im gonna make this with big 107 rubber bands ill see how turns out best simplest slingshot i have ever seen a 5 year old could make that but thats the beauty of it its simples and easy good on ya mate.

can you cut a y shaped piece of wood using a hand saw????? that a good video suggestion i think

[MRDEADLYSNIPER1]

@chris12345678910111 yeah, but the weird thing is that me and my friend made one by sawing yesterday xD

im just wondering also if it is as accurate as the common slingshot designs that you showed on the other videos

[bravecat100]

Be-careful. The ammo can shoot back at you if they're not steel balls or have bad pouch design. This hurts because it tends to fire back when you pull the hardest. But if you have "balls" the pain is nearly nonexistent. But this slingshot is no problem for experts like Joerg.

Hi Joerg, nice looking slingshot there, what kind of wood did you make it out of?

[brujero13]

Pretty cool Joerg! Actually a similar design is used by the Mayan people in Guatemala. They use very artistically carved slingshots which almost have no fork except the slots for their bands. And they shoot them similar to what you show in the video. I still have not been able to use my Guatemalan slingshot accurately as I used to a wider forked stick.

wow it looked really weird at first but i made one and it worked

but where did you get flatbands from?

[JoergSprave]

I use Thera Band Gold, I buy it on ebay. You have to cut it to the desired proportions.

[JoergSprave]

The slingcat does not require flipstyle shooting, however flatbands are faster and there is no "dead" string loop like the slingcat requires.

So you need practice for the flipstyle technique, but then you get a cheaper and stronger result.

[TheMightyUsopp]

This is like the cat sling, only it's just flat bands. Is it stronger or shoot further than the cat sling?

Brilliant! I didnt think slingshots like that worked :D
