That's a LOT of skill. Deadly on close-range small game. I was hoping for one of the old-school brick/rock throwers, though. Those really can kill anything smaller than a bear...

That's truely amazing!

Drop that guy off someplace with his slingshot, a pocket knife, and a Bic lighter, and he'll be just fine.

He makes that look pretty easy. My time with a slingshot was spent fumbling with rocks, hitting my hand, and replacing rubber. I'll have to find myself a source or good rubber and give it another try with a handmade slingshot.

One early morning last year I came across Chief AJ (http://www.chiefaj.com/) at our club range shooting trap with a slingshot and white marbles. I wish I would have been there for more of it, but the footage is supposed to be available on video with his kits.

I went to the site, and there were some interesting pictures, one of which is this one:

What looks like a large earring, I hope does not end up going down range!

OUCH!

 

[SeanSw]

Yeah, that's the kind of mistake you'll only make once!

 

[BADUNAME37]

Yeah, Double ouch!

The deadly Carolina Assault Slingshot...

Take a look at this fellow, and you'll see a master at work...

I am going to buy one of that fellers sling shots. Just so I can say I had one. That guy was amazing.

its all in knowing how to aim and release
i pop pop cans all the time with mine. ive even taken a few wasklies
with .25 steel shot

He has a real talent there. Its a shame that this talent is not as common as it used to be. Kids only know TV and video games now.

 

[M'bogo]

He was a remarkable man. But all of you should know that Rufus Hussey a.k.a. The Bean Shooter Man passed away back in Febuary of 1994.

[kamagong]

Just wow.

 

[New To Knives]

That's probably the only time being scared of a slingshot came into my thought process. I would hate to be on the other end of that slingshot.

And a country boy can survive....

 

[Leadhead]

Thanks for a great post!
What a natural...and with natural random stones... he just knew he was going to hit what ever he intended!

 

[BruiseLee]

That guy was amazing. Most people couldn't shoot nearly that well with an open choke shotgun. He should have been made a national treasure. I'm sorry to hear he passed on. It would have been nice if he had passed on his amazing skill with a slingshot to someone so his art wouldn't die with him.

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Absolutely unbelievable!

 

[conw]

Thanks. That put a smile on my face.

Cool technique he had, too, of holding the slingshot horizontal until he was ready to release.

 

[BruiseLee]

I used to shoot a folding pocket rocket A LOT before I turned 18 and bought my first firearm. You could definitely hit things with it - me and my friend could hit a 12 oz. soda can over 50% of the time across the length of his yard which was maybe 15-20 yards. And that was just using rocks.

 

[Texasred]

That made me happy and sad at the same time. But overall more happy, I just wish kids still learned things like this. Now sligshots aren't even proper toys for kids.
