Intro: Cardboard Disk Shooter

Shoot cardboard disks at high speeds, with just a rubber band! Fast and easy to make!

STEP 1: What You Need...

Piece of cardboard at least 3 by 3 inches, scissors, pencil, rubber band, ruler (optional), circle template (optional).

STEP 2: Draw a Circle

Draw a circle with a 3 inch diameter.

STEP 3: Cut Out Circle

Cut out the circle and draw a line right through the middle.

STEP 4: Cut Triangle

Cut out a triangle at bottom of line (this is hard to explain so look at the picture).

STEP 5: How to Launch...

Pinch rubber band, pull back, and let it fly (again, see picture)! Please leave a comment and give me any suggestions. Thanks.

Well... you could use a triangle... or a circle with jagged edges... but circle is the best.

Build something to hold the rubber band for you; you dont want this to hit your hand.

Not really an instructable worth righting "Cut a circle bit of card, flick it with a rubber band". But well written.

A video of how good it does would be helpful, but good instructable otherwise.
