Hiya,
What other 'hobbies' did y'all get into during your younger years? Potentially damaging ones with sharp or pointed things like knives maybe, or other stuff like that or maybe the crossbow?. BB guns and darts are ok too. RC planes, go carts, trains, cars. and the like is fine and whatever else members have been 'enthusiastic' about in der yout. Photography, comic books of some type. There's room for blowing up stuff using interesting methods (use with discretion).
If I may give an example from when I was 12-13 years old that involved acquiring the Chief Drowning Bear bullwhip. Damn place was always putting ads with pics in the Boy Scout magazines and I couldn't last.
Initially, and that part took a while getting through, I gave myself a pretty rough ride. Welts on my back, neck ear and arms, plus something breaking the speed barrier is flicking its tongue all over me is never good. Very colorful however!
Finally got so's no more marks at all and I still remember a couple basic moves with the cracks sounding ok, not that I can use em. Heh, I still have an old 10 footer that mighta kilt me if I'd started with it.''
Any thoughts or items are welcome, including slingshots of course,
Martin
