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.

Coming over the prong with the band you must get lots of ware on the band. Route around outside of posts and tie like pocket.
@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans8 ай бұрын
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

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.

Beautiful sling shot brother, I shoot 5/16 steel, what’s the best taper you would recommend for that size?
@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans6 ай бұрын
I'm not sure on a taper for 5/16. I would start with 23/15 and adjust accordingly.

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 😶

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.
