    11 from 20 head shots is damned good...much better than most would achieve having the whole bird as a target.

    I think a slingshot's a very useful adjunct to other projectile hunting weapons...light, not very bulky, quiet, doesn't require licensing, ammo easy to source, inexpensive, can be improvised readily with found objects, training costs, other than time minimally expensive depending on ammo.

    I agree also most think of it as a toy and it's over looked.

    Yes, just like a good pellet gun. Slingshots are not toys if used right and neither are a lot of primitive weapons or pellet guns. Thank you for sharing Bishop, I love your posts and views of alternatives. A welcome relief from the drivil and propaganda on the mass media. Also love dog porn so you have me hooked.

    Nice shootin' as always. What's the head made of on that target ?? As you said, it was holding up,, just wondering if it would ever need replacement.

    I think it's it's a heavy duty foam rubber with leather for the outside or micro leather

    the target could probably be improvised...an ashtray or a spindle stuck through a stainless steel bowl...some ballast to make it self righting and a squash ball as the substitute head.

    Sure. But this thread is about Zach's offering, not a cob job.

    What was the movie years ago that had someone fighting for their life armed with a slingshot? Jan Michael Vincent was in it? I enjoy this YouTube channel. JoergSprave The Slingshot channel. it has some funny and cool stuff.

    @ghrit

    Far be it for me to interfere with Zach Fowler's revenue stream by suggesting that an alternative, workable substitute might be 'cobbled together'. Improvise, adapt and overcome is at the heart of this site...where may one buy a Zach Fowler in a post apocalyptic world over run with geriatric 'yippie' barbarians wearing man-buns??? In an uncertain future, It be better to be able to improvise one with the materials that one has... ;)



    A more realistic head may also serve as a bait...the bird in the facebook video didn't seem to mind trying to mount or fight a pheasant cyborg :)
