Woops that should read a big fan of naturals ...
Oh heck either way works

I think you got it right the first time. Hooters, shooters, what's the difference????

Just a General overview of what rocks your boat this past year guys

Voted the way that I have been shooting up till recently. My tastes seem to be changing a bit after the purchase of two flatband models; the Hathcock sniper with single theraband flatbands and the Ebay BikeMikearchery aluminum slingshot that I wrapped in parachord that has double theraband flat bands, Both of these shoot fairly accurately with walmart 5/8 inch marbles from the craft section. I appear to be shooting more accurately with both of these between the post shooters than I did with the Trumark and Marksman slingshots and tubes.

I use taconite, it varies in sizes and sometimes is not really round. Saludos .

Must say that I'm surprised at the size of the gap between boardcut fans and naturals.

[Sharkman]

Boardcut with tubes. 3/8" steel.

I went for board cuts pureley because i have made more however I do love the look of naturals I also like shooting pebbles and marbles if I'm out of steelies

Here I am, a year later, and pretty well settled on one favorite frame, shown below. For power, I now use mostly tubes, from 2040 Chinese tubes up to TheraBand Red. For everyday plinking I like a single strand of 1842 tubes and .304 caliber lead ammo. My frame delivers over 300 fps with light tubes and ammo and over 20 lb/ft energy with heavy tubes and ammo.

What's your favorite type of slingshot?

That’s hard I voted board cut but only because the right natural hasn’t found me yet.

Natural hybrid?

[Jakerock]

Pouchless bent wire composite board cut with chained tubes. Radishes for ammo.
