My first Slingshot
Apr 30th, 2012 at 9:47am  
Yesterday I made my first slingshot, I know its not the prettiest but it's really comfortable and it feels great.
I have no idea which wood it is made of but it's pretty light.

...  ...

...

I don't have any bands for it yet, thera band is pretty expensive here and I haven't found a good shop where I can buy it, hope to get it someday  Undecided

you can start by using lots of ordinary elastic bands.

hooked together and used many strands thick you'll be surprised how much power you can generate.

...

if you use the thickest ones you don't need too many.

this type are pretty good.
...

Most stationery shops sell them for very little money Smiley

Thanks for the tip CA, I already thought about doing that.

Btw, Pikaru is so nice to send me some of his bands that he used for therapy.
