Title: Greetings from Los Angeles, California
Post by LosSlingeles on Mar 3^rd, 2025 at 6:09pm

Hey everybody! Hello from Los Angeles

I made a couple of slings this weekend based on designs from these forums and instructions from YouTube. Thanks for all of your help! You've all built quite a resource here.

My son and I have just been slinging tennis balls in fields and against fences for now - we'll work out way up to stones when we can find a place:

[list bull-blackball]

With many stones

That doesn't have people downrange.

Looking forward to learning more!

Howdy from the Texas suburbs! I have almost exclusively used tennis balls in my backyard, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Tennis balks are inexpensive, consistent, a reasonable weight, larger than a kid’s eye socket, and they don’t break windows.

Dunk your ammo in a bucket of water some time and film it at 240fps. The water spray patterns can tell you all sorts of things about what’s going on when you take a shot.
