Homemade Slingshot
Stringman:
Grampa used to call em "bean flips". That brings back great memories as we would walk all over creation with a pocket full of gravel and one "in the chamber." Pestered every living thing that didnt scoot when we eyed it. Even killed a rabbit once, though I can't tell you how (gravel tends to go every way but straight.) As I grew older, we would use .36 lead balls and our consistency improved greatly. With good ammo, it wouldnt be hard to knock a bird outta the tree... Gives me an idea for the next elk hunt. Thanks Joe!!

Hey Scott, we have carried slingshots in our packs to Colorado elk hunting. Those crazy grouse make good targets...
Traxx:
BrianS....
Have you used Theraband before?
If so,how does this exercise band compare?
Or...
How is it compared to the tubes you are using?
Knoll:
Theraband is generally regarded as the cadillac of slingshot flat bands. They produce variety of strengths for the exercise/rehab trade with gold color being the strongest.
Thereband gold doubled flat bands are primo hunting bands.
Many shooters swear by tubes, but I couldn't get accurate with them.
Traxx:
I agree Knoll.
Thats what i use.I was interested how the Green compared.I did a little research and found,that the Green is theraband only a bit less resilient to stretch.
