Add about $8000-$10,000, for a lot of places. For the biguns anyway.

You can do it yourself for a lot less in Eastern KY. Largest herd east of the Mississippi.

ETA: And we got a few biguns, nothing like AZ or NM, though...

Offer them a no-fee card with $5,000 credit, 0% interest on balance transfers, and a free picnic cooler. That will win them back.

That would only work if it is a .... bear market.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I'll be here all week...

Gravdigr · 06-28-2011, 03:02 PM

Stop, I can't bear it.

ZenGum · 06-28-2011, 11:30 PM

I smell trouble bruin, and I wouldn't want to polarise opinions or panda* to your grizzliness, so I'll black off now.

* I know. Shush.

I think that last volley put you on the "No Fly" list.

So, I've been getting into this martial/projectile frame of mind lately. Not sure what it is, last summer it was boat fever which I thankfully recovered from before suffering any lasting damage.

The other night I watched some sort of discovery channel thing about paleo/neo lithic weapons and such. So I figured that a fun thing to tinker with as part of my ongoing efforts at earning my black belt in procrastination, would be making some of these things.

Today I made a simple sling out of a scrap of leather and some 4mm climbing cord. I went out into the backyard and very gently, with my better shoulder, shot a walnut sized stone all the way across my yard, my neighbor's yard and up onto her corrugated steel roof. The fucking thing FLEW and when it hit it sounded like the hammers of hell. Glad no one lives there and glad I didn't put out a window. That would have sucked.

Check out this guy from Spain. the second video he is slinging a Cestros, it looks like a crossbow bolt.

Idle hands and all that...

Very cool.

Special sling glandes with aerophonic properties.They are physically based on bull-roarer acoustics.

From wikipedia:

Quote:

Almond shaped leaden sling-bullets were typically about 35 mm (1 3/8 in) long and about 20 mm (3/4 in) wide weighing approximately 28 g (0.99 oz). Very often, symbols or writings were moulded into lead sling-bullets. Many examples have been found including a collection of about 80 sling-bullets from the siege of Perusia in Etruria from 41 BC, to be found in the museum of modern Perugia. Examples of symbols include a stylised lightning bolt, a snake, and a scorpion - reminders of how a sling might strike without warning. Writing might include the name of the owning military unit or commander or might be more imaginative: "Take this," "Ouch," and even "For Pompey's backside" added insult to injury, whereas dexa (catch!) is just sarcastic.

some things never change...

TheMercenary · 07-02-2011, 08:21 AM

Holy shit, that looked like it was made out of poured lead shot. That would frigging hurt.

footfootfoot · 07-02-2011, 08:28 AM

On this show I saw, they measured the force of a 1 oz chunk of lead thrown from a sling at something like 95 mph. Then they shot it at a ballistics dummy skull and it was buried about 3 inches inside. I'll say it would hurt.
