Hi everyone new to the forum from Alabama. I have recently taken an interest in hunting with primitive weapons I have a blowgun, slingshot,spear , bola and atlatl. I am interested in hunting with a sling but I do not know what kind to make or buy I would love to hear some recommendations. I usually hunt animals from the size of birds to raccoons. If anyone makes and sells slings I would be interested in buying if they are not expensive( I'm on a fixed college student income). Thanks in advance

This will probably get moved to intros', don't take offense.  Where in Alabama are you?  I am in Marengo County.  Bill

Welcome from another Alabama college student. It will probably take you a while to build up the skill necessary to hunt with a sling, so I suggest using tennis balls to start out with. If you check the Trading Post on here you'll see that there are a lot of members willing to send a sling out to beginners free of charge, including myself. We also have a lot of tutorials for making slings if you would rather do it yourself, and no one design is too much better than any other so you're free to make the design that looks good to you.
