Compost Cannon
Feb 17^th, 2006 at 3:35pm

i couldn't think of a better name. but i made a sling out of nylon chord and it was one of the ones off the guide for making a golf ball, tennis ball, etc. Well small apples and tangelos, pottoes, onions. you name it i slung it. we were cleaning out the fridge today and all the old brused compost was going to get thrown away to the compost heep. So i decided to take the round things to practice slinging. And they all work amazing. i got some crazy distances off a couple apples. I don't recomend doing this often though, it may get expensive. but if it's getting thrown out, why not? Try it

I live in Arizona so I sometimes sling the little yellow guava things that grow on the tops of barrel cactus. They arent very heavy so they dont go far, but when I sling them at something hard...Boy do they splat!!! -Hound-

Its amazing that at 100 yards, the spiny husk stays on them. Wouldn't want to be on the recieving end, though.

He's not as young as he used to be. A sling isn't thr most forgivable launcher for an old pooch. Throws far without getting the slinger tired. Now if you wanna see a confused dog, Switch tennis balls with water ballons! LOL

I slung an orange at a large cement tube the other day and I can say that I didn't know oranges could split sooooo many ways. It also left a large splat mark on the tube. -Hound-

There is no way i could do it again, believe me i tried, but i think that is the coolest thing. i cant wait till it warms up so i can start launching water baloons too.
