In this video, I’m testing the flight characteristics of my different designs of shepherds sling Ammo to get a better understanding of how shape and weight distribution in the projectile may effect its flight and performance.
Shapes tested in order of video
41gram hollow point-hand shaped Clay cast in cement, had a bit of a wobble and may have been a touch on the lite side. Perform:Ok

83gram hollow point-hand shaped Clay cast in cement, crazy wobble, but think it is do to misaligned center axis for a good stable spin. Want to explore machine turned shapes with perfect center axis? Performance:good need some tuning.

Fluted spheroids 71,85 grams-hand shapes Clay cast in cement, flight was ok, went predictable to point of aim when I got good releases. The 65gram shape was a little more compact and seemed a bit better out of the 2 shapes. Will look into further.

Ravioli of Doom-hand shaped Clay cast in cement. this shape was inspired by 1 I saw on slinging.org that had been made of brass and lead. The lead was the center mass with a sharpened bronze or brass double D shaped center with edges on either end that could be sharpened. The shape looked fun to try and make and see how it performed, which was great, will definitely be exploring this one more.

Torpedo shape-hand shaped Clay cast in cement. Performed as I thought, can definitely work as good hunting ammo.

Prolate Spheroid-shaped with a sand filled ballon formed into this shape and cast in cement, worked very well. Have been using this shape for a while.
