    After over a year of working on a house remodel that I am going to move into that is 2 hours from my current home and lately some fixing on this house I am so close to being done I can taste the slingshot wood dust in my mouth again. Shooting will be a lot more relaxed and enjoyable too!!! Shooting isn't as enjoyable when you feel you have to sqeeze it in.

    After two months of a shoulder issue I am beginning to be able to shoot with some conistnet accuracy and only twings of pain now and then after a shot. Shooting was not much fun. It is getting fun again. Yahoo!!

    is the shoulder getting any better? I go back to the Doctor for my arm 11/17 I am hoping they will let me use a little more weight with that side. Though I doubt that they will let me use enough to pull my standard .75 .30 latex anytime soon let alone my hunting bands. Stuck with BB's for a bit though its fun and I am not complaining... much Hope you aer back to 100% soon

    Bummer!! Laptop went down and I have no idea why. What really torques my soul is that my extended warranty ended 3 days ago. Same thing happened with my desk to

    computer industry is getting these warranty expiration dates down to an art. Bet they will negotiate over 3 days.

    Apple is tough at times---like between 11:30:00am and 11:29:59am the following day. I wish you the best of luck but realistically speaking, this isn't an encouraging situation. I'm a Mac user, but Job #1 at Apple is getting users to buy new stuff.

    It happened the same to me. It was an apple and it went down after 25 days my warranty ended. Erniepc1 is right. I hope you can negotiate it.

    Can you believe I didn't enjoy shooting today. Well, it was due to the swarm of mosquitos being so thick. So upon coming out of the house with my magnet to collect ammo a wasp stung me in the neck!! Thankfully the wasp is dead and the mosquito that somehow got in the house and was harassing me just died.

    Sometimes it can be a little strong. Best dilute with some cold beer.

    Just ruined a bamboo slingshot working on my speed shooting with different set ups. the cool thing is the last set up I got 17 shots off and stopped because I figured I didn't start the timer. There was still 5 seconds left. Woo Hoo. Now I need to be able to hit the mark on all the shots.

    @dayhiker, the bamboo wasn't what was the downfall. I tried a particularly rigid pouch as an experiment. Don't use rigid pouches to speed shoot!

    I think Ray will likely get 14 to 16 in a minute @ 33 feet and no miss so Keep going Ray so I can see your name in The Book too.

    @ MJ. As far as I can tell it was a direct hit looking at the metal border of the pane (about 6 ft off course). I felt the ball being not seated in the pouch. Could very well have gone anywhere, including a RTS.

    Yesterday was the first time in 7 days I got to shoot my slingshot. Aside from about 10 shots I squeezed in one day. This working and it getting dark early is cramping my shooting!!

    Having an indoor set-up(a safe one) would be a great idea for rainy, cold, & seasonal obstacles.

    Ray, Ray, Ray, one must never let that happen.

    There just has to be a wee bit, small amount of benefit that you just have to grasp and hold on to when you are a private business owner. You must always be able to smile at what transpires.

    There are no smiles if there are no Slingshots.

    Hey Ray, I should have come on down after the seven days and shot with you. I just might have had a slight chance in contending

    A split in the middle of my shooting thumb that healed was reopened couple of days ago from a most enjoyble "shoot walk" a couple of days ago. Can't shoot normally for at least a few days. Bummer!! but on the bright side I finished a few slingshots instead.

    Worst fork hit I ever had, (broke an oak fork) was when I had a split on my thumb and had a band aid on it, really messed up my release.
