external ballistics, elevation and 6 more...

texas, sabine county

It's almost over. I fly back home in a week. It's been great visiting with family, but it will also be great getting back home.

This was an unplanned trip, prompted by my oldest daughter's almost fatal illness. She spent 6 weeks in the Shreveport, LA VA hospital, and at one point was not expected to live through the night. She made a miraculous...

This is my review of my latest slingshot, which is designed and produced by Jim Harris at Performance Catapults. It is called the SPS.

I ordered mine in Cocobolo. I chose Cocobolo because of its beauty. I find the Dark wood, with defined grain pattern very pleasing to the eye. Well, my eye anyway. But, I also chose it for practical reasons. Cocobolo is a...

Terminal Ballistics - A model to predict penetration depth

Posted by ZDP-189 in Zed's Technical Writings, 08 December 2011 -

· 1,106 views

terminal ballistics and 3 more...

Summary
In this blog entry, I use data published by The Slingshot Channel to come up with a simplified formula to predict the depth of penetration of slingshot projectiles in ballistics gelatin. Gelatin has some initial resistance to penetration, but once you get over 20m/s (65fps), you can expect the the projectile to penetration its own diameter...

Hello again my slingshot friends. In this blog entry I wish to give an explanation of the larger pouches found on my slingshots. I want to state now and for the record I’m writing about my preferences and not downing anyone or their equipment….much less their elastics of choice. Lord knows we’ve gotten bogged down in that...

Drop box idea

Posted by Dennis the Menace in Dennis the Menace's Blog, 20 March 2011 -

· 273 views

I've been thinking about making some kind of drop box to catch the incoming shots, preferrably reliable enough to use inside the house. Something with a lot of 45 angled boards and a slope at the bottom to send back the rounds. The whole thing shouldn't become bigger than 80cm wide by 60cm high and deep. Nothing decided yet.

Pocket Poachers

For the past few days, I've been using two 'Pocket Poachers' sent to me by the most estimable of English catapult makers, the Hogan's Castings workshop. I've been using them with square and flat bands, inside and out, over short distances (with instinctive targeting) and longer ones (with standard targeting techniques)
