Slingshot, Bow, Crossbows?

MATRIX: The bow and broadhead will be a fine way to "pick up" the weapon of your choice from a jbt who won't need it anymore if/when thshtf.
 
Anyone see "The good son?" With McCully Caulkin? I'd love to make a "bolt gun" like that kid had :D It' killed a pit-bull at what looked like quite a ways off.

Nukem, you can hear your bow at 200 yards?!
Get some Limb Savers and string silencers.

It's got that, but it's still not that quiet. Different bows. What usually make the most noise is the shaft thumping thru the deer, breaking ribs and then thumping into the ground on the other side. I can usually tell a hit of miss at long range just buy the sound.
Besides, when the woods are quiet you can really hear things a long way off.
 
Guerilla took my post.

Wrist rockets with ball bearings (never thought of the nut thing) are absolutely devastating when used properly. The ball bearing will penetrate corrugated tin (e.g. a barn side), without any trouble. They are also pretty accurate to about 30 yds.

congrats!

A wrist rocket with half-inch lead muzzleloader balls will go right through a piece of 1" pine.
 
I think some of ya'll are underestimating the power of the old-fashioned "David vs. Goliath" type sling. It's deadly to 100 yds with proper ammo. I understand it can be plenty accurate as well with practice. I'm trying to find the source, but I read once that the sling has the potential to deliver roughly the same energy as the .38 Special.
 
Andrew, way to go! As father of 7, and therefore an expert in such subjects, I must wish you good fortune on what will become the most trying and joyful journey of your life. Read the Time magazine article about the development of the brain, if you have not done so. Best daddy advice around. Maybe one other piece of advice, FWIW. Best way to show a kid you love him: initiate meaningful activities. Remember those 3 words.

And don't be giving them Palestinians any good ideas!

I remember a Natl. Geo article on ancient Greece where they showed a small football shaped hunk-o-lead inscribed with the greek runes for "Take that!".

A bullet with you name on it from B.C.

Ow.
