Homemade Slingshot
Bushbow:
Alot like shooting a bow, fits in your pocket, and more fun than should be allowed. There are a couple of good slingshot forums with lots of info to get you started. I have only been into it about 3 weeks. I almost done with my third one.
Marc St Louis:
There was a guy that used to come to PA that made his own slingshots, said he used heavy duty surgical tubing. Used his for hunting all the time and even claimed to have killed a Deer with his hunting slingshot, shot it right in the head. His name as Chris Tindal, went by the handle Bowkin
The Gopher:
my friend and i chronoed his custom wrist rocket shooting a lead ball at just over 200 fps, that would sure give ya a headache!
JW_Halverson:
Gopher, what was the size of the lead ball? .490 for a .50 cal? .350 for a .36 cal? I would love to plug those numbers in to the calculator to figure out the energy in that shot!
The Gopher:
i'm not sure, he pours his own lead shot for slingshots...now that's being committed. It wasn't as big as a 45 or 50 cal. if i had to take a guess at what size it was i would say they were about 3/8" diameter. I can measure a few when i get home tonight.
