I only recommend hunting small game for food with a slingshot — rabbits, squirrels, fowl, etc. Most experienced slingshot hunters agree it’s not wise to shoot at game from more than 10 to 20 yards, and it’s a good idea to have a hunting dog with you in case you injure an animal. In fact, many slingshot hunters carefully research effective setups and ammo for killing game as cleanly as possible. Keep in mind that the most accurate slingshots often feature flat bands.
