The ft lbs energy or joules of those are the exact same as 30 and 40 pound olympic recurve bows. With slightly lower drawweight. However, you need a lot of pretension to reach the power level of compound bows with the same drawweight. You would need a longer rubber extender and to pretense the rubber a lot, to have the drawlength the same but with more power in your shot.

Hello! Did you make this slingshot yourself or did you buy it?

Hi its a project I’ve been working on, designed and built myself, if there is enough interest I’ll eventually post plans and build videos.

That's quite fast, probably could take down a wild boar
