Just thought I would say high to everyone I have been shooting slingshots for 30 + years but I had no idea that there were others with my addiction. LOL I have shot homemades and standard walmart marksman brand and had no idea until a couple of day ago that anything else was available, now it looks like my bank account is going to take a pretty serious hit, I ordered a Dankung American Fox yesterday and today am drooling over flippingout's offerings.

I like to hunt and mould my own ammo from wheel weights and recovered lead shot from the skeet range, usually 45 and 50 caliber. When I lived in AZ I took lots of rabbits and a few quail, I haven't hunted as much in NC but plan too. Well, I reckon I have rambled enough I look forward to chattin with yall about this great hobby. Chris

no offense Nathan, but dont stop at flippinout's offerings, there are so many talented craftsman here it could seriously dent your wallet, but in the end you have well made galley nice ss's that will do everything you would want them to.

welcome

Welcome August West,

Isn't it amazing to find so many people that love what you do? This is a great place.

Lots of great vendors here, and lots of encouragement to make your own. I'm not there yet... But I am feeling the pull!

Hello,

your not kidding about breaking the bank with slingshots. I've been interested in 'em for about three weeks and already put a nice dent in the wallet between ammo, a daisy from the sporting goods store, a chief aj I ordered, and supplies working on the three homemades I have going. I keep telling myself I cant afford to order the real beauties I find online, then go out and spend money at the hardware store on supplies. The american fox caught my eye on the dankung site, but there is about 3 on the proshot website I am really digging.

anyhow...welcome.

Thanks guys, I can't wait to get into making my own bands and maybe a few forks to go with them. Chris
