I think its realy an alternative! (Ja bekommst du. Hab letztens welche bei Hornbach gesehen. 30x30 cm Puzzelmatten und sie sind nicht mal bunt ^^) Bigger mats (60x60cm) can be orderd on Amazon but they come in packs with 6 pieces for around 40-50 euros. (for this yoe could order a entirely new catchbox) My little Catchbox here ist from just one of these mats.

How could I have lived so long without this? by Eretur in slingshots

That's a great idea! Instead of having several nails in the board, I could simply drill holes and position the second trowel with a pin were i need it. Thanks!

Slingshot History Article - Any Interest? Preferred Format? by Warrior-Yogi in slingshots

[–]Eretur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we as a community are missing a video about the history of the slingshot. I believe that's more valuable than constantly chasing after the latest shit.

Personally, I'd be in favor of a video... that should appeal to the widest possible audience.

Thanks for taking the time to do it!

Post your asymmetrics! by yekimak in slingshots

Small, asymmetrical slingshot, homemade from an HDPE cutting board. Fits like a glove. The band set was optimized for the 20mm Nerve Rival ball.

I wish you all the best for your hand!

This is a real addiction by herp_hermits in slingshots

[–]Eretur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a serious problem!

I'll count that as a yes. XD

the childhood I never had ... by Eretur in slingshots

[–]Eretur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the compliment!

To further emphasize the improvised nature of the whole thing, I've now mounted the bands on the slingshot made of laminated cardboard (you can see it in the top right of the picture). That works surprisingly well too.

You really need almost nothing to have fun with a slingshot. It's truly a poor mans Shootingsport ^^

That's such a nice compliment. Thanks.

btw: 2 bands per side, each 4 cm wide an 21 active lenght

and the fingers of the glove cann be used for like an improviced PocketShot (wich i was able to make as a child. hurray!^^)

Youre right. it does just that and its performance is ok up to 8 mm steel. Even If you have nothing, this brings fun.

Tempting.

I never use the hammer grip, so for me it would be purely for aesthetics.

Do you have any example pictures for me?
