Horse Apples

We stopped at a park for a picnic during a road trip today and somebody had left sling ammo lying all over the ground!
These are osage oranges... sometimes called horse apples, or brain fruit. They don’t taste good, but they’re fun to throw! They’re about the size and weight of a large apple.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Apparently the wood makes for good bows too if you can find a long, straight piece!

Great bows, hot fires and good thickets. It's one of my all time favorites. Smells amazing when youre working it and looks amazing too. Good memories.

'horse apples' is also another term for horse crap
I'm so glad you were slinging the other kind of 'horse apple'

Well... I’m not above slinging the other kind too if the target really deserves it
