Get the Hays, catty, impervious to fork hits. It's bullet, bomb, acid, apocalypse proof.
**** it...
i recently brough a 6 strand trophy slingshot off hawk, very nice catty with alot of power and a great price also. i found my 8mm steel were just wasting the energy the 6 1845 tubes provided so i started using heavier ammo untill i ended up with a 7/8' marble, a massive round no doubt. problem is i wasnt fully used to the grip and hadnt got comfortable with it which ended up in my getting a fork hit and it bounced off my hand aswell (my fault not the slingshots) i noticed a little bit of cracking but it seemed mainly the varnish, i then got another 2 fork hits in roughly the same place despite holding differently. on the third i noticed a massive f**king crack that ran right up the fork (again this is with the 7/8' marble) after a little wobble one side of the fork came off. rather annoying. so that means im down to a zinc alloy clone for now with the 6 strand trophy out of action. however i do now have all the tools and materials (minus varnish/linseed/etc) to make myself a natural so i guess that is the next task, just annoying to have destroyed a catty within days of recieving it =\

Hmmm... Darrell, when I read this I was a little incredulous so I ran downstairs and took a few shots with clay balls and voila! I had thought that the fact that you were putting a twist in the bands would throw the shot off, but no. It didn't. I shot maybe 10 rounds that way and 10 rounds my regular way at about 18 yards. Your way was better. It's too dark now to see, so I will be experimenting some more later. Interesting. Thanks for posting that.When pouch is pulled to shooting position it is always at a quarter turn so the pouch is on its side not straight up and down. It could act like riflings in a barrel I dont know. I dont get what is called fliers and I attribute this because of the positive spin on the ammo.
Don't forget Hogan Castings.Get the Hays, catty, impervious to fork hits. It's bullet, bomb, acid, apocalypse proof.
You can also get one of my designs... Vergo with universal forks, Hathcock w/standard or universal forks, Predator standard fork, Badger BB shooter w/universal forks, Tex Classic w/universal forks and soon the Ranger w/universal forks... or you can get other's designs... or one of the classic designs from Hogan Castings... done up in different metals... all of them extremely fork hit damage resistant.

When Darrell started talking bout rifeling the barrel of his slingshot I tryed shooting this way and it worked for me so been doing it ever since.
Ok Day, You left a vital part of the equation out.
That's all.
That's all.
Ok Day, I cant shoot Gangstahhh Monkey Grip or Soft, so some things are just not for some people. Perhaps there should be a Slingshot Clinic for those of us who need a little xtree.
My 2 cents are: It is all in the pouch and release. Glass "slides" very easy and can get off center from the get go. I also don't care for the eco impact of broken glass bits if they do break.
