How to make + use a mechanical slingshot release
706The Slingshot Channel brings to you a new slingshot invention: A mechanical release that will revolutionize the butterfly shooting style but also be useful for any other style.
The device has a 360 degree rotating, self centering lock head that allows you to draw out as far as you like without twisting your wrist.
This way the biggest drawback of the butterfly shooting is eliminated, the cumbersome pouch gripping that limits you in terms of band strength.
The device is tested with a super long Thera Gold set (7 kg draw weight at 160 cm draw). Pretty fast shooting!
The design can be made without welding, mostly from wood and a few hardware store items.
