Also check out the less expensive polomer slings at Pocket Predator, for about $50 you'll have one for you and one for a friend to shoot. Ready to shoot, with ammo.

Bem vindo, Jeremy (pearl jam song echoes in my head...)!
I have a suggestion for a cheap slingshot! Build one! It is very funny (at least for me....). Find a branch, a nive fork, make it old school, classical on first! You only will have to buy the bands!

 

Moin moin:
another idea:
For $ 50, you get determines a used jigsaw and router, nice lease send a belt sander. This sandpaper, and already you hate a basic equipment.
Believe me, a self-made, is something completely different than what carelessly made​​, and bought ....!

otherwise:
A forked branch ......
Handsaw and sandpaper, if necessary rasp! Does not cost $ 10 .....

alternative:

eine andere Idee:
Für 50 Dollar, bekommt man bestimmt eine gebrauchte Stichsäge, und Oberfräse, schön währe auch ein Bandschleifer. Dazu Schleifpapier, und schon hasst du eine grundausstattung.
Glaube mir, eine selbstgebaute, ist was ganz anderes, als was lieblos hergestelltes, und gekauftes....!!!

Ansonsten:
Eine Astgabel......
Handsäge, und Schleifpapier, notfalls Raspel! Kostet keine 10 Dollar.....

used jigsaw and palm sander, $50. Hardwood sample, $0. Making your first slingy the way you want it, priceless. Making your own bands is easy as well, theres plenty of how to vids. In my not so humble opinion as well as personal experience, moneys better spent buying supplies, better bang for your buck. btw, welcome aboard.

 

You can get some 18mm "Baltic birch" plywood (what is called Multiplex in Europe,) on Amazon at a reasonable price (for slingshot builders anyway) and build quite a few Joerg's Y frame slingshot:

Or, you can build an extremely strong metal W frame slingshot with easily available parts from his How To Make + Shoot The Strongest Destruction Slingshot video.

Pocket Predator's economy polymer line starts at $25. Comes with bands and ammo. I own a Ranger in the Polymer and the G10, both are fine shooters.

A+ and Gopher Slingshots both have $15 wood models. Flippinout/Simpleshot has an excellent reputation, so you can't go wrong with any of them. The nice thing about polymer (Pocket Predator & Flippinout/SimpleShot) and advanced laminates (Pocket Predator) is they they are near impossible to break with fork hits. You may or may not have trouble with fork hits, but it makes me wanna cry when I split a board cut or dent a beautiful wood custom with a fork hit. Save the fancy stuff for when you can shoot reliably, IMHO.

 

I'm not proficient in english...but that didn't make any sense!

 

Again, we have failure to utilize proper punctuation causing issues. There is a wonderful little device, known as the 'comma,' which serves to break up thoughts within the same sentence.

 

You should find what you need in the links gaven from other members. I' ll add THIS ONE
Even if you pay the chipping it wont be too expensive and those are all one of a kind.

 

Get a piece of hard scrap wood from a local carpenter for free plus a rasp (7€/10$) and sandpaper. You probably own a jigsaw.

 

Some people don' t want to build a slingshot for some reasons. They are not able to do it, or they don' t have the apropriate place or tools, they don' t like making things, etc... If Jeremy posted this it is simply because he want to buy one, not make one i guess?!
