The christmas tree crossbow shot so well that I decided to make a nicer weapon with the same concept.

So I made a side by side double shooter with steel levers, a steel system and a stainless steel "barrel" (16 mm tube).

The "fork" is very narrow as it has to be the same width as the two hooks for the ball+pouch, so the two shots are parallel.

The levers are held down by two rubber strings, quite effective, just like the christmas tree design.

Carved a stock from multiplex, dyed it with ink and oiled it with linseed oil.

This is a great shooter! Feels a bit odd at first to not have a trigger, but I got over that quickly.

A "The Slingshot Channel" production!

  • it looks like the balls would hit the point where the rubber bands are fixed, as you cant turn this thing like you would with a regular slingshot to shoot over the top.

  • @41stgaming But the "laddling" action adds an upwards vector so the balls fly cleanly over the fork.

  • Do you have any still photos our do I have to glean them from your video footage?

  • @anyonefindAMERICA1 Register at the slingshotforum or check out my blog. Links in the credits of the vid.

  • To this you should add a piece of scrap metal between one of the triggers, so you could fire both at once or 1 at a time

  • GOD that thing makes a good sound...

  • Wouldn't the elastic become too stretched out?
