Slinging Crabapples

The crabapple trees around here have started to drop their fruit. These crabapples don't make good eating (very sour), but they make great sling ammo.  Wink

It's more fun when they're mushy!

My crab apples are about 1/2 that size.   Cry  Not much bigger than marbles and way too light for good slinging.

The apples make a very satisfying "splat" when they hit the target.  Smiley

A lot of trees still haven't dropped their fruit so I should have a steady supply of apples for awhile yet.
