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.

Check it out:



Kudos to JoergSprave for the video.

Daryl Dixon with crossbow

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.

A very sexy Japanese zombie

I love cosplayers, especially those who can do it right. The cosplayer below did it right a few different times by looking like a very hot zombie. Don't forget that Maria Ozawa also cosplayed a zombie.

Zombies and Gun Sales: Is there a connection?

There seems to be many people, at least in America, who are preparing for a zombie apocalypse.  Specifically, there are enough incidence of gun sales noticeably attributed to zombies.  Can you blame them?

Read the news excerpt below:
Pittsburgh can be said to be the birth place of the zombie phenomenon thanks to George Romero’s “Night of the living Dead,” which came out in 1968.

Since that film, there have been countless movies, books, comics, and TV shows surrounding the undead, and their popularity has increased exponentially in the last few years. As zombie presence rises in pop culture, real life gun sales are rising as well, and research shows the two are related.
