A few days ago I whittled the bark off of a birch fork. Cut it to size and threw it in the toaster oven for a couple hours. No drying no nothing! when it came out I put some danish oil on it while it was still hot and once it cooled I banded it up. It is plain, simple and cracked. I love it. I have factory forks that I have spent hard earned $ on, naturals I spent countless hours on... and then there is this burnt stick that shoots just as accurately as anything I have ever held. The things you know. lol.

To see how it worked on it's first outing check out the slingshot hunting thread. https://slingshotforum.com/topic/124562-how-i-hunt-red-squirrels/?p=1419570

Its funny like that sometimes. There is beauty in the simply things. Its only going to get cooler looking when it gets hand oil and dirt caked into it from months of use.

I like my slings dirty!

Agreed I can't put down my trusted natural. It's never failed me and it was from a girl I had forgotten I had.

This frame, and your squirrel hunt video is the thing about Slingshots that is just so hard to wrap the head around. If I had a $200 frame I would have likely lost it in the forest and missed my squirrel. Nab a stout Natty and you eat for a week!

I am about to put a bunch of frames up for sale, there is no reason to spend $ on frames when natties fill the cook pot with such efficiency. My primary goal is to put meat on the table, and that goes for all shooting sports, this one just happens to be accomplished with a burnt stick. You gotta love the simplicity of the slingshot!

Dude... Some are worth remembering.... Some are best forgotten..... I guess if she FORKS you..... she belongs in the memory bank somewhere!
