    slingshots and vermin control

    Singshots can be deadly...just ask Goliath...but my experience with slingshots (having 4 boys) is that it is hard to find one that will not fall apart after a few shots.. Good luck with hunting a good slingshot...and then, good luck hunting with the slingshot!
