I wanted to build a very compact slingshot out of canvas micarta. I wanted it to be more geared towards BB's and 1/4 steel balls. I just got some of Ray's magnetic pouches, but I forgot them at home... good thing I had some of Bill's target bands and some dental floss at the shop!!

Here is the rough prototype. Still needs finishing, but I really like the shape and it feels good in the hand. It also shoots 1/4" balls NICELY! Overall length is 3 3/4" and it is 2 1/8" at its widest point.

I decided to call it the "WHY"...

I would appreciate your feed back!

In hand...

This shot shows how the nice wide handle stabilizes nicely in your hand.

Do we really need to answer "WHY"....???

THANKS!

Tom

[NaturalFork]

Where do you get the material? Or do you make it?

Brock beat me to it!!! Why Not Indeed!!!

Looks good to me!!

I really like the shape, nice and pretty small. Is that more difficult to work on canvas micarta than on wood?

 

[sanjay]

Great little shooter, Tom!

Its canvas micarta. Its what I use for knife scales. I get mine from Sheffield Knifemakers supply.

Maybe just a little harder than most woods... not bad at all though.

Great Tom!

I think it would ride nicely in a pants or shirt pocket all day until the summons to dinner was issued.....I like it a lot and the micarta makes it even cooler.

 

[huey224]

it looks so comfy for such a small slingshot..

I like it a lot, but on reflection, I think it would be better wider at the fork or shaper for thumb behind support and shot with lots of flip. Regardless, it will look great sculpted and polished.

 

[Frodo]

That looks good. Perfect size

I like this slingshot very much and love your use of the canvas micarta.

Nice work, I'm amazed at the difference in size between the pocket and the fork, no problem with that ?
