We made our own sling shots and inner tube band guns. The best inner tubes were the red ones from before they had synthetic rubber. Man I just dated myself.

I'd take the gun and shoot the other six weapon holders. Pick up the magic wand and vanish. But that's just me.

They were rare in my day . But cherished. They stretched further snapped back harder and didn't have to be so wide. Best thing till surgical tubing came along.

You missed what we used. We got long bamboo poles and shucked the leaves. They were our lances. I think lances are to be used to stab other riders with but we swung them about and pounded on each other trying to knock our opponent off their horse.

Yes! My brother and I had quarter horses. Most of the neighbor kids had horses too.
