If you used the pactice heads in the mold wouldn't they screw out later if you did it right?

I have never even tried lead yet, but I did buy some 3 ounce lead fishing "bullets". How far can you throw these hunting glands with the big sling and full spinning motion? Must be very lethal!

english Ex Member	Re: big game hunting ammo Reply #36 - Oct 14^th, 2004 at 12:04pm The question is: where can you possibly use these glandes? Not because of safety - a sling is deadly enough as it is - but because these are carefully made objects. They may or may not have taken a lot of money to make, but they look snazzy - don't want to lose that lead and steel.

well the mold is made so new glands cost just lead, field tips and inserts my lead is free and I get a lot of archery equipment at close outs for cheap
and the answer to where is in my back yard shooting range since with these guys I stay under fifty yards i have old carpet as knock downs all around my Styrofoam block target
but the real answer to your question is once I get the skill level high enough. the glands may get used for their obvious purpose

1. get a egg sinker mold
2. take a die grinder or dremle or somthing similar and enlarge the core slot to fit inserts
3.put in inserts
4. warm mold
5. melt lead
6. pour lead into mold
7.wait for mold to cool
8.open mold shake out lead glands
9. clean up glands trim off extra lead
10. scew in feild points or broad heads
11. hurl new ammo carefuly
12 do any or all of this at your own risk
i accept no reponsiblity for any body being as stupid as i am

I have what I refer to as a hunting rig now . It is A sling
43 inches long with a retention toggle a modified knoll slinger pouch to keep the ammo in. (four holes on each side of the pouch with the leather laces looping though) the string is quater in leather strap.(mine came from a old jump rope) to prevent tangling and last but not least my 6 ounce feild tip or broad head arrows.
Also of interest to some I preformed a test with the broad head on a large doe I harvested this year. with my bow. now i was only ten yards away and the carcus was proped up on my back yard target. but the broad head gland went clean thought the deer.
so now i have confidence if you hit properly you could kill a deer with a sling

Solobo the requirement in most states is based on poundage of pull usually 45 pounds
Yeah just like most arrows when they hit a deer the gland went completely though. Except the exit hole was much larger about the size of a juice can lid. I was tempted to do more experiments with my other glands but I did not want to mess up any more meat
I don't for see a sling deer hunting season in Oregon near future besides I am not sure i want A bunch of idiots out in the woods hurling razor balls around
the idiot's with guns out there are quite bad enough
but it is really good to know or feel that I know that I could take a deer down with a sling
and to further that feeling target practice will continue
These days I am like some kind of deranged golfer
out in my back yard hurling a bucket of stones 5 or six times a week

I wonder how hard it would be to get the sling into a legal hunting weapon. Not a problem.. just tell the ranger the animal was hit by a meteorite! While it was laying on its side resting..
