How much does the "Jersey Devil" weigh?
Depends on how heavy you are.

Yeah I know, thought of it before I saw this thread though.
But then again making a glans is waaaay more work than picking up a stone.. not suggesting that there would be similar differenses in efficiency as between glands and stones.

On the Swedish coast With Russia in the distance Slinging at the bear. (4accord done it) "Mind must be firmer, heart the more fierce, courage the greater, as our strength diminishes." The old warrior Byrhtwold during the battle of Maldon in 991 AD.

Though I've seen signs of them my whole life, I've only ever gotten a good eyeball on a Jersey Devil once. My younger sister saw it also. The one I saw couldn't have been much over a hundred pounds, but I have no idea if it was an adult or not. They're probably on the endangered species list, so I wouldn't try hunting one.

a two handed sling would have to work much like an olympic hammer throw.
In other words it's speed and final release velocity would be governed by how fast you could spin in place. Which would have an extreme effect on accuracy.
But yep, it should allow the slinging of much larger rocks - just so long as you didn't really care where they end up

My latest. Try at big game ammo has taken a slightly different. Turn. Any one who has used shaker mill balls. (Steel ball bearings about the same size and shape as a pin ball)As ammo is probally aware. That when used on living penitrate.the same can be said of lead glands love a good three to six ounce lead sinker.well. the other day I was search the local scap yard and stumbled. On to a batch of what I thought were one inch ball bearing. Thinking they were 5160 spring. Steel I started. To forge one out. Well to my surprise it was hollow. I anealed half a dozen drilled. Them out. Filled them full of lead and tappeda plug. Into the hole. The test firing was done at twenty yards into a 4x12peice of indoor outdoor carpet hanging double over my clothes line all six went though both sides and a couple. Broke peices outa my cedar. Fence behind it I tried a couple broad head glands and was never able to get though more than one side of he carpet. While I am sure. The broad head glands do more vascular damage. For pure penetration thesee hollow. Lead. Filled cherries. Are totally. Awesome. Anyway folks thank-you all for allowing me to share and a happy new year to all
