you'd eat jerky out of a dumpster ?
Please tell us it was still sealed in packaging :-)
So lobo - nobody actually asked: - did you fly to reno JUST to pick up the stones or was that simply a side issue ?
I'm afraid I have to confess that I'm not addicted:-
Mostly only sling when walking dogs, only use picked up stones, only have one sling (I'll make another one when this one dies) can't do a cartwheel, have never damaged anything except the odd fence post, have never taken food or sling supplies from a dumpster, never made a sling at work - nope not even from duct tape.
I'm just going to go somewhere and hang my head in shame :-(

I went to my old middle school and picked up 3 bags full of rocks so i can go out to an open field near here and sling about an hour a day for a day or two, then go refill

Ask not what you can do for your sling... But what your sling can do to an armored knight on horseback at over 50 yards!

slingwolf, how large are these bags, because i have found that in an hour of slinging i can go through maybe 30 pounds of rocks, all about 2-4 ounces each.

Ah see now if you'd gone there specifically for the stones and still only bought two small packages back - THAT would definitely be sling addiction. But just picking a few up while you were there on other business - even I'd do that :-)
Though it begs the question if you had no other luggage why didn't you use the whole luggage allowance for stones ? :-)
Or even ship them back via post lol

is '#' number of stones or lbs ?

But 60 lbs is reasonable lol

i beleive it is 60 pounds each, as when people are talking about the draw weight on bows. it is called the "pound sign", so i suppose it stands for pounds

Ah well to me that '#' is a hash sign and signifys the thing you get asked to push on answer phone services and bugger all else.
'£' that is a pound sign and 'lb' is usually used to denote pounds in weight.
Either way 60lbs of rocks each, is fairly respectable lol.

American pounds, aren't they a little less than half a kilo each?
