Slingshot Hunting Tool: From Green Stick to Dinner Maker in 24 hours.

I cut an oversized birch fork down to a useful slingshot in about 6 hours. We go over speed drying forks so they don't take months to dry. Then we band it up and make a meal!

Beautiful frame bro 👍

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks! Unfortunately it fell out of my pocket on the trapline and it snowed a foot that night. I can't find it. I guess in spring we will see how that oil and wax finish holds up to the elements!

[@MrPatrick7777]

Good call on trimming the ears off. That made it look so clean in the lines.
Excellent shop and beautiful build, slinger.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks. I agree it looks better without the ears.

He makes it look so easy they are the best natural frames I’ve seen what he makes

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

That is high praise. I enjoy the process!

Thank you! Unfortunately about a week after finishing, it fell out of my pocket on the trapline. I hope I can find it in the spring.

Cracking job mate.. can't beat a homemade.... thanks for sharing.. have you ever brought a commercially made slingshot or always homemade?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

I have owned a few commercially available slingshots. The good ol Daisy wrist rocket as a kid. I had a scout and a HDPE frame but I gave them all away after I figured out I can make whatever I want. It's more fun that way.

Lovely work, you get around using a moisture meter by just weighing the wood once it stops getting lighter it's dry.
That warp was probably unavoidable especially when going quickly you have more moist sapwood on the one side and when drying the rings pretty much always flatten out.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Agreed. Before the moisture meter I use to just cook it unti it stopped steaming that worked just fine too.

[@mrln247]

@@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans I like hand tools so not dry is also fine, sanding soggy wood sucks.
Had the build going while making one myself.

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Happy shooting!

Nice sling 👍🍻

Been waiting patiently for your next upload... I noticed you used thera-band instead of the green. Do you like it better? I have used it but recently, all of the bands have deteriorated. Is that common? Also, Where do you get your green band material?

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Thanks for waiting! I will be dropping another one here in a couple hours. It is not Thera-band. It is Burning Skull brand latex; far superior to Thera-band in my opinion. I ordered the Green GZK latex from GZK's website.

[@nutthrower4415]

I was on another site, hav ta do something while waiting for your next vid. Anyway this guy would hold on to the ammo in the pouch instead of gripping the pouch and inclosing the ammo as all others do. Have you ever heard of that? Thanks

[@sturmslingshotsandshenanigans]

Yep I have a buddy who shoots like that. He is pretty accurate. It does not stop us from making jokes about it. But the trash talking goes both ways.

[@nutthrower4415]
