http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/search.do?productCode=HYPDOG Just bought one - fantastic. I actually made my dogs tired - something I haven't seen in a long time.
thifthered!!!!!!!!!, i just remembered something to do with this, shoot it at someones head and scream HEADSHOT!!!!!! in the UT voice.
But lacking the coolness factor of a honking massive slingshot with ammo rack included! Plus, I can't aim with a sling to save my life
I would like to make or see a trailer for that game. The problem with me having one of those is that I would just shoot the dog all the time.
Easily goes over 200ft - and you have complete control over where it goes. I also have a "chuckit" - goes almost as far, but you don't have very much control with it.
Quick little update - I can shoot a ball straight up in the air and count slowly to 5 or 6 before I hear it bounce. (I live on an acre, so little danger of it leaving the yard.) The dogs just sit there looking confused for a few seconds until they hear the bounce and then they take off running in a race to see who can find it first... In regards to a sling - a sling takes skill and control, this doesn't. Also, it was mentioned that a sling could shoot further - I'm not sure that's the case as tennis balls don't have much mass. It's sort of like throwing a wadded up piece of paper - I'm sure a sling could hurl a rock much further than this, but not so sure about a tennis ball. The dogs and I are loving this thing.
I bought mine in the US at costco for very cheap - there are several websites in the US that sell them. I only posted a UK website link in honor of our hosts....
