100 of them for $2. They fly so far and straight and hit with quite a punch. And they are easy to hold in the pouch as well!

 

WHat is your preferred size?

 

...I could have sworn I replied to this thread..

 

Tentacle you did,and im afraid ill hit my hand with the hexnuts,im actually scared,lol,how do you hold it in the pouch?

 

Actually its not legal to hunt anything with a slingshot in Pennsylvania.

 

It's also illegal to hunt waterfowl with any type of lead ammunition.

 

I've actually never hit my hand with hex nuts. Well maybe 1 or 2 glancing blows but that's about it. And welcome to the SSF InsomniacOwl!

 

Please everyone ... Let me remind you that this is a public forum with many impressionable younger members. It is contrary to forum policy to discuss shooting humans. So I ask you to please be a bit more restrained in your posts.

I agree,my friends brother got banned from this forum thats why i avoided it for a while but decided to join.

 

Great source for ball bearings is Royal Steel Balls. Be sure you tell them it is for slingshot ammo.

 

. . . and shoot each other.

:nono:

 

Ah...understood. I did put that disclaimer in, but probably shouldn't have posted at all, sorry.

 

I am sorry to be the cop :angrymod: but that is why they pay me the big bucks! :rofl:

Thanks for your understanding guys ... :wave:

Cheers ..... Charles

I haven't had any issue with this. I just hold it sideways, with my fingers over the hole in the middle. It keeps it nice and flat and pushed back into the pouch. I fear if I held it the other way, it would spin like a coin through the air. Just imagine it as a wheel rolling forward. Shoot it that way! =)

Thank you! I've been a lurker for a while now. Figured it was time to join, finally.

 

I like hexnuts too...and they are especially effective when the centre hole is filled with lead. Other favourites are lead fishing sinkers (particularly the 38 gramme ovals); Charles' cast lead plugs; and, of course, the 'lobrounds' for sheer destructive nastiness !

 

ok,ill give it a try,because ive shot coins before and got some fork hits,but they are pretty good penetrators on cardboard,its cool and fun,the coins are like sticking out of the wall.

 

I've been shooting 5/16" hexnuts with just one layer of TBG and they blow through a can like it's nothing. I have to be careful though cause if I hit my catch-bucket it will break

 

wow,imagine killing deer with hexnuts! lol
