Hey guys
Nov 12th, 2016 at 1:26pm
 
Hi there. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 40 year old welder that enjoys finding new things to do outside. I am not a great slinger but I practice a every chance I get and I can hit a tree with a tennis ball. Well 75% of the time anyway. I throw underhand since I seem to have more success that way. I have the Readyman sling and so far it seems pretty great. Just to throw in a few more details for the heck of it, I like to camp, keep chickens and I am also a snake enthusiast. I just have one albino ball python. Alright then, if you all have any questions let me know. I'm sure I will a few along the way.  Smiley

Welcome.  Most of probably aren't what you would classify as great slingers but we generally have some fun with them.

I, personally, like going to the river and throwing rocks way out there and watching them splash.   Grin

Thanks for the welcoming replies.

@Vet, I've never bred any myself. I am trying to get a young male albino from a friend of mine that does breed them. It would be nice to sell a few to help support my hobby so I can get my hands on some of the other morphs that are available nowadays.

@Bill Skinner There is a pond nearby that is back through the woods where I could probably do the same. Thanks for the idea.

I love the pieds too. I'm glad to see the price on those have dropped over the years. I like to see the pieds get thrown into other morphs. Those banana piebalds are so cool.

I totally agree.  I remembered seeing the PIEDS going for $1000+.  Now the average is $450. I got mine at $220 from the local petsmart,  they were having issues with it. I bought it home. No issues ever since. I think this year we are gonna try albino pied, but I am not sure yet.  Unfortunately with breeding them, the market is so saturated expecially in my area of NJ.

I know what you mean. They are popular here in South Carolina as well. Sounds like you know what you're doing and can put pen to paper and sort out if it's practical or not to have a go at it.
