JHarbi3697 Novicius Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 6	Black walnuts Jun 27^th, 2018 at 8:50pm Just recently started slinging and discovered a black walnut tree on my property, was pleasantly surprised at the apt ammo it made. Anyone else used things like that?

Black walnuts are also good for getting worms when fishing.
But ya they make great ammo. I used to live in the Central valley of California which is a big agricultural area and black walnut had gone wild as well as other types of trees. Great for ammo and a snack when outdoors.

I find that in the husk they weigh about 1 and 3/4 .....2 oz.,they fly beautifully . I get sad when the rot and the squirrels get them.

Yep, love those things for slinging. Although it really varies year to year what the tree produces. Last year there was a ton, plenty of ammo. This year there's nothing. I also have a few apple trees in the yard and sling whatever the deer don't eat.

Not to mention get black gunk on your sling.
