Childhood Memories: Crafting The Primitive Slingshot

Course Overview

Remember the sound of that metal ping, when you hit the pop can at 30 feet for the first time with a slingshot? Relive those childhood memories by learning to craft and shoot your very own "primitive" slingshot, crafted with a touch of grace, utility and function. Whether your interest is target shooting, roaming or plinking, this class will satisfy your needs. You learn the history of the use of slingshots, slingshot designs, and shooting techniques in this course - not as simple as point and shoot. If perfected, slingshots may be used to hunt small game. The project is made from a slab of attractive hardwood. You will learn how to cut and replace your own slingshot bands and how to safely and accurately shoot it. You will take home a wonderfully crafted slingshot, basic slingshot shooting skills, and an appreciation for this often-overlooked primitive hobby craft.
