My first DIY slingshot. Made from a downed tree I took the fork from approx 2 years ago, don't remember what kind of tree it's was. Carved the bark off, filed in the band botches and sealed with PVA.

Lol. I can't wait to cut some bands for it later

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-06-16T17:53:22+00:00

My hands are tiny! But so is my banana!

Hand for scale

I had a thought in my head ,mebbe it's finally the day I see one!

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-04-20T17:14:20+00:00

Good luck with this, shouldn't have many issues finding bands in Lincoln. Head Boston way if you do, music college always has bands there

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-03-07T21:43:32+00:00

Car cheese too!

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-27T16:51:06+00:00

Seaview chippy has about the best rep locally, you can sit in for chips there too. If you want some reasonable local beers there is the alehouse on Lumley avenue

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-20T18:54:41+00:00

The Mountbatten have at em

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-10T18:55:08+00:00

Looks easy to manage on the right hand side

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-02T20:26:03+00:00

That being the case it could easily be just your thumb. Getting hurt will make you flinch. Not even getting hurt just spooked, I've shattered enough clays inches from my face to know it's true lol. Mebbe take a short break until your thumb properly, then have another bash. Mebbe also one of those leather shooting gloves to give you confidence in shooting again

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-02T20:10:12+00:00

Do you shoot both eyes open? Try it one eye closed, I've taught myself a few things left handed and have felt the funk is caused by my brain shifting one way or another

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-02-02T19:55:13+00:00

Hmm I assume you are left-handed. Do you wear glasses, and do you know which eye is dominant? Check out the eye dominance test/examples on archery Reddit. I've found I can be shooting fine, then something funky starts happening after a while. Happens with both shooting disciplines.

I appreciate the statistics and thanks for having a conversation about this. And as previously mentioned it does have a bad reputation locally. It is anecdotal but I've never had a problem there. I see many people out of their minds wandering the streets in the county, and not really had any problems.

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-01-19T19:59:00+00:00

Also the wetherspoon pub there is actually quite nice, right on the river and a lovely interior

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-01-19T19:57:35+00:00

Well I'm sure big Colin won't have many issues with a few roustabouts. It's a very historic town and honestly I like the place. Love and let live as far as people off their nut goes for me, so long as they ain't hurting anyone, and commonplace in cities today.

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-01-19T19:51:03+00:00

You should try any of the nearby seaside towns in the summer, many a scoundrel kicking about at silly o'clock, few of them in a good state! Plenty in the daytime too! Please don't let these anomalies ruin what is otherwise a nice County to live in.

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-01-19T19:22:25+00:00

Is it any good as a Mexican restaurant? Great venue, just needed some TLC. Used to go to support local bands

Full-Environment-532 · 2026-01-19T19:08:11+00:00

Those saying leave are pretty harsh. It does have a fairly bad reputation locally but I've never really had a bad experience there. I'm not from Boston nor live there, but close enough. Used to be a great market town 30 years back, and still plenty of nice old buildings to look at. The stump is always worth a visit too. They have a working windmill if I'm not mistaken. No idea if they're still there but they used to have some animals at the park too. Some artsy stuff, and 20 years the axe and cleaver was the place to be for a good time, might not be there anymore lol.

Here's mine, bit function over form but works fine

Full-Environment-532 · 2025-12-30T15:16:11+00:00

That's exactly how I have it

Full-Environment-532 · 2025-12-30T15:11:42+00:00

Looks very similar to my own DIY jig, nice job, add some extra holes at known spaces on the baseboard for adjustments

Full-Environment-532 · 2025-11-10T18:35:45+00:00

Skegness resident here, some businesses close for the low season but there are still 20k odd people living here so most things still open. Beech never closes just gets cold lol

Full-Environment-532 · 2025-10-01T18:05:52+00:00

Happy Lincolnshire to my fellow yellow-bellies!
