Hello,

we are getting so many threads about new slingshots that I suggest we elect the best one presented in a month every month. A poll could be done for that purpose, with every member having one vote.

I also suggest that you can't win more than once a year so everybody gets a chance and the people with a lower output frequency are not at a disadvantage.

Every XMas, we could elect the slingshot of the year!

Maybe we could even make categories (best natural, best boardcut, best steel frame, best commercial model).

This could be done by a special thread where you have to put in pictures of your "candidate", or simply by the moderators collecting newly presented slingshots from other threads.

I think it would make the site even more attractive and give people motivation to check in frequently.

It would also be a valuable source for manufacturers (the less arrogant ones at the least). They could see what kind of slingshots people like, and then hopefully optimize their product lines accordingly.

Ideas? Feedback?

I concur. I think its also a great idea.

 

[NightKnight]

Great idea! I have added the Poll functionality, so we can start doing it!

This is good for a few reasons for sure. I like that it can promote a new enthusiasm that some may not have explored in the world of slingshots. What is better than "seeing good for your hard work".

Just bought some different species of wood to make some slingshots. I'm in.

This is a brilliant idea.

10 out of 10 for that one Joerg!

I saw this Bunny Buster Natural and had to nominate it as slingshot of the month for February!

 

[Chugosh]

That is a pretty slingshot! Can't say I know enough about the field yet to vote, but that is nice.

 

[ShaneM]

My vote goes to Joergs

He is always adding new as well as traditional slingshots and his latest is self centreing .So even a beginner can get started with the sport and have excellent movements

Thanks

Hello, ShaneM!

I think the idea of some categories are good as well as a place to post all the submissions to the gallery for that month. I don't know how the gallery actually works. But if it is like the categories in the main forum all is answered.
