Hi everyone,<br><br>I really enjoy making things (like longbows and knives) so I thought I'd try my hand at slingshots.<br><br>Joerg has some really great designs and you guys seem like a good bunch.<br><br>Looking forward to seeing what I can do.<br><br>Mike

I feel strange being the first to greet you being a noobie myself but wlecome to the slingshot forum, always good to see another craftsman take up a hobby.

<span class="postbody"><br><br><br>tokSick, there are many good resources for making bows. <br><br>The book series The Traditional Bowyers Bible (4 books) is the definitive work on wooden bows. <br><br>For online resources, primitivearcher.com has a lot to offer. (sorry as a newbie I can't post a hot link)<br><br>There is a lot to learn on which woods make good bows and then which designs work best with each type of wood. <br><br>Please let me know if I can answer any questions or help out in any way.<br><br>Mike</span>
