The protective glove is a must when shooting darts. You have to fail only once and that's enough to cause permanent damage to your nerves. I have the old protective glove, but that new glove with the scale design looks cool. I'm currently shooting darts with naturals I have carved. I think frame hit isn't catastrophic with the wooden frame, because darts can penetrate it. I'm hammer gripping, because I find it is much safer way to shoot those.

For archery I use a burlap bag stuffed (very tightly) with wadded up polyethylene bags as a backstop. Properly packed the bag will stop an arrow from a hunting weight bow with only 2 or 3 inches penetration and the arrows can be easily removed. Been using these for years - they are light weight, weather resistant, inexpensive and don't damage the arrows. Because they are so light they can roll from the impact of an arrow (may not be a problem with the slingshot darts) so I usually hang the backstop from a tree limb with a couple of ropes.
@johnnygunz23002 жыл бұрын
For archery (even with my 80 lb compound) a good target for cheap is a burlap bag stuff full of plastic grocery bags. That setup works better than the expensive store bought targets.... Field tipped arrows are VERY easy to pull out and even with broadheads the target stops arrows very well. The burlap holds up with field points and of torn by broadheads you just layer with a second burlap bag. You can leave it outside and it dosen't get stinky like stacked rug targets. Plus it's very light and can be hiked with it into the woods or hung up easily. I think it would work great with these darts but you won't get that satisfying "thuddd" sound.

I love the Snipersling darts, they are a good company to deal with too - good customer service and they always throw in a few freebies when I order darts from them. For a backstop I use a woven rubble sack stuffed (very firmly) with rags, it stops the darts with no damage to them and lasts quite a long time. The bags are under a tenner for a dozen. For information the Snipersling black bands shoot the darts at 180fps, which is 7ftlbs. I use a slingshot where the forks stick up a couple of inches above my fingers, so the dart isn't coming near. I also wear one of the leather and steel plate gloves you mention.

Look at the black widow sling shot design and note the wrist brace built into the handle, this helps to steady the frame, keep it vertical and puts a lot more power into the shot. We used them for fishing, putting bait out really far! When the fish weren't biting we'd have sling shot battles with mates, firing carp fishing boilies, like a hard ball of condensed bait about the size of a marble, firing them across the lake at each other! A bit like a paint ball without the paint, travelling at like 1000ft / second lol they don't half sting when they make contact!! 😯⚠️💥😁 Safety goggles are optional lol

The fiestas of the old Tondo in Manila comes to my mind whenever I see this weapon. I have seen one picture of an unfortunate policeman, in one of the big local tabloids, with a freaking dart embedded in his forehead way back in the 80's. From what I can recall, I believe the dart has penetrated half of it's length inside his fore head. Not sure if he died later though as it was really customary for the local gangs there, to poison the tip of those darts to be used against the rival gangs or any poor bastard who happens to raise their ire. They soak the dart tip in muriatic acid which can be bought in local hardware stores.

Plus, the guy that shot himself in the thumb, shot himself in a part that would've been unprotected anyway.
@darkcircle8992 жыл бұрын
If you look in the comments someone has already do that test. However the point of the scales is not to take the impact head on they are designed to deflect the projectile and the design works very well. Scales were used for undress of years to deflect arrows from war bows with a draw weight in excess of 100lbs so I think they will do well with a dart from a slingshot.

@WrestlerMonkey1232 жыл бұрын
I would imagine not well. Because of the resistance of the water, any deviation in the retraction of the bands would be amplified and not allow the darts to shoot properly. This is why harpoon gun bands run the entire length of the barrel so they have a "guide" to allow the projectile to increase in velocity without deviating.
@darrylkinslow56132 жыл бұрын

Plus, no need to wait for a train, you can just use a saw and sharpen the tip more using sand paper.

We made our sling shots out of tree branches back in late 60’s early 70’s. If we let Ramiro, the biggest kid in the block make it for you, you had to let him take a shot at you to test your new weapon. We use china berries as our projectile of choice, but a nice small rock would do as well. It was just part of being a kid, back in the day!

I think you should thicken the shielded part with some sturdy 3-4mm cowhide on the under side of the dragon scales.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to design the handle in a way where there isn't a 33% risk of you shooting your own hand each shot, and likely also improve both accuaracy and power at the same time. In fact, I think I've seen such designs in action in various street brawls although those shoot steel balls rather than darts.

I used the latest generation of Snipersling darts in combination with the Saunders Pro-X wrist rocket (has a forward extended magnum-blast yoke and a built-in hand protector.) Wow. Wow. Lemme tell ya'.....Absolutely brutal. BRUTAL. 😎👍🏻

Have no experience with shooting darts, but I don‘t like how sharp the edges on the hook are. Rounded of edges are less prone to grab the string and probably easier to pull out of the wood. Just my thoughts. Happy shooting!

I used to make (much more basic) darts like these when I was a kid that I fired with a modified black widow catapult. Still got the scar on the back of my thumb from one snapping as I fired it. Fun times!

If the darts are magnetic try and use a shop magnet to get them out of foam or use an arrow to push them straight through

I used to nick my auntie's big crochet hooks to make similar makeshift slingshot darts, using sticky tape for quills and a thick elastic band tied onto a bent up Y-shaped metal coat hanger. 👍🏻

Maybe a knight's gauntlet would be a better idea! 🤣 I'd love to have this, though! I'd just put a regular pouch on the bands lol

Years ago, I knew a guy from the Philippines and he told me about how the gangs there used these in their warfare; except they modified large nails. Nasty!

I use to make something similar as a kid. I would use a straw, sharpen a hair clip and a rubber band to hold it together. Then use another rubber band as the slingshot. Pretty effective and fun.
