I'm looking for ammunition for to practice my slinging skills. Does anybody have any home made Glande for sale? I live in Sacramento California.

Tennis balls are great for starting out . Clay can be hand made.
Lead glandes are great but an absolute nightmare to practice with without a serious backstop target setup

Second Mersa on clay if you're slinging in the wilds with no people in or around the target area.

You can buy it but it's fairly easy to process good quality clay projectiles if clay is present in your native soil. Look up Andy Ward's video on wet processing clay.

Glad you enjoyed house of David.
The sling stunts he was pulling can only be done either by a stuntman, with a green screen and /or 2 years of practice.
Don't solve your fantasies by throwing money at them, learn how to make a sling by reading the tutorials and sling academy sections and start with tennis balls.
If you are still slinging after a month, try rocks.
😁👍

I've slung at lake Natoma (used to live in Davis). I rented a kayak and went to the other side of the lake and found plenty of good stones.

Another new guy here.  I went to Walmart and bought a bag of tennis balls with no air and a package of foam golf balls.  Now I need to find a place to practice where no one can see me.

You can check in with SiliconeSword and see if he has anything available.  I don't know what your experience level is so I'll add the caveat to be very careful when slinging glandes.  It's great fun, but always keep yourself and your surroundings safe when doing it.

I will have some in about two weeks time. Probably made of some sort of cement so that I can make them quick and they don't cost me all that much.
