I seen this on You Tube and found video on how to make it . I had the cord around the house so I made 1 . The pouch and sling is all 1 piece of cord . Yes I know I have too much time on my hands .

I'm pretty sure that's the same four strand braid we used in the boy scouts to make whistle lanyards in the 60s. Very cool, TXG.

When you shoot marshmallows can my mouth be your target?

There is no way I can shoot it after 3 shoulder operations on my right shoulder and the last one failed and blood sugar me for eating the marshmallow too . But if was fun to make the sling and try it 1 time . :roll:

I like this one better than the other slingshot but can't imagine carrying a few dozen golf balls.

My 4 wood catapult I think they are pretty and super accurate . I can hit a tennis ball almost 50% of the time at 10 meters and I'm getting much better with them . The other 2 that I have don't hold a candle in my hand to the wood ones and I will sell them to a good home . :D
