A 1000 bearing only cost $23.35 for 3/8" shipped to your door ...

That is a lot cheaper then a 2 bricks [ 1000 ] 22LR and you can't recover then either ...

I suppose burning $20 in gas to lose $5 in ball bearings isn't all that bad. Now what can you do about the weight? Remember I'm hiking up to ten miles with them.

I don't think it will shoot any better then my #2 catapult I made but it will look super cool . This one below shoots like a house on fire below in pic and my other one 3 I have don't hold a candle to this one . The green one I will give it to a family with a teen or sell it to a hunter . The black one I use to launch fire cracker up to 25 yds at dogs and cats that leave the mark on my car cover . I keep it at the front door with lighter and fire cracker .

the green and black sling shots are the type I'm familiar with ..... years ago played around with that type for a while, have no clue where they might be today

I post on the other forum and I need to post it here too . I know you seen this video over there . Clay balls are light and are hard like a brick

As shinny as you are that extra weight will keep from getting blown off the trail .

Originally I got the Diablo to made a bow sling and broke the arrow rest in 25 Shot and put it on the back burner . So I have the slingshot and 10 fiberglass arrows . I fixed the arrow rest , I have a arrow string release and a arrow quiver and A extra power band and another made for arrows . I will sell all or part of it if anyone is interested . CHEAP

That was a good video for anyone interested. It starts a little boring but gets better and better. Watch all six minutes of it.
