So this happened to me recently while slinging. (Read 1041 times)

Drakolith Funditor Offline Posts: 675 U.S.	So this happened to me recently while slinging. Nov 9^th, 2017 at 8:31am I don’t know if this as happened to any of y’all, but I found it cool, a bit of a rock that hit my target broke off the main price and embedded itself in the metal. Anyone else have any similar things happen?

Reply #1 - Nov 9^th, 2017 at 8:39am I've been exploding limestone on granite recently . Lots of fun and a horrible reminder with the marks they leave of how bad my grouping is with odd shaped rough light rocks.

Reply #2 - Nov 9^th, 2017 at 10:01am Most of the rocks I've used have been tougher than the target pan I use. I'm not entirely sure what they are and they might vary but I think they're granite. There is quite a lot of granite in Finland so it's the most likely one.

I had to stop using wood as a target because it would pick up pieces of stone from your ammo and then crack the next shot when it hits where the stone is embedded.
