What happened to Boxotruth?

[Daisy Cutter]

boxotruth.com was a terrific site for practical demonstrations of ballistics like thru sheetrock etc.

Totally vanished. Even archive.com has almost nothing on it.

Anybody know why it was taken down?

Thanks

I just went there and it was fine. Well, except for being smeared with ads. Thank you Clearly.

Amazing! It came back!

That'll learn me to not just type in (the wrong) domains.....

Thanks

I particularly liked his recent review of slingshots. For many years I chased cats out of my back garden using "crazed" marbles that would shatter on impact with almost anything. I don't think I ever hit a cat, I'm not that good with one, but it got to the point where all I had to do was see one digging up my tulip and iris bulbs (what is with cats and doing that?) and open the back door and they would run away.

My slingshot was a "Wrist Rocket" similar in design to the one he could not get any chrono readings with. Interestingly enough, the slingshot was bought in the State of New York while I lived there, and I used it for several years, until a cop friend of mine noticed it hanging on my garage wall and pointed out that it was illegal in NY State. I looked up the relevant law and found that my friend was correct, and I also dropped by several sporting goods and outdoor stores and found that ALL of them had them for sale.

So the old slingshot has traveled with me from Ny to IL to TX and still sits in a drawer in the workbench, with the rubbers completely shot from pure neglect, and I want one of those "Y fork" jobs to replace it, but since I have no real use for it . . .

I'll ask my wife to give it to me for Christmas.
