A Slingshot Bow and Arrow: Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

There ’s a reason very few hunters cheat out into the wood armed with a sling . They can be mortal for lowly game , but you ’re probably not going to fell a one dollar bill with one . Unless you happen to be slingshot madmanJoerg Sprave , and your slingshot fire friggin arrows .

Referring to his latest creation as a ‘ slingshot ’ might be a of a routine of a stretch ( pun intended ! ) since Sprave has fundamentally created a prow that utilise elastics instead of tightened string . But the advantage to such a system is that the elastics can be easily swapped with thick , stronger versions — like the tubing from a speargun which makes this weapon particularly deadly .

And this sentence around he ’s even included instructions on how to build your own , even if granting such mightiness to the muckle is a terrible , terrible idea . [ YouTube ]
