Sort of funny that its called primitive weapons seeing as the slingshot is a fairly modern invention.

That ring slingshot number 8 looks nice kind of like it's up to the job but others with their extra long forks?
I think they must be heavy on the wrist and difficult to get accurate or am I wrong on accuracy of long forks?
My slingshots had always VERY short forks because I couldn't get the feel and accuracy with a long fork catty I tried once. Does anyone think long forks are less accurate/more difficult to get accurate with or is it just me?

I share the same opinion about long handles and long forks on a shooter. I find it to be excess and unnecessary and to the point of being cumbersome but that is my opinion by experience. Others like bigger is better and cant shoot with minimal type shooter. We are all unique in what will work for each one of us. My PFS shooter is 1/4 inch in thickness and 2 inches wide at its widest point and 4-1/8 inches long and the space between the forks is 3/4 inch with the forks being 3/4 inch long. Some may claim that my PFS is too small and I find that to be incorrect.

I'm not a hunter and I don't use heavy bands, that being said I prefer high forks, my accuracy is no worse than with short forks and maybe a little better and like I said I don't use heavy bands so wrist strain is not a problem all comes down to what you like I guess...

I lean towards the larger slingshots most of the time, but I also sometimes like to go outside and shoot a smaller fork with a 1-1/2" inside fork. That isn't small by dgui's standards, but it is about as small as my hand will hold. The vast majority of my slingshots are probably bigger than most though. I am also paranoid about getting hit in the back of my hand, so I think that explains it.

Smitty no further explanation is needed, I get the point. I get hit on the large ones and you might get hit on the small ones. But your slingshots are Mammoth !!!I lean towards the larger slingshots most of the time, but I also sometimes like to go outside and shoot a smaller fork with a 1-1/2" inside fork.
