How did you end up beginning this hobby? Squirrels raiding the family bird feeder? Target shooting and powder was too costly? What other reason?
Well that just sounds like a good party4 raccoons swimming and $hitting in my swimming pool.
When I read this from the website that was the end of the F'ing raccoons. Got 25 caliber Marauder a red light LED and some jsb Kings.Well that just sounds like a good party
I also started out with a Daisy 25 at about the same age. CharlesParents gifted me a Daisy M 25 at about age 9. That started a lot of things. Be Well Bandito.
Sling-bow. You don't see/hear much about them. As a kid, I made a couple to hunt rabbits and squirrels - marbles were a lot cheaper than arrows and you didn't have to go looking for them!Iguanas lol. I was hunting iguanas in my community with a sling bow (sling shot and bow hybrid).
Then I see I guy walking around looking for iguanas and I pointed out to him where I've been seeing them. He asked me what I was doing with my weird contraption, I told him I was hunting iguanas so he allowed me to join him a bit. Afterwards he asked if I had any military background to which I answered yes and later than week I got an interview and joined the company and started HEAVILY shooting airguns.
I originally got a break barrel when I was stationed in alaska for poops and giggles but shot it once and that was it. I strictly shot my PB when I was stationed in Alaska.
Glad I could bring you down memory lane! Yeah I never really checked the speed of my sling bow but I could bow fishing with the sling blow no problem!Sling-bow. You don't see/hear much about them.

Back then we used bicycle innertube for slingshot bands (not much else was available) and the didn't provide much power. On the other hand, a sling-bow could be made very strong. Strong enough to turn a marble into dust if to hit a rock square on.
Thanks for the sling-bow reminder, have some nice bow staves available and will make one this summer. I imagine that the Dollar Store has marbles, will have to check.
Cheers!
