Slingshot grip

The side that's up on your picture is the front of the slingshot. You can see that there’s a groove under the fork (the arms).
You should grip the slingshot from the back (the side that is in contact with the hand in your picture), placing your thumb and index finger right under the fork. When wrapping around the slingshot, these will fall into the groove I mentioned above.
Then, the other 3 fingers (middle, ring and pinkie) should wrap the lower portion of the handle, falling under the groove.

You got me interested

Hi, DigitalLord, you already got me interested,
What will you use for the fork? Will it be wood, or some less conventional material?
I am also intrigued to know what band setup and ammo you will use.
Best regards.

Thanks for the answer.

Thanks for the answer.
I have seen it for a lower price a while back (somewhere else), but maybe I will purchase it from you once I get mor DK points.
Best regards.

POM slingshot?

Hi, do you sell this POM slingshot? Do you have it in brown? I saw there are other colors, too.
I also saw you have posted a Stainless Steel version if this slingshot: http://www.dankung.com/Gcontent/aliens-heavy-weapon-stainless-steel-hunt...

I recently received a free Jungle Hunter slingshot from Dankung. Dankung explains that the Jungle Hunter is ‘designed in USA’, and specially adapted for western shooters (considering the different hand size and shooting style).

Compared to my General slingshot, the Jungle Hunter is significantly taller, with most of the additional height in the handle, but some additional height in the fork, too. The Jungle Hunter is also wider (mostly the fork), and it has straighter lines. As it is to be expected, this size increase comes with a weight increase, going up to 143gr (while the General has a weight of 112gr).

Both slingshots are made by casting the Stainless Steel into a mold, not from cold-bent rods. As for the finish, the General is fully polished, while the Jungle Hunter is not (unpolished areas are the inside of the handle, and the gaps in the ‘ears’ of the forks, where the rubber bands are attached).

The Jungle Hunter feels very sturdy, but it also feels a little heavy in the hand. It is a straight (non-ergonomic) model, and the forks have no grooves to help keep the tubing in place.

I can comfortably shoot the General slingshot using a Chinese style grip. The Jungle Hunter, is little big for me to use a Chinese style grip, though I can manage. For a hammer grip, I find that the handle is too thin, and would need lots of wrapping. Instead, I may add a wooden grip to the handle (much like Joerg Sprave did with a Panther slingshot).

Since my hands are not particularly big, I prefer the General slingshot over the Jungle Hunter.

Oh, I see. I will add water

Oh, I see. I will add water next time, as last time I just stetched and rolled the rubber.
I guess dipping the tool in water might help it to slide on the tube, too.

Stick 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.

Water?

Hi Mansell, why do you use the water for? To make the rubber slider more easily?
