I have enough food and water to hold me over a month +, and from the looks of things I just may need it according to the new reports just out this evening ;- (
How many of you would use your sling (if you are a good enough shot) to gather food for the table if need be ? (I know some of your have been doing it for many years and my hats off to you).
I'm not the greatest shot in the world, but when push comes to shove, I can improve fast .. My BB slingshot shooting lately has greatly helped me, especially in my focus, anchor point awareness, tube alignment and follow through. My shooting the last month+ or so has improved a lot. My mental attitude of sling 'um to now seriously aiming and paying attention to the little things is something I am now doing and something I really never paid attention to ------ but the time has come ! Yesterday I had some shots that were not to my liking and had to sit myself down to what was I doing wrong and change it ....At ~20+ yards I need to hit a soup can at least 6-7 out of ten times for me know to be fairly confident ... I'm tired of "Oh, I just missed it" That means Oh, I'm not having dinner tonight !!!
I have air guns that I could use, but don't want to be out carrying a "GUN" and draw attention to myself if you know what I mean. As it is now, I go out on the back roads and if a car passes by nobody takes a second look even though I have a powerful slingshot in my hand, ammo in the pouch and a pocket full of ammo. Even if the sling is in your hand and someone sees it, in the eyes of the public, "it is just a slingshot", or they don't know what it is !
I have seen some great shooters on these forums and I hope some day to be able to come close to there shooting ability (all you guys know who you are and I greatly admire you). Right now I'm on a major crash course to greatly improve as fast as I can ------- The slingshot I used as a kid and played with could be the tool today that could put food on the table !!!
I went out today and although it was cold I did shoot. I will go out tomorrow and shoot again, I just hope it warms up a bit. I want my shooting to progress to the next level fast for sure, it is no longer fun and games for me !!!
