With so much effort to get some stones, I wish you from deep in my heart happy slinging and that the stones will last long!

They let you take that many rocks back as baggage?

Sounds good.. I just buy river rock from Chandler Rock.
I am no adict.

I just climb up on top of the rock pile and hand pick rocks.
THen I put them in my trunk and pull onto the scale.
They weigh, I pay.  No plane required.

Lips Sealed

ooppsss  mayber  I am an addict..

That reminds me of the time I smuggled a large piece of dinosaur bone from a hadrosaur tibia back in my pants across the canadian border. I had to take it out when I boarded a plane in detroit, but I told the security guy it was a pieceof petrified wood, and he let me pass.

"Hey, is that a piece of Hadrosaurine tibia in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"  Cheesy

Now to me....that's just plain exotic.   I am salivating over the (totally unrealistic) prospect of a consistent way to produce football shaped obsidian glans.....

I have produced a sling pocket design that shows great promise, which completely avoids ammo contact with the release cord.  In several tests thus far,  it has failed every attempt to produce a 'miscast' and is an absolute joy to use.

I will get a series of pictures posted hopefully next weekend.
