Three unique slingshots: Beauty, Powerhouse, Micro

[JoergS]

I wanted to further enhance my "Cutlass" design, with a solid plate against hand slaps. I also looked at the way Bill Hays stabilized the grip with a backwards directed "hook", and liked that idea a lot.

The result is a slingshot that is basically a "Phoenix", but with a front and back part laminated to it. The front part holds the shield, the back part the hook. Both parts thicken the handle and give it the "Cutlass" palm swell.

I also added a "Baumstamm" style lanyard.

This is a great shooter.

Pretty cool design, I like that hook guard on the back.

Good explanation on the video.

You're using a .8" ball on the big one? Dayum...

The little one is cute.
