Roving Richs post about catching geese got me thinking about the bolas and slings me and my brother used to play with years ago.
Anyone else had any experience with them?
We made our bolas' by casting some lead balls that were about an inch across then stringing them. I had one that was a 3 ball version an it weighed quite a bit. I remember throwing it to a post and missing but hitting a tree next to it and it sticking into the bark temporarily!
I made a few slings too but never got particularly good at accuracy - the range was excellent!
