Shooting fun in the sun

Great weather this weekend, perfect for some shooting. Banded up some of my slingshots and having fun!


I also tested a slingshot I finished this morning - a customized Cougar that I traded with a Gentleman from the US, who gave me an original and official flag from the 1972 Olympics (Munich) in return. It is quite big, about 2 meters 50 x 1,60. I have no idea what to do with it, but it is rare and I like that.



He wanted a wooden handle. I chose cedar wood, very nice red colors and fantastic smell. I oiled it with linseed oil and then polished it - came out nice! Shoots well in hammer grip and excellent in support grip.

  1. Looks nice, i,m planning to do the same with my homemade cougar. Offcourse a question: what did you use for the black fork rubber?

  4. Zufällig las ich heute in einer Zeitung:

    "Neonazis halfen beim Olympia-Attentat 1972.

    Nach der Auswertung von Geheimdienstakten steht fest: Deutsche Neonazis halfen beim Massaker in München."

    Nicht, dass dich da jemand ins rechte Eck stellt.

  5. Da fällt mir noch etwas zur Flagge ein:

    Als Bodybuilder könntest Du lebensgrosse Portraits von Sergio Oliva und Arnold Schwarzenegger daneben hängen. Für die Beiden war 1972 ja auch irgendwie denkwürdig, denk' ich ...
