The entire top shelf of our freezer is reserved for ammo. The price I pay is that occasionally my wife uses the ammo in her drink.

Haha we plan on getting a deep freezer for food, so the main freezer can be for our sugar glider food, and now also ammo. She wanted to try getting a couple gliders, ended up with 3. Then adopted another two locally from a lady who couldn't handle their care needs. So it takes tons of frozen fruits and veggies to feed them all... veered a bit there sorry haha

Magnificent slinging, btw. Is it possible to keep the sling in front while slinging, or do body mechanics preclude this ? I've tried with a one-handed buckler (from extended to close to the chest) but not with actual throws

Thanks Thearos!

I'm guessing that was a mistype and you meant keep the shield in front while slinging.  I think it could be done to an extent.  What you would lose is the rotation of the upper body (or at least the range of the rotation), therefore causing a loss of power.  The next time you're slinging, hold your arm in front of you like you're holding a shield.  Then try to keep it there while you sling.  It makes a big difference.
