Recently on www.slingshotforum.com the member “Bad Company” suggested a Traveling Slingshot, whereby a couple of slingshots travel from member to member to go on a world tour. Well, what a great idea!! FlippinOut Slingshots has donated two slingshots to the adventure and these slingshots are ready to be sent around the world to Slingshotforum.com members to explore new lands, perform spectacular feats of marksmanship, hunt through field and forest, and ultimately share an adventure with slingshot enthusiast’s the world over.
Here is how it goes:
FlippinOut Slingshots™ has donated two slingshots to this world tour, One Omega™ and One Axiom™. There are two groups of enthusiasts who may sign up for this adventure: Target/Trick Shooters and Hunters. The Target/trick shooters will receive the Omega and the Hunters will receive the Axiom. The target/trick slingshot will come banded with single Theraband Gold and a SuperSure Bonded leather pouch. The Hunters slingshot will come banded with double Theraband Gold and a SuperSure Bonded leather pouch.
Now, the rules of the game:
- You must be a member of www.slingshotforum.com in order to participate
- You must be at least 18 years of age to participate
- Each member may use the slingshot for up to two weeks then send it to the next member in line to receive it.
- You must be able to afford to ship the slingshot anywhere in the world by a shipping method that is guaranteed to get it there in a timely manner ie. No economy shipping and tracking methods are encouraged. It just won’t work if the slingshot spends more time in the mail than in member’s hands.
- If you want to get on the list, contact me here only the first five members for each category will be able to particpate.
- You must post about your experience on www.slingshotforum.com and the Flippin Blog. This may include pictures, stories, videos etc. Be creative, this is fun for all and we want to share in your adventure around the world with the Traveling Slingshots.
- Members who participate in receiving and hosting in the Traveling Slingshots adventure will be eligible for a 10% discount on any slingshot within the “Enthusiast Grade” category at FlippinOut Slingshots!
- The Traveling Slingshot Journey ends after the sixth member contacts me. The last member to use the slingshot will then send it back to FlippinOut Slingshots.
- You must sign your name or make your “mark” on the slingshot with an indelible marker(Sharpie or Magic Marker). When the Traveling Slingshot makes it back home to FlippinOut Slingshots, I will seal all the names and marks under a fresh layer of finish and the Traveling Slingshots will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. All proceeds will go to support www.slingshotforum.com .
The first two members to receive the Traveling Slingshots are:
Hunter- BJ000
Target/Trick Shooter- Aras
This should be fun!!

You sir, are in!!
so , before i set up for target practice , I had been walking around for a couple hours . I left my house right before sunrise , and on the way to my hunting spot ( which so far sucks ) , I saw two rabbits on someones front lawn. There was no way that I was going to try that, so I kept walking to my spot.. My little area is about the length of a football field and a half of forest and paths. I see a lot of grey squirrels, but I dont bother for them.. I hear and see a lot of red squirrels, laughing at my incompetence . I want to shoot for them because they get on my nerves because they chirp really loud to announce that I am coming to all the other animals but I can’t imagine they make good eating. They are so tiny.. like the size of a chipmunk.
I crouched down for 15 mins at a time in some places, just waiting for a rabbit to trust that it is safe and come out in the open , but I saw nothing.
I was distracted a lot by falling leaves and twigs from trees because it sounds like it could be a rabbit.
Once , when I was crouching down all quietly, I was startled by a woodpecker who all of a sudden starting pecking in the tree that i was leaning on. I would not go for it, again because of its size. If it was a duck sized woodpecker, I would eat it, no problem.
Anyways that was my morning fail with the traveling slingshot.
On the plus side, I am shooting really well the past few days. Something clicked in my head and I trust that I am not going to hit the fork, or my hand. Its like the slingshot became a part of me now and when I shoot I just look at the target and forget about everything else. It seems to help.
