Pretty sure these are the end kf a long search. Very low bounce, can take a beating, sand core feels really nice in the pouch.

Available by the half-dozen in 200 g, lighter weights only singly but 200 grams may be about right. Will let yall know. Lacross balls, my favorite except for the ridiculous bounce, are about 145g. These are slightly smaller which I prefer.

I will add that at sling speeds a lacrosse ball and certainly these will force themselves right through typical chain link fences. Please make sure you have netting or a proper batting cage for these. I imagine sand would work really well too as a backstop kr to measure distance.

Is this just a common North American yellowjacket, or is it a specific species that could have a way more powerful venom? I was stung by it amd just got back from the ER. Forst thought is I just got a massive dose of venom.

Also if more is needed to identify, what is it?

Today I found roadside a box foll of cool bottles - not old ones, in fact brand new but unique and see finely crafted. Many will be useful and beautiful. Some will be useful in the specific context of slings.

Here's a pic of the best of the slinging ones.

I can't say what they're for, nor could I ever share video or really even talk about anything that may have happened. But right now nothing's been done, just found some really intereeting bottles!

I think I may take a few 2nd and 3rd tier bottles and check out splatter patterns with water or Everclear, just to get an idea and a feel for range and spread of a liquid-filled bottle. I mean, you never know what you might need to know?

You'll probably never sling your best stones, and these jars will sit on my shelves for life. But yeah, something I have been wanting to have as an extreme-range example of what slings can do, and honestly the way things feel now politically amd socially, it may not stay on the wall as long as I'd thought.
