Turn your christmas tree into a deadly slingshot crossbow!

This is a video specifically for the survivalists! Because if you find yourself in a TEOTWAWKI situation, you will have to hunt down your food as supermarkets will be looted in no time. Of course you can make a slingshot very easily if you have some rubber, but without practice, a slingshot is worthless as a hunting weapon.

A slingshot crossbow is a different issue. It allows you to hit small game from distances between 10 and 30 meters easily, even without any kind of practice.

But how do you make a slingshot crossbow when you are out in the wild, without power tools, without a DIY market for the parts?

This video shows how to make a very accurate slingshot crossbow from tree branches and twigs, with nothing but a pocket knife as a tool. So as long as you keep some rubber in your BOB, you can make a very accurate and effective hunting weapon in a couple of hours.

Of course you can use any tree branch for the weapon, but in this video, an old christmas tree is used for the stock/frame of the weapon. This adds a nice touch to this The Slingshot Channel production!

5:16 SHOOT THE SATAN SPAWN, unless you like cats?

[JoergSprave]

@SirLohhan If these sweet cats are "satan's spawn", then heck may not be such a bad place after all :)

Hey Joerg, Ein Kumpel von mir hat das gebaut aber er hat sich damit in den Bauch geschossen. Woran könnte das liegen und wie kann man das beheben?

[JoergSprave]

@sgschusswaffenlol9 Wahrscheinlich hat er die Pouch und die dazugehörige Schlaufe nicht richtig hingebracht. In das Leder gehört ein großes Zentrierloch, das Leder darf nicht zu groß sein, und die Schlaufe nicht zu klein.

@rutger362 Latex works better than butyl, but Thera Band rubber rocks.
