I seen a slingshot type shooter on a web page that shot darts that connected to the bands at the tip that seems a safer way to go
Shooting Flechettes (short arrows)
It is time that I start to experiment with flechettes.
Yes, I am hesistant because of the fear to hit my hand. But then again, hitting my hand with a powerful steel ball would be just as painful, right?
Also, even the Combow was available with flechette bands and the web site offered the flechettes.
So I have ordered cross bow pistol bolts and will adapt them for a "string" pouch. basically I will add a notch just behind the tip.
I plan to mount the slingshot for the first tests, so I can make sure there is no danger for my hand.
I also ordered an 80lbs pistol crossbow to compare the speed I am getting from both weapons.
Has anyone done this before? I'd appreciate your input.
