So I found a good deal on marbles at the local craft store. I am pretty excited to start shooting these. One question. Would these be allowed if shooting competitively?
TBH I think 6mm steel would be considerably cheaper and more accurate, due to be less affected by wind, drop, etc!So I found a good deal on marbles at the local craft store. I am pretty excited to start shooting these. One question. Would these be allowed if shooting competitively?
It may be tiny but you have to look at the relative densities of steel and glass - OK they do vary and the steel BBs are coated with nickel, but it still gives you a pretty good idea...6 mm is tiny.
Can I shoot a mini R/C helicopter?At the East Coast Slingshot Tournament we have in Alverton PA the last 2 years,The Tournament coordinator ( Jaybird ) allows any type ammo you want in the competition. I shot marbles for years growing up. They were a lot cheaper when I was a kid then steel balls. I no longer hunt but back then I did kill many Blackbirds,Rats, and cans and other trash too with them. Like Harp says,nothing wrong with them for short range stuff. Flatband![]()
Nice. I will have to check walmart next time I go. I found some nice pouch leather at michaels today.
Are you certain they are round ?? I have seen sacks like that but not round glass.Walmart, 3LB bag of 5/8" for $4.00. They have a metalic flash in them, really pick up the light. They sell them for floral arrangements and fish tanks.
Jaybird makes Logic, you shoot what works for you other wise you must use this rubber and this shlingshot and this pouch and everyone has to stand this way. I would like to go and have some fun and shoot what I want but, I will have to settle for video if there is any.At the East Coast Slingshot Tournament we have in Alverton PA the last 2 years,The Tournament coordinator ( Jaybird ) allows any type ammo you want in the competition.
