I walk you through building a natural slingshot. I briefly cover superglue as a finish and we make a band set. I also briefly discuss my band tying jig.
I just stumbled on the video, glad i watched it, i have been wanting to make my own slingshot one day, so this was very helpful! Thanks for sharing your technique's!
New Subscriber here love the videos. Was wondering if you have a pdf for your slingshot template or did you modify it off of an existing one? Thanks keep the videos coming. Really enjoy the catch and cooks! Cheers!
I start with a sketch. Sometimes I trace something and I modify as I go until I find something I am making consistently then it gets traced on cardboard.
Dude that is freaking bad ass. Just getting into slingshots. Any one that you would recommend for a Newb? Keep the content coming man. Positive vibes my friend
You can't go wrong with a forked stick. Get some pre made band sets from simple-shot.com and go cut some forks of various widths from tip to tip on the fork. Shoot a bunch of them. There will be a certain width that works well for your anchor point. Once you have that figured out spend money on a slingshot... Or don't. A natural fork can do everything a fancy slingshot can.
I don't like shooting TTF, it's less accurate at distance. Band wear is the same in over the forks as it is on through the forks. Properly made bands break at the pouch regardless of the style of shooting.
Wrapping bands "around" post not through hand stretched for tying; 2 persons. In recollecting bands would last at least a year with lots of weekend shooting. Big rubber bands were like 1/16" thick x 5/8,3/4" wide. that's 70 years ago!!. @@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans
I have a question tho, after you apply the superglue you have to polish it, right? how you do that? cause I applied my superglue on my slingshot and it doesn't look like polished but maybe I have to polish it with something, but I don't know how to do it 😶
I'm not sure. I got it in a package deal from another shooter online. I just did a quick search and several medical supply places sell it in bulk sheets. Try that.
Hey man I tired to search for it but I couldn’t find any medical places that sells latex so if you can please put a link blow so I can buy some too brother Thank you🙏🏾
These are natural latex. .8 thickness cit at a 25-20 taper and 6.5 active length. To be honest they are overkill, the next set I make with this material will probably be at a 22-12 taper. I shoot 11 mm steel.
