. Two things I love, and also have a lot of! 
Crazy Canuck
, I stand in awe. I don’t suppose you have a favorite? That would be a figure 8 rappelling device for us Yanks…Here's one made out of a Figure 8 abseil device
No favourite. I like shooting them all depending on mood.Mr Canuck sir,
What is the benefit of that style vs those with arm braces?
I've got all sorts of stuff Jon, big fat round tubes, chunky square bands, looped tubes, slim round tubes, and all sorts of flatbands, which were originally made from surgical latex. There's new band rubber coming out all the time, but I started out with Theraband Gold. You need to match the bands or tubes to the ammunition you're using (I use various diameter steel balls, plastic balls, or clay balls, depending on circumstances). There are some cool Tod Cutler sling videos on the TubeWhats the rubber you use JB?
I had a go at making a sling..of the David n Goliath style a few years ago....got some power....and learnt to duck...
You should definitely go for it.
Very cool
There are lots of small makers and larger companies selling made-up band sets, or the materials to make your own, if you do an online search
You were definitely first in my thoughts MikeI almost feel like I was paged to this thread
Interesting slingshot Mike, and how you've attached the tubes
I still haven't used a Pickle Fork Mike, I'd be interested to know what your thoughts on them are
Fantastic pics, and it's great to see you at work my friend!
That's an interesting style I think this may be the only pic I have of me plinking 
More great slingshots Mike, are you making them?
I've got the one you sent me right next to me now (bit of a pigeon problem at the moment)!
Two beauties Mike
Wow!Oh, and I'm sure I have a couple more
I have a few more, but think I got the initial rush out of my system
Great knives too
I should have spotted that!
LOL!I have a very funny story involving one of those - sadly I can’t tell it here without revealing aspects of my past life I swore I would never share publicly on line.
It’s probably not as funny as I think it is anyway. I suppose I could try it out on my youngest daughter and see…
I used to know the SBS guy who invented the 'Star Abseil', a joke, which was subsequently incorporated into training! Definitely
Mine was a Barnett Black Widow
I had a lot of fun with it, but despite their relatively simple looks, the modern slingshots are much more accurate, as well as easier to use, you can get really good, very fast Nice findI might have found this sooner, but I was sure it was bright aluminum.
Hey! SlingSHOTS! Not ShotSLINGERS!
Lots of good onesI've posted this in the guardians thread but may as well put it here. Wrist rocket I spent countless hours with a a kid. I've got a hankering for a proper pocketable slingshot now. I'll have to look around and see what I can come up with. Any recommendations on a solid piece?
I like the Fowler Sparrow Simpleshot are making. It's really simple, and a lot of fun to shoot with 
Fantastic!
A couple of years ago, SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) mentioned that she wanted a slingshot. Naturally, I decided to make one for her. I procured the bands and pouch and commenced searching for just the right stick.
Then I realized why she wanted it.
The project is on indefinite hold until I'm willing to be her target of choice.
Yes, but you can also buy slingshots where you don't need to tie the bands, such as this one that Mike gifted me, which uses Simpleshot's Occularis system
You could do a lot worse than check out the Simpleshot channel
Frame
Yes, that's one way to shoot them (Over The Top - OTT)
It's just an attempt to follow the "Modern traditional" trend. What i've pictured is a slingshot with some additional features which make it work differently but serve the same purpose. A "modern traditional" slingshot. A bit noisy, i concede.
