I made this design with the intent of creating something that was comfortable, easy to use, and very effective. I took inspiration from many sources, most notably from Wingshooters older designs. These slingshots feature no complicated mechanics, no bells or whistles to take away from the shooting (however I do pay special attention to keeping the forks perfectly parallel and level for accurate shooting). Just a good old fashioned ergonomic slingshot that is one heck of a shooter! I love them so much I pretty much only shoot these anymore!

Isaiah 40: Verse 28-31
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
