I know slingshots have been debated on here before and they are not legal in NC but are they effective implements for taking species like fox squirrels?
why do you even ask this question? It's as good as the shooter
They will kill the hell out of a cat, draw your own conclusions. Measure and scrutinize that and see if it answers your goofy question.So a slingshot has enough power to kill a squirrel as big as fox squirrel?
Not talking chipmunks or red squirrels
I figure they're not legal because they are limited in what they can kill
Google Rufus Hussey....
Don't have to Google that man. I'm a distant relative and he made a few for me. I never reached 25% of the skill he had with them.

When I was training squirrel dogs heavy one stayed in my coat to keep squirrels moving. I had carried one since I was a kid. I had a buddy that was good with a bow make a comment about me shooting it and we had a little competition in the yard one day. Lets just say he never challenged me again. Now I haven't touched one seriously in years, but I bet with a couple days practice I could probably be pretty decent again out to 30 yds or so. When I was wanting to kill something 45 cal lead balls was my choice. Just plinking or moving stuff for pups marbles.The Karen guys I hang out with will shoot you in the head at 50yds with a sling shot.
They claim to have killed monkeys any many other game animals with them.
I guess it depends on your skill set.

Yep, it is amazing what that combination will do to the old noggin.kindred minds here,,,,
when I was doing stuff for Uncle Sam,,, I almost always had a wrist rocket in one pocket and a dozen or so 45 cal balls in the other,,,,
had fresh meat many a night while "on patrol",,,, that combo was almost as good as my suppressed ruger Mark II
A few years ago i thought bringing a slingshot with me while archery moose hunting would be a great idea based on the grouse we often see, and certainly didn't want to use a gun for noise. Pocket full of marbles and i was set.
After multiple times trying to hit this bird at a distance of 15, then 10, then 5 and running out of marbles i decided to finally throw the slingshot at the bird and still missed. That slingshot if anyone wants it is still sitting where it landed and there should be a good number of marbles in the vicinity
Just like any weapon,,,,takes practice
Not the crossrifle ... er.....crossbow.
