The Bob Munden of sling shots.

I know a guy that's pretty frikkin' awesome with a sling shot but he uses ball bearings out of rearends that he builds/rebuilds. He used a wrist-rocket in Vietnam to feed himself sometimes (among "other" uses).
I watched him zing his nieghor's dog on the run at about 65 yards after it "unloaded" in his yard.

He isn't as good as this guy though and his ammo had a much better balistic coefficient.

I wish I owned one of his sling shots.


To make this truck related: I can't tell if that's an old Ford or Dodge in his barn. Kinda looks like the side trim makes a little dip towards the back like a '60s PowerWagon but the rest looks like a late '60s ford.

I think it was years

I am with Dodge. Amazing considering his ammo. Ball bearings, marbles are near enough to perfect. He was slinging 57's
