How to make a Slingshot

Making a decent slingshot from a gardening hand-fork tool. I bought the pre-made rubber bands with leather carrier online, then followed an Instructable on something similar to this. I dug out the fork from the shed, and we already had some cammo bandage tape which was perfect for the handle. Several steps were shortened to keep the time down.

In many states of Australia it is not possible to buy a slingshot, as they are restricted, save for those as a child’s toy. So for this purpose, this example is a child’s toy.

Thank you for watching.
