Err.. the thing with the wrist support thingie, tubes and such? Yes, can not even order one online anymore, especially if you live in Jersey. Then again, in Jersey, you can not even buy a regular sling shot. And kids these days, I do not see them with home made ones either that much, at all? Too busy being home, staying doped up on their prescriptions and being wired to their xboxes I guess...
Mostly made them from a wooden fork, patches cut out from an old leather work glove, and some heavy duty tire inner tubes cut to strings. Heavy duty insulated single thread copper wire cut to little v-shapes worked good as precision ammo too. Did not cost much of anything to make as I found most of the material from any number of construction sites after hours.
Could shoot anything from rocks and pebbles to ball bearings, and if needed, easy enough to get rid off and make a new one later... I have a feeling loads of folks would have been happy if I had video games growing up, heh.
