I am a little confused at this point. This morning I decided to see what others had come up with, with regard to Joerg's legolas design. After doing a search on forums I came up with basically nothing.

Now I fully understand that this is called the Slingshot forum and therefore has to do with slingshot but I assumed that since this is Joerg's forum there would naturally be info about designs and such to do with the legolas designs too.

Am I using the search incorrectly?
Am I on the wrong forum?
Has no one else done any legolas designs?

I will be grateful if someone could shed some light on this for me.

In the meantime I have attached a picture of my legolas design.

Welcome!

Joerg's forum is still up I think. That said, I am glad your here. Welcome.

We look forward to seeing your progress. A lot of good has come from simple mistakes mingled with continued work.

I'll have to dig through my Sprave Playlist and find this Legolas. Looks fun.

As a collector of English language idioms, "I feel a right tit" takes the cake!

You have not blundered. As indicated by other forum members, you are welcome here. My observation is that as long as it is rubber powered, it is welcome here. Your innovative design (which, by the way is the cat's meow - or possibly the left tit?) uses rubber tubes - so is technically a sling-bow. Check out the sling-bow sub-forum here.

In the past, I spent way too much time arguing with digital know-it-alls on the archery forums. I suspect that your Legolas bow (and you) run the risk of being torn to shreds by a pack of virtual hyenas on the archery forums.

So, repeating myself (a privilege of age), welcome and looking forward to seeing more of your designs.

I have been following the Legolas since its inception and its beta testing by Toodys Workshop and others. IMHO it is valid and innovative. As for the Slingshot Channel? Joerg had to follow the money as any good business man should. I was a member for years but logged out when it started withering on the vine. As for blundering? I think not. I am always interested in any human/rubber powered system and I think many here are always good with something new. Welcome aboard!

Well that explains it! Thank you for clearing that up for me and please forgive my ignorance. I feel a right tit! Just shows you, never to old to make an idiot of yourself. I hope I didn't offend anyone.
"I feel a right tit".

Fella, once again you milked into the wrong forum... Hopefully, you were a gentleman and said "Thank you, mam".

THWACK!

For reasons known only to himself, Joerg named his Forum "theslingshotforum" when he left this one.
Don't know why he picked such an unusual name for a slingshot forum...

THWACK!

THWACK!

I have been working on integrating the technology I used in the legolas I've done into a slingbow so perhaps when I've done that I will have more to offer this community.
Don't forget about us, we're a needy bunch... ; )

THWACK!
