Hey there, just thought I'd show off my slingshot. Not only is this my first post on the site, this is my first decent slingshot that I've ever owned. I owe the inspiration for the mods to dallasdeadeye, I hope I'm writing that correctly. It's a Trumark S9, and since I can't leave anything alone for more than five minutes, modded it so it wouldn't have the rickety plastic bit in the middle. I've since installed the bands, now I have to wait for the alcohol to dry before I give it a test. I may also add a lanyard, I don't really want to lose it. Anyways, enjoy, and expect me to post up a few more shots when I can get some good field testing in with it.

Looks real good that way.

I've always said the S9 is a great beginner slingshot. I reccomend them to people all the time.
If you turn it around so the prongs face foreward it can be a very accurate flatband slingshot, too.

I really like it so far. I did some shooting with the red bands, and it's really accurate. The plastic ammo holder bugged me though, so I did away with it. Now I just have to wait for the bands to completely set. It's driving me nuts, I want to shoot it but I can't. XD

I have an old daisy that I might try something similar with.

I say go for it. The paracord wrap is easy to do, and it feels really good. Plus, I can just put the slingshot in my back pocket, it doesn't take up much room.

Nicely done!

Looks nice. when I wrapped mine I put an empty 308win shell casing between the handle so it would not flex when shooting.

Their red tapered bands shoot nice.-let me know how the black bands work.



Anyone out there try to bend the arms so it can take a loop set-up?

I have at least four of them. I believe one reseller uses this model as a basis for his slingshots that have either pink or black shrink wrap though he does spread out the forks a bit. I have one where the plastic has been replaced by a cedar block and then foam tennis tape wrapped around the handle, mainly because the cedar block felt sharp in the hand. All are fitted with paracord lanyards.

im liking the para-cord wrap!

[quarterinmynose]

Very nice wrap! You inspired me to play with my daisy a bit. I have a set of those black bands on my s9, those things are a beast.

Very nice, some of you chaps do some awesome wrapping modifications to handles. Something I might try in the near future
on a few of mine.

Sean, if you want to learn how, there's a guy on youtube called Tying it all Together. He shows awesome tutorials on a lot of different paracord wraps. The one I used is called a cobra weave.

[Devoman]

Looks great!

Trumark with 1745 tubes.A pain to slide tubes on forks. Works decent as a short range plinker.
