Slingshot Ammo About 1800 PCS Professional,7/20"(9mm) Hard Clay Ball, Environmentally Friendly.

so been trying to chase off some squirrels from the bird feeder. Got a new sling shot (simple shots, great guys) and wanted ammo that wouldn't take out the neighbors or that I'd be running over and shooting with the lawn mower. These pellets are great fun to practice with and they do just melt away with the rain. Found a few mis-shaped pellets but out of 600 I've shot already only two that I can remember. Good weight so they still work nice on targets and make a nice hole in a pop can.

1800 may sound like a lot but you would be amazed at how many you and a couple friends can go through taking down beer cans while camping. Love the fact that you don't have to worry about picking up a bunch of steel shot around my backyard or while out in the woods. Far better than using rocks as these are more accurate and cause less wear and tear on your slingshot pouch. Also less risk of a ricochet since these break into mostly dust upon impact with hard surfaces. Definitely will be buying more soon.

Just to mention that the ammo came in a three smaller bags inside a larger bag, and that those smaller bags of 600 each, fit perfectly inside my jeans pocket - this makes for a cleaner, and an almost effortless way of carrying ammo when shooting lots, over longer periods of time. Only knocking off one star for the inconsistencies in the ammo which can cause accuracy issues - those inconsistencies were advertised, and were expected, but it can cause some ammo to veer off course in weird ways over longer distances. Honestly (and realistically), for the price, this stuff is excellent, and if, like me, you are shooting out into a forest, this ammo will not litter :0) Incidentally, these balls will create poofs of clay dust when they hit hard, against a hard target, and will mark where you hit. This ammo is great and a lot of fun to plink with. Shot my way through 600 of the things in less than a week, I will be ordering more.

It took over a week to find a place to shoot my slingshot but I don’t want that to color my review. The ammo is great, and it is making me do exercises for my hands. I went through nearly half a bag in one go! It was so much fun, but I am paying for it now with sore fingers and tired hands.

I liked the good value for the money. The quality of the shots are very good. Although I knew the size of the shots I was hoping they would not feel small, but they did feel a bit small for my practice shooting. They would have been excellent if they were 1/2 inch in size.

We used these with a wrist rocket type sling shot, and they worked just fine out in the fields shooting at little targets. Sometimes, it was a bit difficult to track where they went, though, because they're earth colored and we're shooting them at targets near the, well, earth. However, they're cheap and plentiful and don't fall to pieces when you shoot them. Good for goofing off and getting better with your aim.

So I've recently spent A LOT of time shooting my slingshot.. Since I'm in a suburban area and don't have a lot of space, and ricochets would be really bad where I have to shoot, I've been buying clay ammo. I find that good clay ammo will mostly crumble on impact, rarely ricochet, and when it does, it's going slow enough that it doesn't break anything. I've picked up three major varieties of clay ammo; Hard ammo, Soft Accurate, and Soft Cheap. Now the "Hard" ammo almost doesn't fit in the clay ammo category. Clay ammo has been fired, like pottery. What this means is that it (mostly) doesn't crumble (unless you hit a metal surface, hard) and it does not bio-degrade, The bio degrade part means, unlike the good ammo, this ammo will never rot, never melt away with the rain. It ricochets, a lot, fortunately it doesn't retain a lot of energy when it bounces, so it's just annoying and not harmful (PS. wear some kind of eye-pro.) It's slightly cheaper than the good ammo, it's relatively consistent in size and shape, it's very barely lighter than the good clay (because they fired the water out.) This type of clay is a lot like glass ammo, kinda useless. If you're trying to re-use ammo, you need a trap or a catch, and steel out performs clay/glass in cost and ballistics, so I would probably avoid this type. The Soft Accurate ammo is the best because it comes in a uniform size and weight, and crumbles away with the rain. Sometimes they might have a coating on the outside of the ammo, or a tint, I prefer the light colored ammo because you can track the flight easier. Being accurate is all about a consistent, repeatable shot, so uniformity of ammo is critical. This is the kind I prefer to buy. Generally this is the most expensive, but only by a few bucks. This ammo is what I call Soft Cheap. It is soft, so it will crumble very nicely when it hits something, but, due to lack of attention in packing, it is covered in dust, so turns your fingers and sling pouch yellow like some low-budget Cheetos. The size is all over the place, some are almost marble size, some tiny, some football shaped. Don't get me wrong, if you're shooting rocks now, this is an improvement, but if you're going for accuracy, spend the few bucks more and get the better ammo.

A lot of pigeons consider my home their home. I don't agree! I've been using some BB size steel ball that came with an ammo sampler for slingshots, useful for a basement gallery, but not for pigeons at any distance. Still, they hear the SNAP sound and know something's in the air and leave... temporarily. I don't like leaving that steel all over the place and was very pleased to discover this clay ammo during a search one day. I think it's great... about 10mm in size, and biodegradable as well, it makes a nice CRACK when it hits a tree. Maybe sometime I'll actually hit a pigeon with it!
