Slingbow advice needed
I know some of you have had experience with a slingbow. Was thinking of getting one, but afraid that after the newness wore off I would end up not using it much. I know of two manufactures, Chief aj and falcon archery. Anybody else make them? Should I get one? Probably will never replace my recurve.

Seanf, I bought one a couple of years ago. I have yet to shoot a fish with it, does not seem to have much umph. I even got the more powerful tubes from the Chief. I would admit I have not given it a fair chance. If I had it to do over again I would keep my $40. Plus you have to ruin an arrow as you have to remove the knock for it to fit into the pocket.

Seanf, I forgot to add I'LL sell you mine cheap.

Johnny I'll take that "ruined" arrow off yer hands. ;)
I know a guy who'll fix it. :poke: Sean, Christine got the same slingshot Johnny has. She had the less powerful bands. Since she has a tough time gripping the pouch and pulling it back. At the Deer Classic he came out with a new version that has a nocking point so you can use a "normal" arrow and a D-loop so you can use a release. I tried using C's slingshot at Carlyle. I hit fish but they pulled off. So none in the boat for me yet with the slingshot. |
Nahh, kendall i'll keep the arrow i do know how to glue a nock back on it. plus it has a penetrator shure shot tip and I know you use Muzzies.

As K said.. the new bands let you keep the nock on and you can use a release if you want. A big improvement I think. (tho I first tried it with a thumb release... and well that didn't work out so well.. my fault, I let go of the release!! :D )
I think it's a fun thing to use. It won't replace my bow... but it's small and light and it adds a new angle to the challenge. (Johnny I heard about your misses on the Wabash.. so you don't need the additional challenge... Bam!! ;) ) I think I'll really have fun with it when we take the canoes out. Shooting out of a canoe is a lot easier with a slingshot. |
If we're talking challange here, I want to know who is up for making and using an atlatl. Dates back before the bow and arrow.
