Do you have a favorite?


What would you get nowadays?


I will use it on yard groceries, and yard avoidance negative reinforcement training for the neighbors dog.

From what I have seen the Brits are the slingshot shooters.

I agree with that. I have seen video of them head shooting wood pigeons out of trees and pheasants quite a ways out. They are flat deadly with them.

Favorite? Trial and error. You never know which one tickles your fancy.
It depends a bit on how you like to shoot. Strong hold, weak hold, horizontal, vertical, some where in between. Grab something. Anything. Start shooting. You will find what works for you.
Just do yourself a favor..Use the best ammo you can find. The denser and rounder the better.

Buckshot and glass marbles for example.

I get bands from simple shot.
Ammo from Amazon.

https://simple-shot.com
There is a bunch of information about matching ammo and bands available from simple shot (important to shoot well) and don't forget the Youtube videos

I have a couple of their frames. I prefer the Oculous band attachment system

Saying that I most often shoot a free with 1400 steel balls frame from Amazon. It feels better in my hand. LOL
