The reason I want to win this bamboo slingshot is simple I'm a panda living in the UK,bamboo is hard to find here,

and as bamboo is a tasty titbit for us panda's,so any tasty morsel of bamboo would be most welcomed

Thanks for the chance to chomp on some nice bamboo

Hi congrats 3000 yikes
I should win the prize because my Wife doesnt smoke or drink-In fact we have nothing in common.
She does however never stop talking-This prize will help get me outdoors and away from her constant nagging. :naughty:

After being a member of slinging.org (think David and Golliath) for several years, and finding that at my best, I MIGHT be able to hit a car across the street, I have decided to switch to the more modern and more accurate sling shot. I have since joined slingshotforum.com, and I have been learning as much, as fast as I can!

I'm an engineer who has been unemployed for over 2 years, and I'd like the option to feed my family with noiseless tools, such as one of these fine A+ slingshots. I have been reading, and dreaming of my re-employment, mostly so I will be able to afford the modest sum for a modern slingshot.

I have made a nice back drop using cardboard boxes and an old welcome mat. I have tested it with a decades old wrist rocket, and it works great!

Thanks to Perry from A+ Slingshots and everyone who makes the slingshotforum.com possible,

Rocky

Why should I win the prize? Well I've always loved slingshots, but have never owned one myself. I have made my own but not very good quality since I'm a student and don't have much money. To have a high quality one like this would be awesome!!

I believe i should win because of how much i have sacrificed for the slingshot love... I am ostracizing myself by talking too much about slingshots and by spending all my freetime working on them instead of building relationships with my fiance and friends.
since i joined this site a few weeks ago, i have dedicated myself to the art of slingshot making and have worked hard to establish friendships with some of you.
I think i should win because if i do, then i will share something that i win with someone from this site.. i do not know what yet or who, but i believe this place is about sharing and i want to make sure i do.
I love the prizes and I really want to try shooting arrows.
i love this site.. love u guys.. this is my entry.

Congratulations on 3000! Aldo thanks to Perry for putting such an awesome package up for grabs.

I'd like to win because shooting slingshots is something I really enjoy. I enjoy marksmanship of any kind including archery ( and this package provides that too! ) but because of my location I can only shoot slingshots at home. All other shooting requires a drive. So I get a lot of shooting time with slingshots.

Also I only have a cheap wrist rocket and two homemade slingshots, so I'd love a chance to work with a professional level product.

Thanks for the chance!

I should win just like any of us could win for one sole reason, and I believe Gary Flatband Miller said it the best in one of Jorg's videos about the ECST: "I LOVE SLINGSHOTS!"

Made a plywood slingshot when I was about 15. Used innertubes and leather from the tounge of my dads work boots. Lost it. That was 50 years ago. Need a new one. Quick!

Wow!!! Lots' of views but few sign-ups so far. :question:
I know I'm biased, but this is some of the finest work I've ever done, and is Heirloom Quality!!!
I really enjoyed the challenge of making this special set for Aaron and the Slingshot Forum when he asked me.
I appreciate the opportunity to give some back to this great community and forum.

Good luck everyone!!
Perry (A+) Adkisson :thumbsup:
