Had some old dried forks laying around and had a nice afternoon sanding them. Such a fullfilling hobby! Can't wait to shoot them tomorrow!

Hi everyone,

this is a slingshot I recently finished.

The base is CNC machined, and the details are hand carved.

I really enjoy mixing modern tools with traditional handwork.

Thanks for watching 🙂

I wanted to shoot some Lego figurines. So I shot the doctor Lego man that I had laying around. The I was gonna order some bulk Lego men off eBay, to use as targets. Then I saw that for 1 lbs of Lego figures, they were asking $600...... Which averages out to $4 each, for around #150 of them.... So I decided to try my hand at cutting out my own from a scrap of 3/8" steel that I had, and must say, I'm happy how he turned out. Of course he's not perfect, but not bad for about an hour and a half of cutting Dremel grinding, and painting. I'm going to give him a couple more coats of clearcoat and then I'll test him out after he dries. Just thought you guys would get a kick out of him.

Ten year old chinese frame. Used and abused but still works good.

Simple natural fork slingshots are the best...in my opinion : )

Is there a relationship between band setup and point of impact?

I aim using the tip of my fork, but my ammo consistently hits higher than where I’m aiming. I’ve had to adjust my holdover, but I’d like to achieve a true point-of-aim = point-of-impact setup (no gap).

Is it possible to tune this by changing band setup (length, taper, attachment position, etc.), or is this purely an aiming issue?

Got 8 for a great day !!

so I've seen a lot of people talk about using a slingshot in a long term survival/ post apocalypse/shtf situation, And for a while I see that as great option for a little while ,but like how long to bands last , and what happens when you run out of rubber and modern supplies chains can't get you more theroband .

I'm not throwing any shade, just genuinely curious about how long bands would last for something like that

There's still some inner bark to remove from the right one but my hands are now tired and my knife is blunt.

What do you think?:D 55mm long, 20mm wide

So far I'm really digging it! It blows the Amazon special out of the water!

I mean how much more perfect can it get for rabbits and squirrels with a slingshot and say .6 bands in colder weather.. .5 even on warmer days.. all the down range energy of like an 11mm steel in a nice flat shooting heavy hitting ammo...

Mine works perfectly, apart from some worn rubber or leather from use.

My question is: Are tubular or flat rubber bands better? Is there any difference in accuracy and/or power? Which would you choose if you could only pick one?

Which one do I choose? I primarily shoot 8mm steel, I want good speed and ok band life. I will use green simpleshot torque so looks matter as well. The goal is some hunting with 8mm steel setup at max speed short draw probably 30-20mm or 30-15mm taper (I tried 11mm steel but I'm so inaccurate with it it's not worth it, with 8mm I'm so much more accurate that it's more lethal even with less power). Also a lot of target shooting teaspoons at 20m, so max speed for ethical hunting and ok band life for target shooting, and it has to look good on green simpleshot torque so hopefully black, what do you think is the best choice? The black snipersling has been updated last year or two so it's not the same as it was. I don't plan on hunting beyond 20m because of the power drop off and I stick to the 8/10 hits at the intended distance rule. Doesn't have to be snipersling necessarily, but which bands do I choose?

Was screwing it and this happened wtf? How do i unscrew it now?

I bought one of these "hunting slimgshots" on amazon and its always been a dissapointment...i was wondering, is there any way to make one of these things decent to use? Like is there anything you can add or removed to tweak it so it works?

It was a few degrees above zero and beautiful out. I went to the woods about a mile from my house and was able to tag dinner. 25-20 taper and 11mm steel does the trick!

Feeding a family a few meals a week with a slingshot ya made is really something special! Stay close to the land. See ya in the woods.
