Greetings from Los Angeles, California
Mar 3^rd, 2025 at 6:09pm

Hey everybody! Hello from Los Angeles

I made a couple of slings this weekend based on designs from these forums and instructions from YouTube. Thanks for all of your help! You've all built quite a resource here.

My son and I have just been slinging tennis balls in fields and against fences for now - we'll work out way up to stones when we can find a place:

With many stones
That doesn't have people downrange.

Looking forward to learning more!

Howdy from the Texas suburbs! I have almost exclusively used tennis balls in my backyard, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Tennis balks are inexpensive, consistent, a reasonable weight, larger than a kid’s eye socket, and they don’t break windows.

Dunk your ammo in a bucket of water some time and film it at 240fps. The water spray patterns can tell you all sorts of things about what’s going on when you take a shot.

“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
