Here's a great question. What is the best slingshot ammo?
This is definitely a bit of a long answer, but here's the nutshell:
The number one factor for a good slingshot ammo is simply that it is spherical. Slingshot ammo needs to fly smoothly through the air without any force pulling it in one direction or the other, and that is only possible if the slingshot ammo is spherical.
So number one, make sure it's round.
When it comes to different materials for slingshot ammo, there are a lot of great options. Your ammo might be made of a type of metal, glass, clay, or any other substance that can be spherical.
Clay ammo has become very popular lately as it has become more consistent in size and shape. Clay is fun because it is completely biodegradable and also can explode on contact with a hard object. We love Clay!
The number one choice for accuracy is of course steel ammo. Steel ammo is as consistently spherical as you will ever find, and it shoots incredibly true.
Lead ammo is still our number one choice for hunting as it packs the most punch. The chemical properties of lead make it a choice that we would only recommend under hunting situations.
Shooting marbles or other glass bowls is fun and marbles are quite consistent, but be aware that you are shooting and ammo that will break if it strikes a hard object. We know you're always wearing safety glasses, but we're going to say it again here. Wear them!
There are other types of fun slingshot ammo, some of which are no longer available, such as powder bowls which were a blast!
Bottom line, make sure your ammo is as close to perfectly spherical as possible and shoot appropriately based on the ammo selection.
