I would say grab some from that 'other' slingshot forum. Better yet, make your own, I made a couple that are pretty good myself. It is not hard at all. I just used a ruler and a cup to draw the center. The cutting part is all that is the trouble. You cannnn doooo it!!! :rabbit:

 

What do you mean by "Skil saw," A circular saw or a reciprocating saw? I like John's designs, but originals are fun. A trick I use to draw symmetrical patterns is to draw 1/2 of the design on one side of a center line. Then, turn it over and trace that half design on the back side in bold black ink, and then fold the paper along the center line with the black ink inside and then trace the missing half. Presto, a perfectly symmetrical pattern. Good luck.

 

when i started with building my own slingshots, i thought too, that designing is hard, but it is not. draw a big Y on the board and cut it out. Or you draw the shape on a piece of cardboard, so you can "feel" your design.
