Frameless fingers slingshot shooting V

these are my finger slingshots, totally frameless. Enjoy shooting them. I think DANKUNG may hate me, that would be no slingshot frame business if every shooter like my shooting style

The guy in the video at the first post he call himself 极地老妖 "Polar Demon" he is one of the few that started 无架弹弓 "Frameless Slingshot" with great Consistency & Accuracy, later on he also started producing his own brand of Tubes bands, Flat bands and Pouch as well. I am still experiencing with Frameless Slingshot so i am still a Noob at the moment so far i find Frameless are not as Powerful as Normal Slingshot or may be it's just me? I am still experiencing..lolz

There are good number of frameless slingshot video in youtube now, just search for "Bareback" or "Frameless" Shooting.

I tried the idea of frameless slingshots a while back, when I first came across the idea, and I gave it another shot this afternoon.
Using 1745 tubes I find it hard to keep the tubes from rolling off my thumb. I need a couple attempts for creating the ‘frame’ for each shot. I also find that, as you need to stretch the tubes before placing the thumb and index fingers, the tubes press into my ring finger and become uncomfortable after a few shots.
Finally, I can’t use as heavy a draw as I do with my frame slingshot, which has 2 loops (4 strands) of 1745 tubing. For the frameless slingshot I tried with 1 loop (2 strands) of 1745 tubing, and I still had a hard time reaching the full draw (probably because I would need a bigger loop, to compensate for the area of the loop that is held by the hand).
Watching some videos on YouTube, I saw that people tended to use longer loops, and not so heavy a draw, so that might be the trick. Flat bands would also be a big help to keep the band form rolling, and to spread the pressure on the ring finger (unfortunately, I don’t have any flat bands to give it a try).

Oh Yes..i've made a frameless slingshot with 1745 tube be4 it dose get hard to do a full draw, i've also had the tube rolling off the thumb as well i just draw slowerly and pull the tubes be4 making the fork with finger than open up the fork, i've done some "research" that those ready made frameless slingshot tube are mostly between 20 - 22cm see if that helps.

Hi Mansell, thanks for your insight!
The tube I was using had a length about 40cm (tube only), which is the same length I use for my frame slingshots. With 40cm I have trouble going to full draw length, I think I should add 3-4cm (for the tube wrapped in the hand).
I realized that pulling the tube before placing the thumb and index fingers (making the 'frame') helps, but it gets uncomfortable, as the tube presses into my ring finger.
This morning I came with an idea I found interesting: to have a piece of leather for the area that wraps into my hand. This would be like a 2-hole leather pouch (please see the picture), but much longer.
I think this would prevent tube rolling and be more comfortable on my ring finder, while still being a Frameless slingshot (minimal bulk, minimal weight). The idea is basically to have a flat band in the hand, and not a tube. The fact that the leader will not stretch may make it more comfortable, too.
I will try to put this idea to test in the next days.

Sounds Good and a Nice Idea as well if it works for you Just Do it mate, or you can try Flat Band Frameless as well i can see it would be nice to shoot with because flat band Do Not cut/press in to the fingers at all.

I prepared the set in the picture. The ‘Frame’ is 20.5 x 1.4 cm, the pouch is 7 x 1.4 cm. I used 2 pieces of 22.5cm, 1745 tube (measured before tying the tube). I tied the tube on the ‘Frame’ leather piece from opposite sides so that when bending the leather in a ‘V’ shape, the tube would come over the top in both ends.
This ‘Leather Frame’ is much more comfortable to me than bare tube. It does not roll from the finger or uncomfortably press on the ring finger or little finger. Also, because the leather is not stretching and will not roll, I can form the slingshot frame with my fingers before pulling the pouch back. I find this more intuitive (probably, because I come from a non-frameless slingshot).
Now, while I think this is a very interesting concept, I am still not fully convinced. This slingshot is very simple and very lightweight, but I can draw only half the weight I normally draw, and it feels awkward. Also, after not so many shots my left hand starts hurting from the pull (I guess this is just a matter of training the hand and getting practice).
Final thoughts: I would go with a non-frameless slingshot whenever possible, for the increased draw weight. I also like my frames (from an aesthetical point of view), and I would like to build my collection up over the time.
So, for me the frameless slingshot is another option, but definitely not my first option. I would rather take with me something like the POM X6 slingshot (incredibly light and quite compact), than just go with a frameless slingshot.

A shooting style of brave man. I admin him so!

Wow..Over Knuckle Frameless, he must had be perfect this style for so long, coz as far as i know if you don't know what you are doing whom can say GG to they're Knuckles..i am Dumbfounded 0_0

Hello Every One, i've just got myself a Shooting Chorongraph from Dankung i'll do some testing for some of the common Frameless Tubes setup to see whats they're Ture Power, beside from Target Shooting can Frameless be used for Hunting?

Hi, Mansell, that is great!
If you have the time, can you please analyze some frame slinghshot tube and balls configuration, as comparison?
I have no idea about the data for frame slinghshots, so I couldn't compare.
Best regards, UE.

Ok..Noproblem i'll get that done asap when the Shooting Chorongraph turn up at my Door and a nice day i can do some test..

Thank you, Mansell, much appreciated!

Hi, I read through everybody's posts above. You really have great passion on frameless slingshot. Personally I recommend use the stick slingshot for safety, it has all shooting skills for bare-hands frameless slingshot, but quite safe.

Our rosewood frameless slingshot is in 3-day 25% discount at high end safety frameless slingshot

actually dose this device act as a protection for the fingers or its a Slingshot?

Hi Mansell, it is a bit of both (protection and frame), but it has no fork. As the Stick slingshot name explains, it is just a stick. This one in particular has a metal cover over the thumb, which makes it safer.

Hi , I love this slingshot but i hit the frame ( the part that covers my thumb ) every time i shoot , can anyone please help me , I cant find any videos or instructions explaining how to shoot it , I have many slingshots and I love shooting , Thank you PLEASE HELP ME ... Larry

please notice your rear hand should pinch the ammo rather than the pouch, this is a big different from traditional dankung slingshots

I was holding the pouch like i do to shoot regular slingshots , also my pouch is much bigger , I am determined to get it right so i have much practicing to do

It shoots amazingly

Click me for a new contest of frameless slingshot

I've been trying this style on and off for a while and find tubes very awkward compared to light flatbands

it is cool to see the many ways you can make a slingshot now even with just your fingers . I guess it's kinda of like guys who ride a one-wheel motocycle for the challenge. or probably maybe it's for awesome, exciting stealth hunting

4 reasons I love frameless slingshot.
1: no frame is as pocketable as frameless, I carry only air in my pocket

2 I can hunt with it in a pinch .
3 for me it's much more accurate than when i hold a frame. The frameless slingshot has been a part of my body, it's very natural and stable.

4 I feel like a spiderman when I shoot frameless

I started shooting frameless out of curiosity. I now shoot it everyday because I can take it anywhere even on board when I was heading to Canada. I made the frameless slingshot myself, but it's dangerous, I hurted hand twice . Now I prefer the commercial frameless slingshot by DANKUNG.New finger slingshot
