.......Well the first in at least 25+yrs.

Made from a limb of a gum tree that fell in the paddock last week after a storm. Its only a little light fellow but it's good to cut my teeth on building and learning how to shoot again.

Try to trim the tube pull through at pouch end as close to the tie as possible, less excess rubber the better ;) sorry I know im being picky lol

Looks good. You might want to round the corners a little more so that they don't dig into your hands when you shoot. My first few had some rather sharp edges that I thought looked great, but rendered them slightly uncomfortable.

Ta guys.

Yeah Bullseye figured would check out Clarkies and give their stuff a go till the Theraband rocks up.

And will do on triming and rounding...although it doesnt feel uncomfortable...but I havent shot it that much yet.

Hey, that's a nice looking piece. I like the shape you've given the handle. That edge I would guess fits into a joint
crease of the fingers?
