    So I just put in an order for one of these Pocket Shot sling shot contraptions. Do any of you Hoarders have them? Seems like a neat idea and when I had searched for a 'sling shot' I found either chincey looking stuff, or crazy elaborate and fancy stuff. This one looked a bit out of the box, which is right up my drive.

    I have one of the original style wrist rocket sling shots. I need to get new rubber tubes and projectiles. It was the wife's uncle's.

    Better get it found, fixed and practice. Might need to use it for food in the future.
