How to make the "Gloveshot" at home

The gloveshot (presented here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_gJ1xrCrcI ) is probably one of the strongest, most efficient slingshot designs ever. It is especially good for people that have health issues with their shooting hand, as you do not have to grip the slingshot with your fingers.

The first gloveshot presented here is made from steel, and making it requires welding gear and skills. This video shows you how to make a perfectly funtional gloveshot from wood, and without pro tools.

Here is the pdf that you can use to cut out the side parts:

And here is a video (from Fish, a fellow slingshot enthusiast, maker of the famous "Hunter" slingshot line) that teaches you how to attach the bands to the fork tips:

@bowhunter42995 And therefore you can never be a part of The Slingshot Channel. It does take courage.

Joerg, I'd like to know what you think about slings and trebuchets.

[JoergSprave]

@YoungBrave2006 Slings, lots of power, but I can't hit anything with them. Trebuchets, even more power, butr kind of bulky.

[JoergSprave]

@15951Thomas15951 The idea does come from a very bright kid, The Survivaledge.
