Slingshot Ammo About 1000 PCS,1/2''(About 13mm),Biodegradable Hard Clay Ball

My grandson loves using this ammo with his sling shot. We are enjoying our practice time together.

Now Theese are great for biodegradable slingshot ammo. I've bought from this company a few times and been quite happy. Didn't find any broken ones and the blue color is nice. This is the type of biodegradable ammo that could be used for hunting but is best for target practice. They hit harder than the smaller 3/8" clay ammo and fly farther. As for power, Theese have more power than lighter smaller ammo and I hear the pleasant thwack of them shattering on hard surfaces. I suppose that if your slingshot can fire Theese faster than 250 fps (most slingshots can) they do a lot of damage. Sphere consistency is very good, about as spherical as any other 12.7mm ball. I feel like I am helping the earth by using biodegradable ammo instead of steel or glass. Good ammo.

I bought a good slingshot to deal with a prairie dog problem in the back portion of my large suburban lot. I can't use a gun due to a local ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms, and I won't use poison pellets because desirable wildlife (as well as domestic dogs and cats) could ingest the poison and die. Also, any prairie dog that eats the poison and dies above ground becomes poisonous to any scavenger that eats the carcass, such as a coyote, raccoon, owl, hawk, or eagle. I first ordered a bag of 1/2" clay balls in a dark brown color, but found that it was difficult to track them in flight, especially in low light conditions. So, I ordered a bag of these lighter colored clay balls, which are much easier to track. They are uniformly round and 1/2" in diameter. I have found that they fly straight and as far as 100 yards or so. The prairie dogs I'm shooting at are in the 30-50 yard range. I've had two confirmed kills in the two weeks that I've been using my slingshot (both head shots at about 30 yards) and a dozen or so body shots that stunned the varmints and caused them to flee my property. One of my neighbors whose property abuts mine has a bizarre affection for prairie dogs and actually feeds the vermin, which attracts them to his property from all over the surrounding area. When he sees me shooting at them with my slingshot (only when they are on MY property), he gives me the finger and curses at me. Well, he can go pound sand because not only do they dig unsightly holes that are difficult to mow around, but they carry and spread diseases like tularemia and bubonic plague. He complained to the sheriff's department about my use of a "lethal weapon" within the city limits, but was told that as long as it's not a gun or explosive device, I am within the law to shoot prairie dogs on MY property with a slingshot. That's not what he wanted to hear, and he actually told the sheriff's deputy that he was going to sue me for killing "his pets". Needless the say, the guy isn't playing with a full deck and belongs in a loony bin! These hard clay balls are biodegradable and are therefore are environmentally-friendly, unlike steel balls that many slingshot "hunters" use. Clay balls disintegrate when exposed to the first good rain. In addition to the 1000 clay balls, you get a small mesh bag with a drawstring for carrying up to a couple hundred balls with you on your "hunting" expeditions. A word to the wise: Be careful when target practicing because these balls can damage personal property, as evidenced by the noticeable dent a ball made in my mailbox at the end of the driveway, about 25 yards from where I fired the ball.

At first I was disappointed that the size of these was so inconsistent. That said, they fly straight and the size variation only mattered on longer shots. I quickly learned to adjust for that in my aim. They tend to hold up well unless you hit something hard with them, so you get a lot of reusable ones.

I haven't used them yet, but they all look perfectly round, some of them appear to be a little bit smaller in size, but I think they'll be just fine for practice. 😁

Love these things. Slightly smaller than 1/2" but not by much and there is a slight variance in size, but not ever more than 1/16th of an inch. They are very smooth and perfectly round or close enough to round as to not matter a bit. Not dusty at all, hold up well and are sometimes reusable (if you hit anything solid like wood, the pellets will shatter- as is to be expected- but we were shooting at a corrugated pizza box (with a normal daisy b-52) and at 20ft the pellets went straight through and out the other side intact and reusable. At 30-40ft the pellets went through the pizza box top, dented the backside but remained inside the box to be collected and reused again and again.) Will definitely buy more of these when we finish off this bag.

I bought these to replace the 3/8 diameter clay rounds I had bought because those were not very accurate and flew in every direction but straight. Deceided to give these a try from some of the reviews I heard. I will say that I bought 2000 rounds over a month and a half ago. Having to buy another 2000 rounds because I trust what they are putting out. These will increase your accuracy, the dye is a bit runny. I aim at cans so the explosion of the ammo makes me want to hit the target more. I love the coffee colored rounds easy to spot in catch box, price has gone up so will be buying the black rounds this go round.

Generally what I expected, but being smaller than 1/2", they don't pack as much wallop. The smaller size isn't really enough to change my aim. I have a problem with javelina destroying my garden. I used to use 3/8" shot, but some of the big males would completely ignore the pellets. I switched to the "L Continue 1000 Pieces Diameter 1/2" Slingshot Ammo Biodegradable Hard Clay Ball" (coffee), and they paid attention (mostly). The current "Harden" color is much closer to 3/8" (0.472" +/- 0.025"), and lighter (2.0g +/- 0.3g); sample size 20. For comparison, a single ball with a diameter of 0.504" weighed 2.5 grams - 25% LESS. I'm going back to "Coffee", but they seem to be back ordered. I got a bag of "Timbocca 1/2 Inch Slingshot Ammo" in the interim and it averages 0.494" (+/- 0.011) and 2.8 g (+/- 0.1g). The Timbocca is also 24% denser (2.7 g/cc vs 2.2 g/cc).

Amazing quality. A little large though.
