hi all

love the OPFS concept and size

but hate the attachment method (fingers too inflexible ....for a wrap!)

mind sharing some ideas to mod it and make it even better for attaching bands?
(I am specifically looking for tube attachment mods...)

I was thinking of making a hole and fitting paracord - something like gypsy tabs /paratabs?

I would love to see what the community has come up with!

If you post some pictures of the master piece your working with it would e helpful.

A protective tube over your shooting band will prolong the life expectancy of your rubber. (No one wants to break any kind of rubber) :shhh:

Ive used leather gypsy tabs with tubes and flat bands and it cut down on hand slaps on a couple of my slings. It also cut down the tubes/flats getting twisted as much.

Lets me know what you come up with.

many thanks for the reply NSFC

not sure what I was thinking here would be a 'masterpiece' - but I reckon it is well worth a try

will make a rough laser cut on aluminium and post

tried it on a WASPS SLINGSHOTS THE IMP - and it is really good actually!

will let you guys know

Here's the best pic I have right now of the worm hole attachment. I have tabs attached to the frame through the first hole, but it's basically three holes that you thread the tubes through, starting from the target side of the frame. The last hole on this frame is smaller and slotted so you can stretch the tube and insert it. My avatar shows this frame with the tubes installed.

Get some smooth holes in the forks, Insert your tubes and slide in a steal ball in your rubber. Ive done this so I can pull the tubes straight, or Input the tubs and steal ammo/marble/bb/plastic bead from your nieces friend ship bracelet backwards and pull the tubes over the fork tips. The 2nd method makes for a slower more complicated reload because we have to position the tubes evenly over the forks. With the 2nd rubber attachment I put protective covering on the shooting tubes. This will prolong the rubbers life span.

Wooo! That was a mouth full, I can breath now. I should go check my blood pressure! Or maybe not I kind of enjoy all the colors I see when I stand up, and the dizziness. Dont people pay for drugs that make them feel like this and all I have to do is type a paragraph with out breathing! and my method is FREE! :screwy:
