Hello there,

I built myself a new catapult yesterday. I wanted one that is

- has an ergo grip
- has a very narrow fork for maximum power
- is low above the hand for less wrist strain
- distributes the power of wide bands ideally over the fork tips

So I used 20 mm steel balls as forks! Welded them together and also used a steel rod and another steel tube. That is basically the skeleton of the new slingshot.

Then, I put on Fimo (modelling clay that hardens in the oven) to make my own custom grip, fitting my hand 100%.

Spray painted the grip in black, for a more professional look.

I put on Thera Band gold rubber, 7 cm wide, folded in the middle.

It shoots really well, is very compact and precise.

Here are some pics:

Greetings. Jörg
