Homemade Slingshot
Bushbow:
After making bows and arrows for years I thought it would be fun to try a slingshot. Very similar to archery, way easier to make, and I have plenty of small pieces of wood and leather. It is a blast to shoot. Plus it fits in my pocket. Picture and Video link below.

El Destructo:
Nothing like a Slingshot to bring out the Kid in you! Nice one
The Gopher:
i make slingshots and hutn with them as well. i know guys who won't go in the woods without one. i slingshot with a lead ball is lethal on any small game. I make mine from the crotches of trees as i think they are stronger. my favorite material is buckthorn, yes, that invasive, nasty crap that grows everywhere now, but it is a beautiful wood and makes a great slingshot.
Bushbow:
Gopher I agree with you on the Buckthorn, and that is a nice looking slingshot. The stuff reminds me of yew (looks wise). I made a bow out of it and it came out nice, although only 45 lbs. It seems hard to find a big enough stave for a bow.I also made a for slingshot after the monkey. It is from another invasive bush species, I think it is some kind of Holly, pic below.
HoBow:
That is cool! I was looking at them at BPS the other day and was wanting one....never though about making one ;D
