sling shot

This is a stick sling shot that can go up to 350+ feet with a long rubber band. It can shoot small rocks, pebbles, and metal pellets.

Step 1 Getting the supplies

All you need is Tape, 1Vshaped stick, and a strong rubber band.

bet you my life it can't shoot 350 feet

maybe it would, probably not in a straight line but if you shot it at a 45 degree angle and had light ammo, for example, a bean, it could

Uumm...Your branch is to small for it to shoot 350+ feet and even then you need somthing more than a rubber band and tape. I suggest you use rubber tubing and leather.

Actually, it shoots far for its size. You don't need rubber tubing. With a tight rubber band, it has a lot of force. Although, it has terrible accuracy, it can go 350 feet roughly.

What I meant was, your branch is uncommonly small in diameter, and for serious shooting, I would try to find one that's bigger. Using latex rubber tubing available at hard-ware stores, and a leather shoe tongue, or a pre-made band from wal-mart, the power and accuracy would probably be magnified.

that sling shot was the smallest one i made. if the branch is 1 foot in diameter then it would be able to go 350+feet

Okay, I have to take back the rubber tubing thing. I found that connecting three rubber bands lengthwise, then six of these chains to each side is better. It dosn't seem to have any extra power, but it shoots a lot faster (as if that made sense.)
Also, 1/2" diameter wood is strong enough to shoot, but if you carry your sling shot in your hip pocket, like I do, depending on the wood its made of, you'll probably find that it breaks when you sit down.
