Really solid one.
The Pebble Shooter PS mod.3 Baltic birch plywood slingshot
Hello everybody,
For the PS mod.3, I downsized my birch plywood-based "Twin-Loop" design by removing the holes and narrowing down the fork width to enable a comfortable pinch-grip for low forks.
After the basic shape was cut out with an electric jigsaw, a rasp was used to shape the edges, followed by that usual challenging filing and sandpapering session. All in all about 3 and a half hours of work from start to finish.
The dimensions of my new design, which will be available in the templates section, are as follows:
Length = 11 cm.
Width = 9 cm.
Inner fork width = 4 cm.
Fork tip width for O.T.T. flat bands = 25 mm.
Width between the pinch-grip grooves = 5.5 cm.
Baltic birch plywood thickness = 22 mm. (18 mm minimum thickness is recommended).
I initially stained the wood with a water-based color, which was followed by two layers of water-based wood sealant.
The PS mod.3 feels very comfortable in the hand (standard hand size), and is intended as a target shooting frame for steel ammo sizes up to 10 mm. The design should be appropriate for suitable hardwoods as well.
