here is my take on Gopher's G12, i made the palm swell to enable the shooter to not have to spread the hand so much and fitted the finger locations to my hand, put some red food coloring on the oak prior to finishing, candy apple red G12.

pinned the forks just in case, it a good shooter, i plan on using strong bands with this one

i have been shooting it alot and its very accurate, more accurate than me, but i think thats because i worked to center the forks on my hand, than cut the finger holes for repeat placement. it fits really well in the hand you cant feel the palm swell its just there to hold the palm naturally. gopher made a good design with this one.

That one is unique. I have one and it sure is a nice fun little shooter. Looks nice, man!

Food coloring? Is that a good finish?

thanks imperial, i tried mine as i was building it and it flattens my hand too much, once i put a palm swell on it it now feels like holding a ball, and since the fingers are not forced flat it seems like a more secure grip. try it, you'll like it!
