As far as I can tell since re-discovering my slingshot and this forum I have made this sling journey in reverse!
My first phase was believing I NEEDED only to find a Custom Metal Cored Frame so I could shoot like a professional.
The second phase was thinking I was too good for a commercial slingshot so I snuck a couple of Pocket Predators into my quiver to enhance my shooting skills.
Phase three was my desire to make a sling as 'good as the pros'. This was a long phase. I still have ten fingers, a couple of nice frames, and a long list of stuff NOT to do.
My phase four was to try my hand at remodeling a sling instead of trying to design my own. It has been an enjoyable experience that I will keep dabbling with occasionally.
Phase five has been the birth of the Natural. Plain and simple. Why didn't I start here? Right, is was 'just' a Natty!
Today was phase six. I have denied myself the ease and simplicity of purchasing a 'do it all' frame because I thought I'd be taking the easy way out or that I'd become a sling sheep, or maybe worse!!
I like this frame! It does what I want it to do. The attachment clips are easy on older fingers. The frame fits my hand better than the XT I tried for a short time. When I drop it I won't weep if I scratch it.
I'm going to make this frame my backup shooter to whatever my chosen frame will be for the day/week/month. It is good to have a reliable backup shooter.
Thanks again to the Forum for the inspiration, guidance, and training. Also to my wife who just got a promotion and a raise and let me buy this Scout LT!!
Cheers, Mo
