Very cool!!! I want

[Velhet]

Any update about it ?

I would like to be the proud owner of one of those little beauties !

[flippinout]

Barring anymore production problems, I expect them to be ready to go within 7 days. They will be available at www.flippinoutslingshots.com.

[flippinout]

Finally!!

They are ready to go. I ran into many more problems with production than anticipated but the final result is fantastic. This slingshot can be customized in many ways, from intricate paracord wraps to using it as a core in a laminated slingshot.

This slingshot is 100% Made in the USA, can shoot any elastic you care to put on it from flatbands to full size latex tubes, such as the RRT. It can be banded for over the top, through the forks, and can even accommodate chained rubber bands.

They are not yet on the website, but are available now- just send me an email to flip@flippinoutslingshots.com

Pricing:

Paracord wrapped, as shown with 1842 looped tubes and SuperSure bonded leather pouch- $59.95

Unwrapped with 1842 looped tubes and SuperSure bonded leather pouch- $54.95

Unfinished frame for using as a laminate- $35.95

very nice! they look awesome sandwiched in a laminate and wrapped in paracord. Definitely one on my wish list

[Beanflip]

How much difference is there between finished and unfinished? I have been looking forward to this one for a while. PM sent.

The finished slingshots have had the edges radiused, the fork tips and hole have been polished, and the whole frame has been vibratory tumbled to achieve a uniform finish.

The unfinished models are simply frames that have been deburred- no further finishing was performed.

The unfinished models will make the best looking cores for laminating but both will work.

Thanks Nathan. They look worth the wait.

Those are entirely too cool! I lost track of this thread a while back, but am glad to see if came through for ya. I think I may see a line of steel core frames with the signature laminated tips and teardrop palmswell in the future????

[Tex-Shooter]

How are the tips finished?

[flippinout]

Anywhere the elastic can touch the frame has been polished smooth and edges have been radiused. The edges of the entire frame have been radiused and then tumbled. The inside edges of the holes have been chamfered first, then polished.

These slingshots are not shiny polished all over like Dankungs, I don't have access to cheap labor. Rather, they are more of a matte finish as a result of the vibratory tumbling.

Great Video! I do like the thicker frame.

The wrapped para-cord models are simple and "no-nonsense"! I bet they will shoot very good.

My Wife really likes the one on the left ( Pink/blue) in the first picture.Women should jump at these

I am going to have to save up my pennies.

I've ordered mine, can't wait - I've been looking forward to this model for a while!

[pop shot]

i ordered one with 6 lbs of 5/8" steel!!! the steel will be fun...

[squirrelsniper]

Could you please list the dimensions of the frame....I have some wood I would like to use on one but it might be cutting it close. Thanks

[orcrender]

I got mine Tuesday. It has nice orange and yellow cord wrapping. Due to back pain I have not shot it yet. Holding it felt good; I liked the solid feel of it.
