Anyone who is interested in a custom slingshot or needs custom cut flatbands for their old classic or collectible shooters, give me a ring at Bassrule@optonline.net I make my sets from top grade flat gum rubber and medical grade latex and other types of elastomers -(rubber). All different type cuts, straight, tapered, folded, wide, thin and all different type pouches, straight, single cupped ,double cupped. I also sell band sets on e-bay. Slingshots are carved from all different types of wood and are all types of designs-some formed from aluminum rod-some are even hybrids of metal and wood. Click on the link below to check out some of my designs on a public album I have on Glowfoto. You need something pertaining to slingshots, give me a ring at the e-mail address above. A lot of people have been telling me to do this so we'll give it a try! thanks, Flatband:)

Thanks JT! Get a chunk of wood and give it a try Bud. It's a lot of fun and feels great when it's all done and you realize you did everything yourself.:) Flatband

Hey Flatband do you find a Y shaped branch or do you carve it? Thanks. JT

Hi JT, I'm not a big fan of Natural Tree fork Slingshots. I don't shoot them nor do I carry them for sale. I have a few in my collection but they were never really comfortable to me. I'll take a board cut custom carved to fit my hand any day. I also never cut any of throats in my frames in the classic "V" shape. I always use a "U" shape. I just think it gives less slap going through. Sorry Bud! Flatband:)
