Barnett Pro Diablo II Slingbow, modded with a drop-away arrow rest, black power tubes/bands, D-loop arrow knock, paracord wrist brace, black ops style tubing covered frame
Nice work. But i think You want it to drop "prematurely". It should not contact with the fletching at all. It should have a spring pushing it forward and your draw sets it upwards. So when you release it drops before the fletching gets to it. Once the arrow has its initial speed you do not want to interfere with it at all. That"s why it called as Drop- Away.
This is going to sound stupid, but roll with it. Design a slingbow to side-shoot for accuracy. It is true for regular slingshots and will be true for a slingbow as well. It becomes MUCH easier to aim doing it this way, and is also ergonomic as your wrist is in a much stronger position in relation to your arm. The two bands, when lined up as one in your vision tell you exactly where (vertically) the sling will shoot, leaving just elevation (horiontal) as the variable, instead of both when held the usual way. A flip down arrow rest should work great if the notch is centered to the bands.
That’s much nicer than my attempt prototype I found thick heavy gauge resistance bands to give decent power but haven’t been able to make or find something to brace the forearm because drawing that sucker back is tough on the wrist. Great design mate! 👍🏽
My favorite rest i made was from a go pro clip and a rubberband and a industrial ziptie. My frame is the fishin one with the springs heavily modified .
I found it in the video very good speak to you and easy to understand I think I will give this a go I would like the idea of it at the moment I'm using a bow which sometimes it's quite difficult to handle it's quite high powered I've been looking at options how much is idea for taking out small rabbits on so4 also it would be good to use for fishing and I think the design would last more longer than the normal gadgets that are available so therefore let's see how this goes
hiya mate, someone sent me pics the other day, on the slingshot forum, of your diablo, in the wanted section, saying it was for sale. was that you? cheers
Its easy to see the sound beats the arrow to the target. But if hunting at close range out to 50 feet. The quarries reaction time better be instant.....an elegant and serious weapon Great for survival situation
@@shootingGBS I heard it has 6 mm steel limbs as attachment points. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any weak spots that need to be reinforced to prevent it from coming apart in my hand and smacking me in the face causing blindness? But if that's not the case then good?
can you shoot with a static rest ok with these I have a black widow of had for years and at 30 in not regressing lol .I was thinking of a simple y shape post and some home made aluminium arrows away I go for free
Ozzy awesome next can you give me a clue on length and weight for the stabilizers as I have some carbon rods about 6mm thick and some stainless steel tattoo machine hand grips that would look and work well I just wondered how long for the bottom and front facing poles and how much weight at the end to give me a good start point to play around with see what I can do
Too clumsy! The simple slingbow Otto Survival demonstrates is easy to use, fast on the draw, and damn effective too -- sends the bolts right into tree trunks and right through boards.
left handed, but right eye dominant... I shoot pistols left handed, but aim with my right eye like Bruce Willis! LOL! - bows and rifles shoot right handed tho...
Hi Shootin' Bows 'n' Slingshots What type of tubing did you cover the metal parts with please? What do you call it if I were to buy it? Any help appreciated, thanks!!
I would like to point out a flaw in your design. please check it out on what I'm saying you remove the Factory rubber wrist wrap and replaced it with 550 cord correct. now I am assuming that your intention are if something was to happen. you would have cordage on your slingshot to help you in the survival ordeal. but if something was to happen and you remove the 550 cord you have just luminated your wrist support your wrist can no longer support the slingshot when you draw the band back this is going to debilized your slingbow and accuracy will suffer drastically remember most everything you do to it has a counter-reaction for example adding the rubber coating does make it look better it also adds additional weight no it may not seem like much but a few ounces here and a few ounces there have now turned into pounds that you could shed from your pack weight over saving your back a lot of pain a over time a
Ingenious design Ozzy. Really impressive, rugged and functional. I've got to make one.
Maybe a great home industry.
That's a pretty good slingbow ,it fires well and looks great impressive mods.
Cheers

WOW! Super piece of work.Johnny
joerg is the slingshot master
but you sir are the king off slingbows!
Very clever DIY, thanks for sharing pal

Awesome mod man!
AWESOME !!!!! GENIUS !!!
How did you make the paracord wrist brace? Its super sweet ✌
You should try the Hammer by Simple Shot.

Love it love it love it weldone 👍
May be a stupid ? But what size hinge did you use im currently trying to mod a barrnet cobra and love the drop away idea you are using
Nice ! Good idea .
love it. Sir, I have a Barnett pro Diablo with whisker biscuit and love it, but I think you have aced it. I'm very tempted to ask you to convert mine!
Lol! The whisker also works really well, I just thought I'd invent/try a drop away arrow rest!
+Ozzy the trouble I have with mine is that the screw depth on the front is really shallow and I still have to use duct tape to keep it vertical.
+Ozzy ps... feathers or vanes?
ReinhardvonHolst, Seeing nobody answered, ill say feathers give better flex when contacting any part, and better flight.
what are you using for a release?
Estou usando esse recurso da dobradiça... A minha modelo diferente mas fazendo a mesmo trabalho.
Knowing the size of that trampoline and extrapolating the distance, that sure does not seem like 15 meters.

how did you make the D-loop arrow nock?
AJ Lastyona dacron bow string ;-)
Do you sell these fully modified as shown in your video?
JEREMY LLC no, not selling, just mod for fun!
what size tubing
I think you should put a wicker biscuit on the hinge but good work
What are the white tube inserts that you have ?
michkanm come with the original tube pouch set up
Shootin' Bows 'n' Slingshots Thanks.
What’s the two rods for up front?
How long are the arrows going to try this with my original diablo pro .
32"
Try a magnet to hold arrow up way Faster reset
Can a Barnett slingshot like this handle speargun tubes?
As long as you have arms like Popeye! 😂😂😂

Muito tempo para rearmar!

of course, any fixed arrow rest will work, I was just experimenting with a drop away concept!

+Nick Kendall ah mate, dunno! sold it! about 6" long I guess? no idea about weight though!
nick_o_shay kendall + You can make your own hinge from scrap steel, using a hammer. Wrap it around a spike nail.
can you remove weights?
Giulia franci sure, they just screw in

What happens when you run outa arrows your mod has taken the pouch a way so now you cant shoot stones marbles or ball bearings
you could welding it so it wont move
U should replace the wire with a sring
có chỗ nào bán ko bạn ơi
are you a lefty

Is that your neighbour's garden behind your backstop?
Yup
@@shootingGBS aren't you (or them) a little worried in case you miss? 😱
Nice mods to your Diablo though 🙂
@@ianmorrison6127 - nope, not really. My neighbours never use their garden... can't think why 😂😂😂
Hi Shootin' Bows 'n' Slingshots
What type of tubing did you cover the metal parts with please? What do you call it if I were to buy it? Any help appreciated, thanks!!
Fuel hose. Any auto shop will sell it by the metre
You are not drawing the tubes equally.
I would like to point out a flaw in your design. please check it out on what I'm saying

remember most everything you do to it has a counter-reaction for example adding the rubber coating does make it look better it also adds additional weight no it may not seem like much but a few ounces here and a few ounces there have now turned into pounds that you could shed from your pack weight over saving your back a lot of pain a over time a
