Nice... I like the roundness of the front and back. It makes it feel like a perfect natural I'll bet. Beautiful combination of woods. What are you gonna rig it with if not done so and how does it shoot?

Thank you very much foreigner that is my intention that looks as natural as possible
will be that I have yet to make custom long bow, I tell you that these woods are native tomy region ipe much as the next thought I have agreed to build it in ipe guatambu (thelighter color).
It is built to use any particular band or tube I use latex tubes on the outside 8mm and 3mm double seats inside, they behave very well and is a very powerful shot

Thanks again
Regards Gabriel

Very nice interpretation of ZPD. I liked the combination of color and soft lines.

Besides I am happy to see another fellow Latino.

Superb job on this one amigo. That is a professional job!

I don't know if you hunt your Argentinan doves with a slingshot but if you do I would love to see some reports in the Hunting Forum section of this website from you.

Excellent work and I hope to see more slingshots from you in the future.

I would love to see the way you rig your tubes on this slingshot. And your work is very very good, a beautiful slingshot it is.
