After getting feedback from some of the guys that have the Recurve Hunter I have made a few adjustments. They are minor but help in the overall feel and shootability.
I will use the double slot tip with the band groove. It allows for a lot of different band or tube setups. The out side band groove keeps the bands or tubes in the same place for each shot. It also can act as a buckhorn sight for the target shooter. If anyone wants a dedicated over the top setup or a single slot I will make it.
I widened the waist section of the handle to make it stronger. The finger area is designed to be used by both left and right hand shooters.
The handle has raised slightly and the palm swell area has increased in length to fill your hand even better. This helped make the slingshot more stable and comfortable at the same time. Also for all those that have ask I will have some different color combinations as soon as I can get them.
A big Thank You for all the guys that made recommedations.
Roger
