A 145mm x 20mm piece of blackthorn given to me by marcus sr in reality its a Kubaton but I put two holes into it and added 1745 and a Rayshot mag pouch so I could carry it around and shoot with it as well you use the same rules as the pfs and its held horizontally...WARNING this is a beast and if you don't know its limitations it'll come to bite you and hard!!!,it can only be shot one way as I've described and its a fun little shooter.

I could try video WCDB but since parting from my Panasonic FS30,this cheap bush camcorder is pants,you might not see much

I, too, am curious about how you are shooting it. If you could video the beast in action, I would be delighted. I am a bit of a fan of stick shots because of their simplicity.

Cheers ........ Charles

Inspirational, you have to Love it!! -

No reason you couldn't band it with TB or 107's. Can't hit your fingers, a big plus. SS to make (sh*t simple). I can see the first competition with this being to see how many you could make in an hour. Everything really brilliant is simple, like E=MC Sq'd

As simple as this is, I'll bet there are a lot of tweaks and modifications posted. I can think of a couple myself. I have kind of a challenge ... lets see how much we can do with this brilliant frame, and that definitely includes you Charles.

[marcus sr]

i like that john,looks good

[slingshot_sniper]

Here ya go guys like I said the vid will be sh** quality,I do hate myself for having to get rid of my best camera to pay a council bill

I hope you can make something out,I zoomed it and tried to brighten it too,failed lol

[Charles]

Thanks so much for doing the video, John. Now that I see how you are shooting it, all becomes clear. Very clever indeed!

Cheers ........ Charles

[slingshot_sniper]

Well Charles the idea is to have in your pocket so you can plink away and also should need be you have a Kubaton at your disposal,cheers

Just wondered, does the handle not tend to rotate as you draw ?

No when I grip something it stays where its put but I did use to tear phone book in half

[slingshot_sniper]

Can't edit anything ATM site is playing up


You can even roll the tubes around the baton for a shorter draw if you like

Awesome! A horizontal stickshot. I love the simplicity of the stickshot, but I shoot only gangsta style and haven't had any luck shooting the traditional stickshot that way. I'm gonna try one of these out. Many thanks!

[philly]

Nice john, you are a brave soul, I assume you rotate the bands to the top when at horrizontal, correct?

I will point out to you simply! please don't try this side style...it'll bite!! keep it horizontally and you'll be fine bands must be top side and twist the pouch

[lightgeoduck]

NIce, I was trying to figure out how to use a wooden dowel and flatbands this way. I wanted to find something to replace using my index finger for bareback.


Thanks for sharing the video as well

Have not seen one mounted like this. I may have to look into this.

[Bri]

A great idea slingshot_sniper and thanks for sharing, the blackthorn is a sturdy wood for this type of slingshot.
I have some blackthorn sticks in the shed so I'll give it a go. But before I do what do you mean by twisting the pouch.?

Cheers Bri

[slingshot_sniper]

Hi Bri what I mean by twisting the pouch is this:

your thumb will be pointing to the sky,you'll have to twist the pouch to achieve this


[edit] With this one I'd recommend soft shooting first and DO NOT try with stick vertical especially indoors as the ammo will hit the stick and it will always find a window or expensive ornament Murphy's Law lol
