As a result, they are very popular among children and pre -school adolescents and were one of the most popular children's toys of the 20th century. In parts of the world, especially in the United States, some people really hunt with them and there are competitions for accuracy and speed shooting.

Sling Shot is a very simple construction that consists of a central shaft that sees two rods to which the ends of the rubber band or rubber tube are connected. In general, this tube has a wider segment in the center, making the cradle of ammunition easier. The traditional shot from the sling was made of unhealthy tires, but began to produce and sell commercially as children's toys at the end of the 1940s. It is unlikely that the weapon appeared only around the 20th century. In the next few decades would remain popLara domestic toy until Wham-O started to produce them for sale in 1948. In 1954 Saunders followed its own innovation, mounted on the wrist to add stability and torque.

Sling Shot also makes an impressive hunting weapon for a small game and offers many advantages over other weapons.

Hunters who use cross -ranging generally do not use rocks, although the rocks can be used if there is no other ammunition around. Ideally, a metal ball shot between 3/8 ”(9 mm) and 1/2” (12 mm) is used in diameter, which JThey are sufficient to kill most of the game, and is light enough to travel at high speed and easily transfer a large amount. A Lethal range with a spring shot is generally about 80 feet (25 m), although at greater distances can be achieved by ideal ammunition and well -created weapons.

In recent years, people have also begun to use a shot in paintball. Because the power of the ammunition paintball is already relatively low, the sling shot can actually work almost as well as the paintball pistol, although the learning curve is slightly larger. Many people carry a slingshot like a backup weapon in case their weapons, and many people also use them as a sniper weapon because they are even quieter than a paintball weapon. Although many fields allow them, some have restrictions on any Weaponry that is not specially approved, so it is always good to check before bringing to paintball fields.
