i heard that the shorter the better aim but the long the more distance

[herefordlad169]

basicly yes

I prefer the modern slingshot & my ammo of choice marbles,they travel faster & have the same impact. If not better I once shot a guy in the,adoms apple with a slingshot defending my home.

[herefordlad169]

slingshots are fast and accurate at close range or if a tight area e.g dense woodland or inside a house, but they have no real power or range or accuracy at range

a wrist rocket has just a little more power than a slingshot but htey both are powerless compared to a sling, because i used to own slingshots and wrists rockets for years till i discoverd the sling!!!!!! i know everything about both, trust me!!!!! a sling is a better choice!!! people have made calculations that a sling can shoot a projectile with about the same amount of power as a 45. (hand gun)

I used to use slingshots for target and accuracy shots and was able to split a playing card in half from 18 ft. But it does take longer to get good at accuracy with slings though, i guess thats the only advantage with slingshots is that they are easier to aim.

@ShawnSamLeahUsername I`ve heard that too,a 2oz piece of lead shot at 100 fps will have the same impact force as a .45 pistol bullet.

The reason why the heavier rocks work better in your longer slings is because physics cancels the weight out

[Snagglefratz]

I would agree with this. You're putting out good info. I say this because there are so many self appointed experts out there that really don't know what they're talking about. It's refreshing to hear someone saying things about slinging that are correct. Also, I agree with TheMightyUsopp about slings and sling shots. They both have their uses.

I wish you were my brother

[superdeath1997]

how long have you been slinging for

[ajb7876]

@ShawnSamLeahUsername .Thats true,a 2oz lead sling bullet moving at 100 fps will strike with the same force as a .45 cal pistol round.

thanks 5 stars

If you stand on top of a barrel while shooting, I don't think you can hope for much precision. Maybe some long range, but even there you may be seriously hampered.
