I like to fire jelly babies against brick walls - really satisfying for some reason.

I just meant an hour aiming at a tree stump is pretty dull, a range of targets, objects, distances, I can understand.
It was recycling bin day yesterday, so I had no tin cans... 🙄
Why did I just click Redthunder's link... This was in similar items
I think I might have jumped in too soon with the Pro Diablo II, I should have done more research and bought [url= http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fully-Armed-Powerful-Judge-G3-Hunting-Slingshot-Catapult-Camouflage-Military-Panther-Sling-Shot-With-Arrow-Rest/32319772330.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.195.SUNil6&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_3_10037_10034_507_10032_10020_10017_10005_10006_10021_10022_10009_10008_10018_10019,searchweb201603_9&btsid=3f55529b-2fa0-44d0-be36-a7a11faa4364 ]this bad boy[/url]!

It's the splat sound more than the fact they are baby shaped tbf.
I should have done more research and bought this bad boy!
Before you up your weapon,have a look at [i]Slingshot Video Goes Horribly Wrong*[/i] on youtube,a good reminder of what speedy ball bearings could do.

Is there one of these that fits in a jersey pocket? I'm thinking of road rage response here...
Cyclingweakly - I feel like you just became my new best friend.
Questions, can I have a go?. And, wanna play radio controlled cars next?

Me and the rest of the gang will have a meeting in the treehouse to decide your initiation... 😆
Ok, but I'm bat shit crazy and will do anything dumb if goaded.
By the way, my friends call me 'Dragon'
If you've got a remote control car, I'm sure you'll fit in just fine... Dragon. 😉

I bought a black widow a couple of years ago to decimate the local magpie population which seemed to spend far too much time in my garden bullying smaller birds. Dunno how they got wind of it but I swear as soon as it got delivered the magpies disappeared.
This thread has brought back some good memories and I am tempted to buy one of things I was never allowed as a kid - a proper archery kit. I know proper archers would probably laugh as [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121361460406?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=420305561103&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ]this set[/url] for £80, but I expect it will still be able to put arrows into cardboard boxes stacked up at the end of my garage. Anyone got a reason not to? Don't have to hide it from Mum now 😈
That'll be proper good fun Mowgli! I used to shoot Olympic Recurve at a national level and some of the best times we had ere dicking about with little Hungarian bows after comps. We also had 'clout' and 'flight' competitions which were great with those sort of bows.
As an aside, we used to have an informal contest to decide who shot first on club days - we'd see who could throw an arrow the furthest down the range. One day, I hid a length of fishing line with a loop on one end in my hand, hooked the loop over the knock and used it to 'slingshot' an arrow over 150 yards!!
Try it, it's great fun!
Cant beleive the amounts of stories about not being allowed a Black Widow. I wanted one so bad but knew that there was no chance being allowed. Anyway, saved up dinner money (went without lunch for months) and cycled over to the next town and bought one. It was my prized possession. Managed to keep it hidden for months. My dad for some reason had loads of lead pipe in the garage and I used to spend mornings in there with a pump up primus stove and steel ladle making lead shot from the pipe. Got rumbled when my dad finally found a bag full of home made lead shot.
Happy days. Throwing cans in the nearby reservoir and shooting them.
