I've tried to increase slingshot power using forearm support rather than wrist support. (definately that is a must) Then i switched from 2 rubber tubes #1 to 4 rubbertubes #1,but it found it too hard to pull i wasn't comfort with it, and too many rubber around, then i increased tube gauge to #2 and #3 wichfinally i feel it's a good balance between the power it gives and draw comfort/stability. Next step woud be to advance the slingshot fork in order to use longer rubbertubes at their full draw, as it looks in Lobohunter's pic, but i don't know how will afect this to stability of the grip, or may be improoved support is needed (may be an arm support or even a shoulder gun-like stock) i've designed even side horizontal fork with a bow-like grip and arm support, but it's in paper stage, and i would need to build a prototype to see if it works, but i think it won't worth the effort cause it's more or less the same thing with a different shape. Also i'm planning a sort of crossbow but using rubberbands instead the bow... a mis of crossbow and spearfishing gun, slim enough to handle it in the cayak or use it within a lot of bush/trees intended tol fire crossbow-like bolts. Wat's your idea of a "compound" slingshot?
