DIY Video: How to make a sling shot-bow hybrid for zombie hunting

For the Daryl fans out there, here's an interesting video of making a sling shot-bow hybrid to shoot arrows for zombie hunting. Sure Daryl uses a crossbow, but it seems bulky to carry around and takes time to reload for shots. Meanwhile, this sling shot-bow looks compact enough that it can be carried without burdening yourself. And its much easier to reload once fired. Though I don't think it's faster to reload than a conventional bow. Still, using arrows to kill zombies is much quieter than firing guns. And we know that loud noise attracts zombies. That's a no no.

Kudos to JoergSprave for the video.



Daryl Dixon carries his crossbow slung on his back. It's a typical crossbow complete with a cocking stirrup at the front of the weapon. Below is an illustration of how crossbows are loaded with bolts and arrows. A foot is inserted in the cocking stirrup while the string is pulled up for a shot.



IMO, this is a lot of work in between shots especially if you're facing a horde of zombies. A bow, not necessarily the above sling shot-bow hybrid, may still be the best quiet weapon for shooting zombies.
