I received this in the mail from our friend from Italy, Mr. Bob Fionda.

This beautifully carved and lovingly -- no, exquisitely -- finished slingshot belongs in the stratosphere of slingshot art. It is very impressive once you actually get it in your hands-- and it fits mine to a tee!

Bob included a perfectly made set of TBG target bands and a super-light pouch. Needless to say, I banded it right up and went to cutting a soda can in half in minutes.
This beautiful Blackthorn sculpture will be a treasured part of my collection and I feel honored to have been gifted with such a piece.

Thank you, Bob! I really love this piece and appreciate the work that you have put into it.

I am indeed, Papa. I am indeed. Forks like this don't grow on trees. ;)

Thanks mates, I appreciate your nice comments. Bill is a great and generous guy and he's very skilled about slingshots. He designed and made many great shooters.
