slingshots/catapults
Knoll:
2nd one is a natural. Made by someone else. Have tried naturals several times and not been pleased. ;)
Thanks bj.

This was what I came up with. Made it from a piece of oak from an old church pew. Credit card-size mini side-shooting light-weight lefty for plinking and tree-stumping. One day I'll re-band it with therabands but for now its really good fun and fits in my jeans back pocket

I do! And detailed instructions how to build them, that a reasonably sharp fifth grader can follow! It's all on google drive...Is there a good way to share google docs on here?
Stick and Knoll, great looking slingshots! I used to be a fair hand with one back in my college days, and I'm getting the old skill back chasing deer off my hay bales...

That looks kind of awkward to hang on to compared with the old forked stick. Is there something I'm missing here?

Chained rubber bands will do the job.
