Making method and playing method of slingshot

The slingshot is made and played as follows:

There are actually two different ways to play slingshots. One is to play by feeling or intuition, the other is to aim at a reference point before playing. Horizontal grip aiming is a very common style of play, which is deeply loved by most people.

When aiming horizontally, the four corners of the support head on the slingshot aim at the target point, the bow door is pushed straight and perpendicular to the arm, and the upper and lower rubber bands are recombined into a line. Don't pout with your back hand and then fire. If the previous action is correct, the landing point will only deviate from the target point up and down, not from the target point left and right. The key point of the horizontal grip is to ensure that the vertical plane where the slingshot body and the rubber band are located is completely vertical.

Introduction to slingshot:

Slingshot became popular in 1970s and 1980s. Slingshot is a cold weapon or a game tool. Slingshot is generally composed of bow frame, rubber band and leather bag. It is usually a "ya" shape made of branches. Rubber bands are tied at both ends of the rubber band, and a piece of skin wrapped in a projectile is tied in the middle of the rubber band.

The strength of the slingshot depends on the tension and rebound speed of the rubber band. The greater the tension of the rubber band, the heavier the projectile that can be matched, and the faster the rebound speed of the rubber band, which can provide a larger initial velocity for the projectile. The heavier the projectile, the higher the muzzle velocity and the greater the power. According to the launching mechanism, slingshots can be divided into bow slingshots and elastic slingshots. Bow slingshot has the most primitive bow slingshot and crossbow.

Rubber-band slingshots can be divided into traditional slingshots and modern slingshots, and their division principles should be based entirely on the presence or absence of sights and wrist rest labor-saving devices. For example, wooden slingshots and steel wire slingshots without sight belong to traditional slingshots, and the so-called "traditional bow" with sight formed by cutting or casting metal wire should be strictly classified into the category of modern bows.
