How to make a simple slingshot?

The manufacturing method of simple slingshot is as follows:

Materials/Tools: hardwood forks, candles, kindling, electric drills, medical cable ties, worn-out leather shoes.

The manufacturing steps of slingshot are as follows:

1. Find a hard branch in the wild, saw it off and bring it back. Take Mu Cha back, peel it, file it flat with a wooden file, and then grind it into the shape of a slingshot frame with a frosting.

2. Next, prepare a candle, light the candle and drop the melted wax on the slingshot frame. Spread the wax evenly while dripping. Be sure to repeat several procedures so that the slingshot is waterproof.

Next, take out the medical tie prepared in advance for use.

4. Drill holes at the top of both ends of the completed slingshot frame with an electric drill. The hole must be large enough for the medical cable tie to pass through.

5. Next, cut a piece of leather from the worn-out leather shoes prepared first, and the size should be appropriate.

6. Punch the cut leather on both sides and pass it through with a medical bandage, as shown in the figure below.

7. Finally, the medical tie is passed through the hole of the slingshot frame and fastened, and the self-made wooden slingshot is finished.

The greater the tension of the rubber band, the heavier the projectile can be matched, and the faster the rebound speed of the rubber band can provide a larger initial velocity for the projectile. The heavier the projectile, the higher the muzzle velocity and the greater the power. According to the launching mechanism, slingshots can be divided into bow slingshots and elastic slingshots. Bow slingshot has the most primitive bow slingshot and crossbow.

Composition of slingshot

Slingshot became popular in 1970s and 1980s. Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool. Slingshot is generally composed of bow frame, rubber band and leather bag. It is usually a "ya" shape made of branches. Rubber bands are tied at both ends of the rubber band, and a piece of skin wrapped in a projectile is tied in the middle of the rubber band. The strength of slingshot depends on the tension of rubber band and the rebound speed of rubber band.
