to shoot the skewer you rest the rubberband on the skewer and pull back

[aiden120000]

think about how you will fire it without the band

[Paul2Kim]

Is this safe for your bb gun?

[sharlston]

no if you want to shoot skewers from your bb gun load it and put a skewer in the end

ya know.... joining an archery club would probably be much more fun..... and most will let anyone over 10 join. the cost of the equipment can be a little steep (around a total of £300) , but you may be able to get your parents to atleast partly pay for it since it could be thought of as "extra curricula"

[berky93]

you dont seem to understand - the point of all of this is DIY. that stands for Do It Yourself. of course theres a better solution, but this is just another awesome DIY project for having fun with. plus, not everyone wants to pay 300 bucks when they could just make one of these and have a ton of fun.

you could also attach 2 black metal binder clips one on top of the other so they grip the tube tightly and then string the rubberband on 2 of the legs of the top binder clip. the rubberband is gonna be tough to draw, though.I made a plunger and then bent a paperclip to hold the rubberband to the hollow tube(plunger).

[zonemad96]

lol yeah

[cool!]

NICE!!! I made one (With a small rubber band and a mechanical pencil) in school (don't worry, got permission. My teachers are nice.) I made a more powerful one at home. very accurate. +1!

[zonemad96]

permission lol thats funny

[it_dont_work]

i got shot in the neck with one of those a school. i broke two kids nose's for it...

[flips30240]

dude!!!! using YOUR skewer gun i shot through an axe can and it BLEW UP after it LUANCHED into my wall and made a big hole!!!!!!! sweet!!!!!!!

[berky93]

lol sick. I must go try this now.

[Zetheros]

add some paper fins in the back of the skewer, maybe it'll fly better.

[flips30240]

I made sumthin just like it except i used a stronger rubberband and used a handle from one of those old fashioned wire cheese cutters. i shot mine into the wall and i had to break the skewer cause it wouldnt come off!! Great instreuctable!!!!!!!!!!

Using a toilet rool tube with a ballon worx and cut the top off a bottle and put a ballon on it fires anything that fits in it.\

[Haza]

Nice one i posted a very similiar thing made from apaper binder clip that shoots skewers through cardboard and into wood! Yours iz gd!

[gillonator48]

I modified it withmechanical pencils and sharper skewers. i accidentaly shot myself!! it really hurt!!! i HAD TO GO TO THE ER!!

no..

[Gavabc123]

Don't you have to be 13 to join, I had to wait two years to join

[pyroboy212]

all u gata do is fake age.

[hunter cd]

add a laser pen for more accuracy

[threecheersfornick]

Why don't you just use a straw? Or a mechanical pencil? It's just, the animal grabber things are like five bucks here. So I wouldn't want to wreck one.

[killuhmike99]

you could use those toy arrows frm those toy bows that u can get from the 99c store just cut the front off and yank the back off and there ya go

[threecheersfornick]

Hmmm... ya, that would work. And then you could use the bow to shoot proper arrows...

[killuhmike99]

paper arrows?
