I travel long distances by sailboat and I need a good way to protect my family and my floating home. Many countries severely limit the types of weapons you can bring in, but a slingshot will work on the countries we plan on visiting, at least in the next few years.

I grew up shooting slingshots (many homemade) and bows. Could you recommend a slingshot that is well made, safe, and accurate? As well as what ammo I should be using (steel balls?) I don't need anything too expensive. Thanks!

I was ordering from proshot catapults and it dont want to process, 31.50 british money calculates to 38€ which i have in my bank account so why it doesnt want to process? Any help?

Hi everyone, I could really use some help with a design issue. I’m working on a slingshot rifle and have a significant safety concern. You see, when aiming with one of those without a scope, your eye is directly in line with the stressed structure, which poses a serious risk if the bands or frame fail. Unlike traditional slingshots, which redirect failures toward the shoulder or cheek (something I’ve experienced many times), I feel like a slingshot rifle failure could directly hit the eye.

Of course I could just use eye protection, and I sure will, but I’d prefer to eliminate this danger altogether. Do you guys know if there are any alternative designs or adjustments that could prevent the eye from being in the way? I’d appreciate any suggestions!

Added a print from the channel Hudson Hertz just to illustrate how the eye is aligned with the stressed structure (sorry about the image quality)

Ive got a lame ass neighbor. We're out in the country and there are pretty much always noises between the wildlife like coyotes, neighbor dogs, we're near a highway, roosters, peacocks, and we also have dogs that bark at everything they deem sus. Yet my 5/16 ammo is apparently hitting the backdrop so hard it's bothering said neighbor. this d@ck kisser is like 150 meters away at least. Which leads me to the question....how can I make my catch box spitefully quiet? I've already pleated it to make it much more quiet but I want it as close to silent as I can manage.

Longshot but ....anyone in the community from NYC? And still live in NYC? Feels like a stupid question but ya never know.

There ergonomics on this bad boy I have no words. I can't wait to band it up. It's beautiful. It's warm Almost don't want to use it (but to hell with that.) pray for no fork hits. 🎯

It came...and yes w a random door hinge 🤨

Little 5cm cups.

Hello! Does this seem like a decent first slingshot? It's for an adult, is 7" long enough?
