Returned from Mexico last Saturday. Had a good trip 8). I talked with some people down in San Louis Potosi, and they know what a sling was, but no one had used one.
I ended up showing a friend how to use the sling and giving it to him. (lesson learned....don't show someone how to use a sling if you only have one with you.) Well, it's nice to be able to share info. with people, but hated not to be able to find a slinger and some slings for sale. So far I'm down one sling, the only one I had with me so the story gets worse. Here's a pix of a rock typical of that area, and there's lots of them there.
These rocks are hard, dense, heavy and roundish, and to be found all over the place! Go figure! The perfect place and no slings, me I got slings, and the rocks are few and not too good for slinging. Here is a pix of the area where we stoped to cut some wood for a friends mom. Can you see any good sling stones here?
I had to carry a water bottle around so I wouldn't die of dehydration, I liked to druel to death. This place is a slingers heaven, and I had no sling! I hate it when that happens. So it ain't looking good for the home team. I gave one sling away and promised to send a friend another. sure hope I'm planting seed, because next time I go back I plan on slinging some stones, yah!
