The slingshot, on the other hand, is not indestructible and will shatter after frequent usage. This makes it a poor choice for hunting, but it can be useful for shooting birds' eggs or small animals. The string used to pull the stone along behind it can be bought at any store and can be used again. There are no rules against using other materials to make a slingshot, but they tend to be less effective than the real thing. A wooden slingshot can be made by any adult in your town who knows how to make bows. It takes 10 minutes to make and costs 100 bells (or 1 bell per shot). A plastic slingshot can be found in the Trash Pile and is free to use. It can only shoot balls, but they go far! Each one shoots out a ball that rolls down a hill and stops when it hits a tree or building. There are 200 trees in Town Center so you'll need to use them all up to get rid of everything. A metal slingshot can be found in the Junk Heap and is also free to use. It has more power than the other types of slingshots and can shoot feathers too. These are used to hunt birds.
