Three Great Slingshots
Three great slingshots that I have been shooting all the time. Left one is from Jim Harris, center one is my slingshot design cast in aluminum by Pete at Hogan Castings and the right one is from ZDP, also cast by Hogan Castings. I now find it hard to think of other designs because these things answer all of my needs or desires when shooting. If you want a truly fine slingshot, I would say to design one you really like and let Pete turn it into a marvel of pure joy to shoot that will last for generations. Jims' slingshot is just about the most perfect slingshot I have ever shot with and for some reason it seems to help me hit what I aim at. I couldn't choose any one of the three over the others, because each one has what I want in a slingshot.
P.S. We need a delete button when we do something stupid like this double post. Sorry.

I agree. You need to PM AaronC about setting changes ... I made the same suggestion last week, but obviously more voices are needed to get him off the couch and into the Admin Control Panel.
Hopefully while he's at it, he'll increase the max self-edit time from 1 week to unlimited, so that users can maintain their own posts.
It's really saying something when something can stand out from all your millions of slingshots, Smitty. Kinda knew it couldn't be just one, Ha, ha!

Yeah, it is a split in the wood. I suspect it is from hard use and hot and cold movement of the metal. It doesn't bother me in the least. I filled it with some wood putty to maintain seal. I have shot it thousands of times and I love it.

Smitty, I'll see what I can do make up for that, here in the future. I also want to thank you for taking the pic with the EPS turned at an angle, as I never take any pics of the EPS from straight on.
