I've taken up slingshots to keep me punching paper & it's something to do indoors to quell the lockdown boredom these days ... there's a whole world of high tech flat band slingshots out there that I've discovered (these are not your old fashioned wrist rockets we had as kids) - with 3/8" steel ammo, there's no drop at 10 yards - fly much faster & hit harder than you'd think .. and you can do it indoors quietly with a catch box (plus they're cheap - neither of these slingshots cost more than $30). Here's what I'm talking about if anybody's interested ...

Slingshots aside, knives are good too ::tu:: - welcome
My middle boy is a slingshot nut. He’s been making and selling those flat and sling shots for a while now. You’re right. When it comes to power and accuracy they’re nothing like the old inner tube band sling shots we had as kids.
Wow nice ! That is the neat part about slingshots - if a person is creative, they can make their own really amazing SS's.
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

And a quick Google about slingshots here in New Jersey...

Under New Jersey state law, manufacturing, transporting or possessing a slingshot without "an explainable, lawful purpose" is a fourth degree crime which is punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Take care and God bless,
