The catapult I have been practicing with today was made from wood, string, very cheap resistance bands and an old leather pouch from another bandset. The wood was reclaimed.
Total cost? Very low.
Commercial catapults have lovely predatory names and pretty colours, but that doesn't necessarily make them more accurate. Each frame seems to shoot very differently and one has to get used to the frame so that one can shoot and shoot it well. Catapults are an industry and the names and designs make up part of the marketing.
My black widow is useful as its my only tube shooter, the cheap Chinese one I have is good because its my only looped band shooter and my home made wooden one is great cos its my only flat band shooter.
I don't need any more, just need to learn how to shoot with what I have got.
That wont stop me lusting after something shiny and stylish, but its not very preparedness minded to buy shit cos it looks good.
......jeez kids these day think they know it all)

a slingshot is a length of cordage or leather etc that's spun round like the old David & Goliath jobbie lol they don't seem to teach kids in school anythin nowdays.
