Well I've been dying for one of the multi coloured plywood slingshots from Flippinout but there is no way I can afford one so instead I took an old slingshot and made it feel like a new one. It's kept me going for a bit longer

It's a Gamekeeper John Target Shooter. Stripped back and reshaped to fit where my fingers and hand travel perfectly. Lanyard hole added. forks have slight grooves in to help centre the tubes that it will have, then some random filing and sanding to give some cool random patterns in the ply. Finished with clear yaught varnish which gives a nice golden brown colour.

Nice modification. It is very hard for a maker to custom fit a design to suit everyone. But we are often afraid to alter something we have purchased. Good on you for having the nerve to tackle this.

Cheers ..... Charles
