Bow Style Slingshot from Les's new show

Thanks everyone for the comments. I actually gave that bow to my neighbor's kid today since he had so much fun with it. I have about 30 inches braided (3 plait) so far for my next one which will have a 62 in string and a draw weight of 40 lbs. I've already braided the pouch out of natural fibers and I'm gonna wax it so it holds its shape better. I have decided on hornbeam for the bow and plan to cut one over the weekend. That first bow was fun but I'm really excited about the one I'm working on now since it will be made with no man made products, not even a steel knife. I'll take the tree with a stone celt, split it with antler wedges, and shape it with a piece of heave Ft Payne chert with two edges on it for both planing and cutting.
