>>1393259I'm sorry, but you really have no clue what you are talking about in any regard. You've not been plinking very much and your ignorance of both safety & personal injury with using a slingshot shows. Also, for joules, you need the ammo to make contact with the target at the killing energy which means you need your slingshot to be far more powerful. If you want 20 joules, on target minimal to kill a rabbit, you'll need around 162 joules coming out of the slingshot. Then you'd be able to kill rabbits within 30 feet. Less energy from the slingshot means less distance. The drop off is quite fast. If you are hunting, 25-30 feet will probably be your closest shot, meaning you'll need more energy from the slingshot to make humane kills at further distances. Slingshot hunting ammo is normally 9mm-12.55mm steel balls which is only 3.6 to 8.4 grams.
