Quote from Steven on Aug 19^th, 2011, 8:42am:

Kind of like a sling. There are no dimensions; just make something that fits.

I'd probably start with a block of wood 8 or 9 inches long.
Maximum pull for propelling rubber .. probably in the neighbor hood of 2 to 2.5 feet
So how long to cut the rubber? : http://slingshotforum.com/topic/255-band-or-tube-length-how-to-calculate/page__h l__%2Bcalculate+%2Bband+%2Blength__fromsearch__1

Basically stretch and try till it feels right then cut a couple of bands/tubes

thank you steven, this helps a lot. its a very neat idea. i hope that regular slingshot surgical tubing will work though. i happen to have one handy from my younger days.
