Hi there,
I am a new member on this forum.
This is the first slingshot i made. I call it HammeRed because the design is from Joërg' s Hammerhead and my real name is Redouan( everyone calls me Red). I also want to give it a red color touch but i take my time, don' t want to do something i' ll regret.


I am, now, working on a new project. Also base on Joërg' s Flying Buttress and have more projects, all inspired from you all guys. I checked out the shared section and now, my brain is hurting me.
Thank you all for the PDF sharing.
BTW the slingshot comunity rocks!!!

i am working on the hammer head myself, but in red oak, i know the design is for plywood, but i could not find any decent ply in my area, might have to special order it, anyway i am going to taper the forks like a feed ramp in a firearm to leave the rear thick and in case of any fork hits i am hoping the feed ramp will lessent the blow, if not it still a beautiful ss. good job

The bands are from Kettler. They make only two kind of bands, medium and strong. I can' t find Thera- Band here and i don' t like to buy things on the net. But they are pretty good, the purple one is the stong and green is medium. I don' t know if they are as good as TB.

never tried those. they shouldnt be too diffferent from thera band as long as they are latex.
