Re: Slingbow

I did have one, well still do sort of, made with a black widow catty with a whisker biscuit cable tied on, same setup Dave Canterbury used in one of his earlier youtube vids. Unfortunately I've lost the whisker biscuit insert, I can find no UK suppliers of them, seems they have to be shipped from Am...
