Well, the "H" requires welding equipment and skills. So it is not easy for an average person! It is my most powerful slingshot, more than 70 Joules of energy. That is much more than a BB gun does (air guns do 4 to 30 Joules, at the most).

My strongest slingshot ever (the "H" achieved 72 Meters per second with 30 Gramm bullets. That is 78 Joules, almost as much as a .22 bullet from a pistol. But you need heavy bullets, the speed of rubber is limited. More than 80 Meters per second is noz possible, even with very light bullets.
@Slingshotchannel12 жыл бұрын
In order to draw out strong rubber, the slingshot must be designed right. Grip comfort, wrist strain, efficient attachment and frame stability is crucial. As far as the rubber goes, I have a band manual (free pdf) and even a band dimension calculator on my website, check out the FAQ at slingshotchannel com.

I welded the H from steel rods, from scratch. The metal balls are iron, not steel, and have been bought on ebay, for about 2 Euros a piece. They already come threaded, built to your order. Earlier, I used ball bearings, those are cheap, but you can't drill through them and welding is difficult.
@Slingshotchannel15 жыл бұрын
Stu, flat bands are faster and therefore more powerful than tubes. I think they have less inner friction than tubes, that's why. But they are harder to make and also they break earlier than tubes. No such thing as the perfect solution!

If you aren't as strong as I am, then you would have to use weaker bands. Still, the power would be remarkable, you'd be surprised. My slingshots don't have a huge draw force, about 50 lbs is maximum. Most people can pull 50 lbs easily, bows often have 70 lbs or more. But you need a powerful grip, as you pull the pouch with just the thumb and index finger.

The "V" uses tubular rubber. It lasts longer, but is slower. Even the "H" can not really achieve much more than 300 fps, but that is no problem because you just use heavy bullets. Those have lots of energy even at a "slow" speed. My heaviest bullets are .91" lead balls.

The tapering greatly enhances the power, because there is less weight at the end of the bands (the pouch side). For the other issues, why don't you register at the slingshotforum? I am a moderator there.

You have some very interesting exploration on draw length and band distribution. personally i think the 'T' design will yeild more accuracy. the ball slingshot was also very interesting in that is distributes the power to where it is needed most. the 'H' is definitely a standout model, since it allows a longer draw distance. the grip for the 'H' seems to stem from the base of the hand. perhaps you may look at a 'U' slingshot where the draw distance extends below the arm from the elbow.
