I grew up shooting sling shots.

I think it helped develop my "eye" for snap shooting a handgun.

Got a wrist rocket when I was about 10. Shot mostly marbles in it for ammo.

It was my job to keep the birds out of the cherry trees, and got pretty good at it!

Still have a sling shot today, at 68 years old.

I whittled it out of a vine maple forked branch, and added the surgical tubing bands for a wrist rocket.

Grew up when wrist rockets were the rage. Ball bearings, marbles, pouch full of BBs. Some kids were deadly with those things. Do kids even know what a slingshot is anymore?
The last time I saw one in use a guy was using it to try and flush deer out of deep brushy ravines.

I made one out of a clothes hanger and doubled up and looped together, rubber bands. I got pretty good at nailing birds with it using bb’s or lead shot. Two or three bb’s in the pouch made it a mini-shotgun.

Iraqi Beavis and Butthead Jr CCW slingshots.
Little fugga,s good with em too out to 25 30 yds.
Hit ya in the azz and legs.
They knew to aim below all the Ninja turtle plates and schitt.
Wasn't very funny at the time getting whacked by the little fugga,s.
But hilarious looking back on it now.
After 3 days of it in the same neighborhood.
Had a couple young wolves run em down.
Drag em back , took their homemade wrist rockets.
People in the neighborhood whacking em with their sandals.
Turns out they was a couple of little prick sunni kids causing problems in a mixed shia and christain neighborhood in Mosul.

They never came back once they got punished and humiliated.
People were glad their windows in their homes and cars weren't getting shot out anymore.

We got lots of free stone cooked flat bread👍👍👍 after that occasionally going thru that neighborhood.

Young kid I worked with was a Marine in Afganistan.
He was one of the wolves that ran one down.
Kept it and used if from the vehicles.
Laughed like heck telling about those kids rocking a Humvee,
only to have some young Marines launch rocks right back at them.
Pretty soon that stopped.
