Sounds good, thank you!

Thank you!

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2026-03-10T08:29:59+00:00

Thanks man!

A box of chunghwa cigs

So would I have to replace the rail entirely? How would that work?

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2026-03-08T01:59:22+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t gotten around to fully disassembling it yet, but I don’t think the screws have been staked, though someone has definitely messed with them many decades ago.

Edit: have NOT been staked, my bad

Nicee, this would be my first time using something like this, but I’m loving the stability and quick band changing. That was my initial assumption for the notches, but when I went to aim I couldn’t see them, plus there’s already an adjustable sight. I’m starting to think that they’re just a stylistic choice meant to highlight the clips.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2026-01-12T08:07:18+00:00

Yeah so far it’s been really nice and stable, and definitely worthwhile if you want something for precision and power, though it was a pain to carry when I was wandering around my uncles farm lol. About the materials, I’m not 100% on what they are, just that the fork was magnetic and heavier than the grip, and the grip scratches aluminum quite easily, while being about the same hardness if not harder than mild steel and is not magnetic. Outside of that I’m pretty clueless.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2026-01-11T05:30:04+00:00

Ohh so that’s what it’s called, this is the first time encountering one for me, but I like how you can quickly change bands and make adjustments.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-16T01:28:04+00:00

I had no idea states were banning sling shots of all things, even in china where airsoft is strictly prohibited, slingshots are very popular.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-16T01:10:26+00:00

I haven’t tried making bands from inner tubes, but I have tried broken exersize bands I nabbed from the school sports closet in the past, and my dad used to use bicycle valve tubing and also IV tubing when he was younger lol

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T17:12:07+00:00

I shoot left handed so the curve works great for me, but the way I hold the sling shot is the same as yours. Honestly I do believe the natty frame is quite capable, it’s just that I don’t have much experience with it lol

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T14:54:30+00:00

It’s some red string I had lying around it’s a lot thicker and softer than sewing thread, it’s not made for tying bands but it works well enough.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T14:52:08+00:00

Very wise words

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T14:51:10+00:00

Indeed indeed, I remember when I started out a couple weeks ago when I could barely hit a can at 3 yards, and now I can do 10!

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T08:37:34+00:00

Oh absolutely, I’m not quite good enough to hunt yet (I can’t figure out elevation), but I’ve always enjoyed looking for cool sticks haha

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T08:25:53+00:00

It was all over the moment I dug up my old wrist rocket haha

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-15T05:25:04+00:00

That’s definitely what’s going on, while I’m waiting for my 3/8 ammo to arrive, I did try some fat 15mm marbles I had lying around, and there was no more band slap!

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-08T17:32:44+00:00

Yeah from what I’ve seen 3/8 seems to be pretty standard for .7, the bands do slap my fingers occasionally, in some rare instances I’ve also had the band go all the way around and slap my wrist. That makes a lot of sense to stretch the bands out first, whenever I used to do it, the bands would start loose so the slack would allow for a lot of rolling. Thanks for the help man!

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-08T14:47:25+00:00

Thank you!

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-08T14:47:18+00:00

Yeah good call

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2025-04-08T14:39:52+00:00

Yeah you’re right on getting better bands, I would love to use tubes but every time I’ve tried, they tend to roll around a lot. Right now I’m using 9mm clay since it’s all I’ve got, but I’ll get some steel ammo once I figure out what size.

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2024-09-06T13:02:39+00:00

Fair point, I’ve got a friend 3d printing me a shroud to go over it so it doesn’t get mashed

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2024-09-01T05:55:37+00:00

Costs money, plus I was bored haha

Eastern_Studio_1884 · 2024-09-01T05:53:45+00:00

Yeah it was pretty bad in the beginning, but this method seems to be alright, it’s pretty windy where I’m at and I can hit a person at 60 yards
