A gent with the nickname "dgui" designed a so-called "pickle fork shooter", essentially a simple board cut frame with really low and narrow forks, OTP attachment. It shoots because of the flipstyle effect. Much like a stickshot, but without the need for a paracord loop.
I always liked the simplicity of the design, plus the effectiveness. However, I am a firm believer in the superior power of the hammer grip shooting style, simply because it allows you to draw out stronger bands.
So I combined the low, narrow fork with my favorite hammerhead handle. Carved it out of a single piece of European Dogwood (cornus sanguinea).
It shoots fantastic, of course you have to flip it (automatically happens with strong bands).
I must say that some day, I will have to make myself a knife with that handle. It is simply the most comfortable design I came up with (so far).
Simple, ergonomic and extremely efficient design. May be the best sling-shot to carry daily. It certainly won't take up much space in a shirt pocket and it can handle the heaviest bands. Well done.
ReplyDeleteDgui sent me a couple of pfs and they quickly became a favorite.
ReplyDeletenicely carved!
Wow! That is pretty cool, but have you ever thought of making one with more of a stiletto kind of handle for those of us with smaller hands?
ReplyDeleteThe handle looks absolutly great, it must be very comfortable to shoot...
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried stickshot yet....but that looks great...
