Title: My rockchucker Post by Luke on Sep 30th, 2003 at 9:26pm No, no, not that kind of Rockchucker ::) :D Ok, after seeing all your slings I thought I'd scan mine and throw it up here :) Nothing fancy but it works... next step is to make a little fancier, sturdy thing that can ride around in my hip pocket for all those unexpected opportunities to fling things ;) It's an oval shaped piece of leather about 7" long, three holes punched in each side, threaded thru with a 42" piece of bootlace. I tied a knot on one side to hold on to, and a stiff slipknot on the other to slip over the finger. Like I said before it's nothing fancy but it throws a golf ball around 300ft, which is I'm pleased with being a newbie slinger and all.... Cheers ;) |

Hey Luke,
Welcome! I've been hooked on silinging for about two months now. Lets sped the fever. Nice sling! |

Why, Luke, your sling looks oddly like my RCBS Rockchucker Special 5! How far does yours throw a projectile?
BTW, I checked out your site. Nice. I once had a Savage 111F in 223 Rem. With unmatched brass it would put a whole magazine into 1/4" or less at 100 yds. Cold barrel, hot barrel, clean barrel, dirty barrel. Just plain shot like a house fire. Loaded for it on my Special 5 to boot. Oh, yeah. I like your rudimentary sling also! Jeff <>< - who lilkes things that with projectiles |

OT: A lot of people bash them, but Savage rifles sure can shoot
My 10FLP/.308 holds average of .4 MOA out to 1000yds. with Federal Gold Medal brass, Federal Match primers, Varget, and 175gr. Sierra Matchkings. This is what I use when the sling doesn't quite have the range or power that I need ;) Only problem is you can't carry it around in your pocket like the sling ::) |
