Hello, i am new to the site and fairly new to slingshots. I have made several of them but they were all "naturals" none have been boardcuts. I like the ergo designs i have seen while browsingthe site but can't find any patterns. does anyone have an available "ergo" pattern? thanks, Dan.

Here's some you can use.
They should be coming up actual size.
Just print them off... take a pencil and blacken the backside of the printout.... Tape the printout down to the board you want to cut.. trace along the black line, transferring the outline to the board... then cutout, round off... and go have some more fun shooting them!

This is a standard type ergo

This one puts the wrist in a more comfortable position for aiming over the corner of the top fork in a butterfly type hold

This one puts the wrist in a more comfortable position while lining up the bands vertically

This one is a more radical angle for side shooting

Thank you sir! they printed off small though, only about 2.75" across the outside of the forks. What should this dimension be and i can just enlarge the copies, thanks again, Dan.

I keep notebooks around all the time to put down drawings and other ideas for all sorts of things, I've got probably 200 full ones stored away in bins... but when I need to put something online I use the JASC Paintshop Pro program... super easy and intuitive to use.

Thanks a lot guys... it's not about me, it's about the expansion of our little hobby. If I can come up with a few interesting ideas I'm more than willing to share as I don't really have any desire to get into the slingshot selling area... to much work for to little money!
