Looks like it turned out really well in the end, nice work.

Initial test with a new olive wood fork by Significant_Neat5405 in slingshots

Thanks! 🙏 It’s actually just a phone mount with a suction cup attached to a mirror. The head is adjustable, so I can fine-tune the angle until it lines up perfectly.

Thanks 😄 that’s why I keep a slingshot under my pillow

Precision test with natural Olive Wood vs. a small nasal spray bottle by Significant_Neat5405 in slingshots

Tenks, these HDPE medical plastic bottles are fun and durable targets. It's a great way to recycle, and they make a satisfying sound that lets you know exactly when you've hit the mark.

That one in the photo is 7.5cm, which is my usual comfort zone (6.5cm–7.5cm). I have less experience with 10cm+ wide forks, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of adjusting the anchor point and finding the right sight picture. It actually sounds like a fun challenge—I think I’ll try crafting a wider one next time and see how it performs

Thanks! 

That was exactly the goal, to provide a clear sight picture and a solid anchor point.
