...is Rufus Hussey of Asheboro, North Carolina (deceased in 1994), and his skill with the slingshot or bean shooter (as opposed to a sling or shepherd's sling which is the weapon whirled around the head ala David vs. Goliath, used before rubber was available) is astounding. He developed the skill as one of 13 children who had to help feed the family, but only his oldest brother was allowed to use the family shotgun, so Rufus learned to shoot the slingshot.
(I learned of this video from Greg's blog -- my buddy and a self-proclaimed redneck from Florida.)
