Boynton-Banger $10 Crossbow Slingshot

Using a 48" Aluminum clamp from Harbor Freight as a base a fork and a very simple trigger mechanism was installed.

It will allow a very strong rubber to be pulled with 100 pounds of force and can be locked in one inch increments.

Hello Stu,

one question please, which ammunition you want to shoot with 100 pound?

@HippelU76

Not sure yet, but it was a statement about the aluminum 'barrel' and what it can take without bending.

Archers routinely use 225 lb draw compound bows.

I might consider arrows for projectiles.

So thats the slingshot huh quite a piece of work

@Boyntonstu

The Problemm at the rubber is it cannot achieve faster than for it determined speed. There you need very heavy ammunition to use around 100 pound draw wight. Arrows could go.

I like it, sound was out of sync but it was alright. Good job, saw it on SF too.

So many off color jokes come to mind with the name. :) Great work, nothing quite like a $10 banger.
