I thought about that originally, but I'm pretty sure it'll be more of a display piece than actually used.

well if it's just a decoration just copy the design of old traditional items
personally i like the sexy tactical nylon thing, and the materials are easier to work with
💯 I'm committed to fox pelt now. I'm thinking jute or hemp straps so its not stiff & can be used. That's pretty traditional
yeah, hemp webbing would be pretty nice, has to be thin tho, nearly a ribbon
I'll see how complicated this gets as I'm going, I guess 😂 pick up my fur later today, start tomorrow
i won't be happy unless you learn how to hit a human head sized target panel with it tho
also, my mother tanned a fox one time, it's pretty sturdy leather... maybe half as sturdy as kangaroo
😂 there are some skillsets one should not advertise
i definitely can't do it well, i have not practiced very much, but it would be a fun sport, plenty of rocks around, easy to make a target, and just to train the hand-eye to do the target in this unaugmented medium would be good preparation before getting a lever to make it really sting
anyway... it gives me some ideas for some sport to do in my current condition that would be actually pleasant... just gotta find a steel disc i can use for the task and set it up somewhere i can safely fling rocks at it for half an hour every other day until i can hit it consistently
would be fun they said
also i am already happy because i can see the future
i made this little row of ammunition after a local stray dog got too close to my residence last week... been meaning to polish up my skills... pitching actual heavy lead weights of similar size at full arm speed actually can be pretty painful to be hit by if they strike right in the face, if not downright straight punch in the face style, sometimes TKO style
if WW3 is upon us then einstein's "sticks and stones" might be essential for the early stages of the dark time
Please share a picture of your target when you get that set up
for sure.. there is abandoned metallic items all over the place i could choose from, i'll do it soon, and make a collection of small rocks to practise with
it could be especially good for those times where i'm so mad at someone saying something super dumb on nostr that i am lost for words
in such times, probably pegging some rocks at a piece of scrap metal with a trollface painted on it could be quite good
