The slingbow is a very popular weapon as it is compact, lightweight, easy to make and can shoot hunting arrows. But it competes with small bows, such as the "Liberty I" by Howard Winthers from www.libertyarchery.com.

This video presents the Liberty I bow and compares it to the "Diamond Razor Edge" compound bow and the homemade slingbow (see the How-To on The Slingshot Channel).

The results are quite impressive, the small Liberty I shoots a 400 gr arrow at more than 310 km/h. It outperforms the larger Razor Edge and of course also the slingbow (made with materials for under 10 dollars).

Slow Motion scenes recorded at 1200 frames per second show the behaviour of the bow when shot, it stays amazingly calm.

  • I have the diamond razor edge and i was also wondering were you got the stringstop?

  • @4MRhunting I bought a generic one. The Razor is not fully prepared for a stop, but it has a threaded hole (M8) at the perfect spot - on the wrong side, though. I simply drilled it all the way through and cut the threading through as well. Came out perfect. Increases power and accuracy.
