These photos show the progression of a few of my early Shooting Stars. I don't own any early ones anymore.

These are great! I wonder if this thread can be moved to vintage slingshots?

It's marvelous to see the transition from pretty normal OTT fork tips to to pegs, to ramps.

Arm brace. If I understand correctly, the Shooting Star was the basis for the Saunders Wrist Rocket Pro:

The pin braces or the wrist supports?

Awesome shooters Tex. I really like the ramp idea. That’s got to make it very accurate. Tournament winners for sure.

Very cool to see the evolution of a design! I love it!

 

[StringSlap]

Those are super cool!

Do you pretty much always shoot double bands?

Do you pretty much always shoot double bands?

Yes I do! For the last couple of years, I shoot mostly Saunders Black Black Mamba™ bands because of testing and they last so long!
