Big slingshot
« on: May 21, 2013, 11:10:54 AM »
So I am  going  to construct a big slingshot so I can shoot  my weight leader and bait in the middle of the river for stergeon. Im going to use an old  boot and cut it up so i can put the weight snd bait in. im thinking about using  that strechy tubing and 2 metal rods or metal tubing or something. any ideas?

I almost guarantee you I could sling a piece of lead farther with a fishing rod than trying to sling shot it...

What about just having loops that slide over your boots? Then just sit down pull back and let it fly.

well im  going  to drive 2 poles into  the ground get some type of elastic band and use the leather from a pair of old boots to make the pouch. i got the boots i can use alder poles and I can get the sling shot tube for 12 cents a foot. I figure 3 feet  is enough tubing for each side.
