I am offering as a prize a Milbro Proshot Piranha Catapult for the Best Pocket Slingshot.

The particulars are:

1. The slingshot must be small enough to comfortably carry on your person all day, everyday.
2. It must be powerful enough to be considered, at least, a light hunter (I'm thinking a squirrel).
3. It must be designed in such a way so that from the time you start reaching for the slingshot in your pocket until you get your first shot off cannot be more than 5 seconds. (I am presuming it will have to be pre-loaded in some way to accomplish this.)
4. Though it is not essential, I ask that you actually carry it all day for at least a couple of days.

The slingshot I carry every day meets these criteria. I'm interested in seeing other shooters ideas.

The contest begins today and will end July 13 at 12:00 midnight Pacific Standard Time.

So long as it meets the requirements it's OK.

If it meets the requirements. Though I'm trying to figure this one out. It looks more like a sling than a slingshot (catapult)

the band is elastic. it's red rubber but looks pale in the pic. i think the band on a sling is leather or string or something. not sure.
I was wondering if what I am using has a different name. I've been carrying another with a smaller pouch with me for a week or so.
I made this today because I needed a bigger pouch with a pocket for rocks.

[Winnie]

I think I'm going to require that the slingshot have a handle. Just bands and a pouch isn't quite what I had in mind. Having said that though check out:

Very cool and really creative. It looks like some sort of a clip, like you'd see on the end of a booster cable.

[kooniu]

not exactly, this is clamp (converted) I showed this idea in march (small version- http://slingshotforu...lamp-slingshot/) and this Tournaments mobilized me to finish the bigger version .
