Thanks, appreciated. I did have a short look in that section.

Welcome and I'll tell you I have been shooting slingshots about all my life and thought I was pretty good till I found this site and saw some of these fellers shoot. Watch Bill Hays light a match or cut a card in half and it sure gives you something to aspire too. I have watched the vids of these guys shooting and tried some of their tips and my shooting has really improved. As well as learning to make some decent bands, or buying some, will really help your shooting. Chris

The diablo is nice, but I have to say there is something very rewarding when you make your own. Welcome and I hope you enjoy the forums. :)
