Wowee! That's a good looking pult. I've been using those cuts of band for a little while now, I love them but they get twisted easily. I really like the look of the pouch. I'm jealous, I can't wait to hear any news about it.
DZP's bands never twist, and the last ones just kept on going, the pouch is very small ideal for the 8mm balls, but ive just been shooting 14mm lead balls in the garden, and with it having a small pouch you can get a good firm grip of the ball, im out lamping tonight with it and one of my small lurchers, cant wait to try it, it is a lot thicker than my other one, and i love the feel of these slingshots, they will be nice and warm to the feel in the cold weather, so im looking forward to a good winters hunting with it, jeff

Jeff, I always like to hear that you're enjoying one of my slingshots.

This time, I remembered that you shoot with the slingshot in your right hand. Which is why you could start shooting straight away while the postman beat a hasty retreat!
This honey coloured G10 is thicker but it is also far stronger. I reckon it should shrug off many fork hits. Of course you should still chck for damage.

If this one goes, we'll work up to Jade G10. Beyond that, there's not much stronger besides tempered tool steel, but in all likelihood if a fork hit manages to destroy the honey G10, it'd have to be so big that you'll probably wouldn't be upto holding a slingshot for a while.

Wow! Great one. I have a 3.8mm Carbon Fibre T1. Even if it's very thin it's still very comfortable to hold.

I can imagen how comfortable this thick frame is! Have fun and good hunting! Friedrich
The record for the thickest T1 goes to jephroux's slingshot. It's thicker than both of Jeff's plus yours. Actually, they get more comfortable as they get thicker and they don't cost much more to make either. However, the whole point of the T1 was to make it as small and thin as possible and still shoot like a big frame. There was plenty of big chunky board cuts out there at the time, but not much that would disappear into a polo shirt breast pocket or the back of one's jeans in the middle of your wallet. I can always make them thicker by request. This thicker one G10 was chosen because I wanted it to be almost indestructible.

Anti-twist bands! This is an anomaly of science, surely ... what's the secret?

There is no secret.

Just about every aspect of the slingshot and bands has been carefully engineered to perform exactly as I wanted. Twisting never occurrd to me and I have done nothing to mitigate it. That said, I've never had twisting problems and none of the recipients has complained to me, so it's not really a problem with these bands.
