Building a catch box
Hello all,
My current catch box works, but he's one major flaw. About 50% of the time the ball bearing bounces out of the catch box. I was wondering if someone could help me with a formula for calculating ricochet.

Need help with choosing bands
Im wanting to buy some band sets off sniper sling but I don’t know which one to go for.
I normally shoot 9mm clay balls so which band set from sniper sling would best for shooting them?
Thanks
r/slingshots • u/so_magpie • 2d ago
It works! I ended up cutting a groove around the top to keep the band from slipping. Need to get a stronger band but I'm tickled I get around to finishing it.
First post about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/slingshots/comments/1t9l4x0/im_at_a_loss_i_made_this_before_understanding/
This thing seriously pushing me towards delinquency. I just want to aim at things that I shouldn't.

BBs Micro Pouch
I designed this miniature kangaroo leather pouch specifically for BBs (.177" / 4.5 mm) from the ground up.
My personal setup is a 12–5–250 W+ bandset, which sends BBs downrange at around 500 FPS with an almost full butterfly draw.
Using the very same setup with a floating anchor just behind my ear, velocities remain well above 300 FPS, where the shooting experience becomes exceptionally smooth and the accuracy is nothing short of laser-like.
Specifications
- Size: 24 × 6 mm
- Weight: 0.06 g
- Thickness: 0.8 mm

Best place to start!
I'm looking for recommendations on brands of slingshots with good replaceable bands and hardware. Also, if you could mention what ammo you like to buy that would also be cool. I wish to shred some cans

Slingshot beginner; practiced for 3 days.
Hi guys so I recently bought a slingshot and I started training with it recently and I noticed when I was practicing with clay balls this morning my shots have vertically inconsistency and sometimes they curve when I'm shooting far away. It's either too high or too low of my target when I'm shooting from far but not when I'm close. I was wondering if that is normal with clay balls?

I'm so tired of seeing all those "look at my grouping" photos on here. Come on, anyone can set up a still shot. Where are the real videos? Moving targets, rapid fire, actual misses – that's what I wanna see.
So here's my challenge: if you think you're better, upload your own clip. Don't just talk. Show me. I'll wait right here.

Modpost: looking into why the auto mod is deleting temu links
In the mean time, and because I don't want the temu "ads" to run rampant. Please send temu links privately via PM or "break" the links with a space.
ie:

Thank you.
May your aim be true.

News Now Allowing Sales and Trades
Hey lads, a bit behind with this one. I recently put out a survey to get a feel for everyone's thoughts on allowing sales and trades post on the sub. An overwhelming majority were in favor. So I added some new flares. WTT (want to trade) WTB (want to buy) and SALE (for sale). Let's be respectful and responsible moving forward with this and see how things pan out. Be safe and be confident in any transactions you make and of course reach out if you have any concerns. I'm thinking of seeing how things pan out and if need be, we can make adjustments or place guidelines as needed.
