Funny but Deadly

[Deadly dave]

I searched the forum before posting and I found nothing so I thought I would share this..
In some States of Australia we can't own slingshot's And I am surprised that we are still allowed to throw stones

This Man is amazing....

Some nice concealable weapons for me to consider for Rabbit and small game hunting and My favorite would be this, What do you thinkShoot

That is a good item to have.

Hi Overlord thanks for the reply.. I did make it but changed the design so it looks like a child's toy when not in use

I do need to try different theraband lengths and tapers to find the power that I think its capable of, so far its a little under powered.

I have made mine with a draw length of 70cm and would like to mount a laser sight for more accuracy but not until I have the power and reliability to suit me.

Thanks for looking
Dave.

if you are looking at creating one that shoots "arrows", you might want to consider one of our street weapons here:

The problem with this is that you would be limited by the ammo that you carry.

With a slingshot, you can pick up anything (practically).

Another thing we use for slingshots is the Y branch of a guava tree (because it has good wood) and we use bands. (actually, kids build it here but it is quite powerful for hunting also)

I like the idea that you have shown OV and darts looks deadly Its a design that I will look into.
Thanks for the images.



Because the slingshot fork is removable I thought i would use it without the gun and I am happy with the performance so far Straight through a Coke can at 70 feet with a marble.

Would the latch be able to hold the band when it is stretched?

 

[Overlord]

Wow, that is impressive. With a little mod, you can take it out even further.

The one I showed you is quite accurate to about 25 yards. It is commonly used by gangs locally

If you use a pipe for the handle, darts can actually be stored there (I used to have one like that).

Just be careful with the one I showed you, you have to flick the bow hand on release otherwise, the arrow may embed itself in your hand.

Yeah no problem, there is a slight concave for the ball to rest in.

I do like the idea of being able to adjust the draw length on the gun and to be able to hold it there, although it could reduce the rubber life.
The fork stay's locked no matter where you draw it to because of the friction so there is no need for the groove

Yes no doubt Overlord lol

How about this idea from the slingshot channel, a bit safer maybe

Similar to the slingshots we make using the wood of the mango tree.

It looks like a spool of string like for bow fishing

 

[Deadly dave]

Its a stabilizer shock absorber, they are used on compound bows. By the way the Slingbow looks good OV.

Here is a Slingbow with a Hog kill

 

[Deadly dave]

I made the gun and I think its a Cracker I smashed a Bottle at 70ft with my second shot
