Where do you collect ammo ?

I wanted to know, how other slingers get their ammo.
Most of the time, i use the ammo at the spots i'm training at, but sometimes i collect some stones at a river, that is flowing through my town.

I do my slinging along an Amtrak main line, so I use the loose stones from the railroad bed. They're rarely anywhere near perfectly shaped or even symmetrical but they're there waiting for me, they're free and they're good enough for my level of slinging.

I used to think this was going to be simple.

Here in South Jersey we are just south of where the glaciers stopped at the end of the last ice age. As they melted and retreated they put most of this area under water. Consequently finding good ammo in the form of oval shaped white river stones is easy. They are everywhere.

I live in a place that only has clay...except for a magical place I found. Its called EDS Landscaping, LLC. Not only can one find beautiful granite stones there but they are all grouped by size.

Finland has some amazing round granite for the same reason Ratman described. Absolutely perfect slingstones. The problem is that most are under ground on the coasts of the islands. When they dug up around our area to change some pipes, I went through the dirt piles and picked out a load of stones. I've found a few other spots but it's all where soil is eroding away, has been disturbed or it's been moved.

Lakes sides and beaches. But mostly just when I am out walking and come by a good rock.

Wohnst du in der Nähe ?
Wie ich bereits gesagt habe, fließt die saale durch meine Stadt und ich muss keine 5 Minuten laufen um Steine zu sammeln.
Wie lange brauchst du um zur Ostsee zu kommen ?

Dann solltest du aber viel sammeln.

Ich sammle sehr gezielt nordischen granit. Der ist fast unkaputtbar. Ich zerbreche nur wenige davon. Man findet ihn nach stürmen im Herbst häufiger als im Sommer
