The homemade slingshot in the boy's pocket. I wonder how many kids in the West these days even know what it's for.; June 12, 2009 at 5:41 AM

You can't use them anywhere because you could take some ones eye out or even kill someone if a rock hits the temple.
But to go to the lake or ocean , they are fun to see who can get a pebble further. If you get lost in the wilderness, knowing how to use one could provide you with food you would otherwise not be able to get by trapping.
I guess they are like a bow and arrow. Like anything else, they don't hurt any one on their own.
Its people who do the damage.:); June 12, 2009 at 11:53 AM
