they are ridiculously easy to make. Probably take you the better part of an afternoon to round up the raw materials and put one together with a few hand tools.
A laser sighted wristrocket. I shot a folding wristrocket A LOT when I was a teenager. I got pretty accurate with it, and it definitely could do some damage. I used to pull that thing so far back, it went through bands, which were actually latex tubing, pretty fast though.
I made a great one as a kid, went in to the woods with hand-saw and walked around till I found the prefect 'Y' shaped branch, made the band from a section of bicycle inner tube and the pouch from a piece of leather from the local shoe mender, who did enquire as to it's end use? I said it was to make a finger puppet with... he just replied that it looked the right size for a sling shot
just get the $10 wal-mart version, then get a bunch of the marbles from the kids toy department.
You'll have so much fun shooting water filled gallon milk jugs that you'll forget that you're not a kid any more. Good fun for the whole family....and cheap *reusable* ammo.
Saunders Double Eagle if you plan to hunt with it at all. I don't know if there's one more powerful. I'm pretty sure you can still get them and replacement bands for them.
I never really thought about it, but I haven't seen a band slingshot in years. I think they are actually illegal to sell here in NY, if you can believe that.
"Word to the wise - wear eye protection! Just imagine one of those little rubber hoses letting go at full draw..."
When I was a kid I had a 'wrist rocket' slingshot and one of the bands came off while I had it at full draw and snapped against my right ear! It was VERY painful. My friends couldnt stop laughing!
now I want one. Watch... I'll go to Walmart or Kmart tomorrow to pick one up for a couple bucks and a whole bag of either marbles or the steel balls they sell for them.
