DIY WORLD CLASS SLINGSHOT: Cherry Trad Natty Build

[@Matthew_Dubroq]

You're not winging it, you're making art. You make beautiful (and functional) pieces of art. Love the vids man!!

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

I'm glad you like them. Winging it is a technical term for making art and occasionally destroying it. 😂

A luxury tutorial, you learn a lot and it is appreciated. I missed the hunting and cooking that I enjoy watching so much. Very grateful for this video, Claudio is my friend and I send you greetings from Argentina.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks . There is much more hunting and cooking to come. Season is just getting underway!

[@Webshooterslings]

Love cooking with cherry and stuff made out of it. Beautiful build bud, thanks for sharing that!

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks for watching!

[@MadGunny]

Nice, I’m excited to watch this. Grouse season is about to open in Idaho so I’ve been binging slingshot videos and shooting like a madman. Wish I could dial into your kind of range and accuracy tho, that would certainly help haha

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Nothing special about me. Just a lot of practice and time in the woods. You can certainly do it! Good luck this season!

Looks lovely man, I'm assuming that's KCB pink bands? They are my favourite at the moment, prefer them to snipersling green and yellow

Yes they are. I also like them very much. I catch hell from my buddies though 😂

Great! I wish you luck.

[@ワシもいろいろやってみる]

@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigansExcuse me but I have questions.How do you decide fork width?10 inches for 20 yards.For example 15 yards, 25 yards?Depend on reference point and ancor point?Every slingshots are deferent?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

@@ワシもいろいろやってみる all my forks are 4 inches wide. That works great for my anchor point, and my draw. The ideal width will be different for each person. I adjust the elevation of the frame at full draw to adjust impact point.

[@p1nesap]

Nice wood & shape. Are those zip ties to lash the bands?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

No I wrap the bands in a semi stretchy material called crystal string.

[@p1nesap]

@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans Cool I think I found it online, jewelry bracelet string made in Japan?

Beautiful contents, I'm building one in olive wood with osage inlay from your design, it's turning out really beautiful. Can I shoot .6 band 11 ammo? If so, with what taper? Thx 🎯🖐

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Awesome. Find a way to show me! I don't go thinner than .65. for bands and even that is only on exceptionally zippy brands.

[@GianniDaversa]

@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans of course, as soon as I finish, thank you very much. 🖐

[@MrJeffb51]

I looked on ebay for one of your slingshots and didn't find anything. I was considering buying one of your favorites. Please advise me. Thanks.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Yeah my eBay has been barron for a bit. People in Alaska have been buying them up before I get them posted. Christmas rush I guess. I'll have a few posted next week.

[@greenthumbh]

very nice work :D ...problem for me is that slingshots are forbidden here in denmark

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Tragic

[@GaryOfthegardens]

Amazing how you show the obvious stuff and skip over the band material, pocket material and installation. Well done 👏 👏 👏

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks! There are literally hundreds of band tying tutorials and wrap and tuck tutorials out there. I have a couple too. The pouch is leather. The bands are KCB .7.🤡

[@usernamemykel]

Band length question, please, re: band length for face anchor draw: Given, a 28" draw, and finds that the Duraband stretches 4.5:1. If one divides, 28/4.5 = 6.22 This 6.22 plus a little for fork tip and pouch, say a total of 7.25, ends up being too short when drawn. The slingshooter finds that 8.75-9" of the a Duraband, not, 7.25", is the length and power he desires. What's wrong with this picture - how come the math didn't work out? Many thanks!!! Faithful subscriber

[@usernamemykel]

BTW - the above references non-tapered bands - would it mke a difference? Thanks!

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

My guess is you are using more band on the process of tying than you might think. I run an active length of 6.5 incheson all my bands. But I cut the latex to 8.0 inches. I tie my pouch then measure my 6.5 from the pouch and mark the band with a marker so I know where the front edge of the fork should be. I usually only have a little bit to cut off. I used to shoot straight cuts in the winter and used this same strategy with success. I know that does not answer your mathematical question but it seems to work for me consistently.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Or your latex could have a very low stretch ratio. Some maxes out much faster than others. GZK black hits a "wall" at around 480% stretch. Whereas, sniper sling yellow in the same thickness will stretch well past 600%.

[@usernamemykel]

@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans Mike, which thickness is that ? I use Snipersling yellow in .6

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

@@usernamemykel I use .7 latex mostly.
