I must add a warning to the "lead filled cheries" when striking hard items such as boulders they some times explode. So wear safety glasses. Another add in I havent tried yet is hollow 3x1 inch pipe end with caps one drilled add black powder and slow fuse Notice the preamble of havent tried yet. FOR informational porposes only. awe i love these fun ideas

i am now thinking the staff sling and big game hunting ammo might work better for larger game such as deer. if there was a legal way to manage this

Something like this,with 1mm steel sheet,and heavier,like 120g ~4oz lead glans could do the job.

That's cool too. The only thing is that it has it's weight towards the end,which could fool the flight into a bolo rotation at the slightest wobble at release,me thinks. The good ol' rugby shaped is the most stable for rifled point first flights,mostly because it has most of it's mass in the middle.

that is why i went to the egg sinkers also very simple to make cast the egg sinkers screw in the broadheads I trust the broadheads fror decades of bow expernce. the thought of the other one rotating though the air is kinda cool actuly but to be truthful the dozen or so of those i made they always sunk point first into the targets never had one land sideways

really dumb idea... but maybe useful
Reply #175 - Dec 2nd, 2013 at 3:27pm
 
so... what about making a blade, about 1/16 thick, mild or high carbon steel, approx 3" long and 1/2" wide. make it like a 2 sided arrowhead. Or better yet barb it on both sides. then cast a gland over and around it after drilling a hole or two in the steel.
I believe this was tested sometime long ago... but I don't care about long ago. I am talking about NOW.
doable?
Obviously this is extremely dangerous to sling... and would probably ruin slings.

Its doable, but why would you want to do it?

I don't think it would fly very good.(because you will have flats) If you are looking to enhance penetrative capabilities for hunting or throwing through stuff, I would recommend just casting a lead gland around a piece of re-bar(round stock) and sharpening both ends to points. No need to drill holes through the re-bar, it will grip the lead sufficiently.(due to its textured nature) Make sure that the re-bar is free of rust and debris prior to casting as this will prevent a clean bond. you will also want to use a flux on the bar. I think you are pretty young, so I would recommend adult supervision, and guidance when doing anything like this. Hot lead, Poisonous flux, sharp steel = very dangerous.

Squirrel, I think you should pm Timpa about this idea. I also think its a lot of time and effort into something you're literally throwing away. Be careful and have fun Smiley

It's reinventing the wheel. Lobohunter, who used to be a regular here, came up wih what he called "hunting ammo." A biconical lead projectile cast around broadhead arrow inserts. Ultimately he found them to be kinda hard to sling.

Edit: Found and spliced.

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.

The one my little sister and I saw wasn't as big as most of the drawings you see.  We only got a quick glance at it gliding from treetop to treetop.  I'd guesstimate that it  was about a hundred pounds.  Of course we had no idea if it was a female, youngster, or whatever.
