Also with ice, prepare for your slings to get a little wet. Especially if you're doing this in summer. Another thing to keep in mind is that as the ice starts to melt, they can become a little more difficult to keep a hold of.
I recently posted a video in the Online Challenge thread that shows some damage to a pumpkin from ice balls

I once slung hardtack once. I managed to completely burn a batch, so I threw them away the next day.
I may try my hand at making sling-specific balls using a similar recipe.

Oh, this is quite a coincidence. I have a tree in my yard that died last year. I've started cutting it down in pieces, but I still have to cut it up into firewood. I guess now I have to try to salvage all the sawdust.
