He's a guide on Reelfoot Lake in Obion County, a territory which he describes as “wolfish” and adds that when you're there you know you've been someplace, “yeah man, and howdy.” Mr. Slingshot started using the weapon when he was 10. His skill has increased with the years. He shoots every kind of game with it— that is almost every kind south of an elephant. Ducks, - rabbits, quail, squirrel, grouse, all fall before the trigger of his unusual cannon. He likes to use a shotgun, too, but not often.
