While researching for the different models of slingshots available today I found this one that hasn't been mentioned in this forum.

Here are a few links. But if you google "ringshot" you'll find all the same images and information. A very novel slingshot.

Hmmmm. Interesting! I wonder how hard you can pull before it comes of your fingers?

.... I wonder how hard you can pull before it comes of your fingers?

i think not very much, for my opinion too dangerous with stronger bands :eek:

Looks like a simple rubber band and the middle finger can hold a little bit on the bend. I guess the designer/maker shoots paper clips and paper wads with it as I don't see a pouch. If a index and thumb finger sleeve could be integrated, I bet stronger bands could be used.

This is of more of office and school yard mischief. It's a fancier way of just putting a rubber band around your index and thumb, this design adds support to that.

It's really interesting looking at all these designs. This forum has provided much information already.

It looks like its made of a medical spint you could have strap system that could act as a wrist brace to keep it in place on hand.
