Greetings from California!
Aug 10^th, 2021 at 11:43am

Hello slinging.org,

Thank you for accepting my membership request. I'm excited to develop this ancient skill of slinging over the years.

I've begun practicing with marshmallow ammo since July 2021. Lately however, I've considered investing in other sorts of reusable ammo such as this toy product: https://www.amazon.com/More-fun-Toss-Catch-Game/dp/B01ELBPFA8

Thank you once again; be well everyone and have a blessed day!

That toy you have linked should work. Although you'll be purchasing extra stuff you don't need (meaning the paddles). Unless you want those too. I (and likely a lot of other folks here) would recommend just getting some tennis balls. Reusable and safe.

On the theme of California slingers I'm still looking for someone in la.

I know the state is about 4 times bigger than my whole country, and I struggle to get people to travel less than 50 miles.

Just thought I'd remind anyone, I still need a slinger in la.

Howdy from Texas… tennis balls are great practice ammo.

“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
