Stumbled across a posting about slingshots and thought "hey, that looks like fun"... so after lurking a bit and reading alot, I decided to nab a branch from the maple tree in our yard (when the wife wasn't looking) and give it a go.
Still need to get some decent bands for it (just used a massive rubber band I had at hand) but overall I'm satisfied with the end results.
It's got a bit of ergonomics to it, with indents for my fingers. Otherwise, it's just the natural fork.
Whatcha think for a first attempt?
