The slingshot is a childrens game tool. It is generally made of tree branches and is in the shape of "Y". The two ends of the slingshot are tied with rubber bands, and the middle part of the rubber band is tied with a piece of leather that wraps the projectile. The power depends on the tension of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the greater the power of the slingshot. Those born in the 1970s and 1980s must have played with homemade slingshots during their childhood, hitting fruits under a tree or aiming at sparrows on wires. This is an indelible and eternal memory for many little boys.
To DIY a slingshot, you first need to find a suitable tree branch and cut it into a [Y] shape. Secondly, you need a rubber band, and secondly, you need a small piece of cowhide for shoe repair (in the past, children usually discarded their bicycles. Inner tubes cut into thin strips to replace thick rubber bands). Finally, find some pebbles, fruit cores or paper balls as bullets, and a homemade small weapon is completed! The slingshot is quite powerful, so don’t shoot at people!
How to play
1. Place the bullet on the leather string.
2. Hold the wooden handle with one hand and pull the leather string firmly toward the inside of the body with the other hand.
3. Relax the leather string and use the elasticity to shoot out the bullet.
