Re: Your ideal slingshot? What features SHOULD it have?
Add a Whiskerbiscuit to make it into a slingbow. A mate of mine added one to his slingshot after I showed him the video of Dave Canterberry (from Wilderness Outfitters/The Pathfinder School LLC) do this, and I have used it myself several times. With a little practice, you can become very accurate with this set-up. I need to get a Whiskerbiscuit to add to my Barnett Blackwidow, just can't afford one right now though.

I have always shot naturals. That is a fork cut from a tree( I like ash) I have had a yakker for at least 40 years. My Dad was an awesome shot- I ain't bad!
Sunday I killed a pigeon, Wednesday before a cock pheasant.
It is simple , a fork of some sort, elastic and a pouch. Then a projectile of some sort. For me LEAD.
Why try to complicate a simple hunting tool???

You don't need a Whiskerbiscuit, just a piece of relatively rigid wire bent into an M shape can make a great arrow rest so long as you can fit it on the style of slingshot you have got or made.The Ace of Spades wrote:Add a Whiskerbiscuit to make it into a slingbow.

That's true. Or a metal ring large enough for the arrow to pass cleanly thorough. I shoot gangster style, so need an option which would keep the arrow in place a little more securely whilst drawing & aiming. Just my personal choice.nickdutch wrote:You don't need a Whiskerbiscuit, just a piece of relatively rigid wire bent into an M shape can make a great arrow rest so long as you can fit it on the style of slingshot you have got or made.The Ace of Spades wrote:Add a Whiskerbiscuit to make it into a slingbow.
