Somewhere around here I have an old wristrocket. Need to look for it.

If you find it got some red Trumark tapered bands for it (carried at Sports Authority).
This thread got me hooked- http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/525308-Best-Slingshot?highlight=slingshot

As a boy growing up in a Sugar Mill, we used to make them from Y branches old tires inner tube and leather. We used stones or marbles for ammunition to hunt birds primarily squabs, this thread brought me back memories of tasty squab and rice dinners

I was going to break out the old folding wrist rocket for the Gathering. Lots of fun. There's a young guy at my work that just modded his to fire arrows and even added a laser for sighting.

Quite the fun toy with some real usefulness.

I bought a Truemark a few weeks ago for the BOB kit.
Haven't used it yet,but plan to when I go camping next.
My brother & I always had a sling shot as kids.
First the home made wooden ones with innertube bands,then wrist rockets.
I don't think we ever killed anything with one,but I plan on practicing with the Truemark
till I am proficient with it.
I can see a sling shot as a good foraging tool.

I've been thinking about making a plain ol' sling too.
Heck,it worked for David.......

Did you make that sling shot? I ordered one from a maker here on BF and expect delivery any day now.

Anyone else into sling shots???

Ordered it from a BF member-Bikermikearchery. Here's one my son and I made.

Made from a sheet of bullet proof wall lining-It was extra material from someone using it to line a safe-room. Cut it with a jig saw with metal cutting blade. It destroys wood blades. I'm guessing it's a fiberglass kevlar composition.
Just picked up some new blades so I'm going to make a couple more.

Mtnfolkmike has one of these that I have shot and LOVE it. I have been putting off getting one for some time, but I think I might have to finally do it.
