The use of slingshot for hunting may seem wing and perceived not seriously. But having received sufficient practice, the hunt will become interesting and successful. Of course, no one uses a slingshot for hunting for a large beast, but birds and small animals can shoot quite successfully.
A slingshot for hunting - what is it?
The hill hingshot may be externally similar to a conventional slingshot, and may have a modern ergonomic design and to be equipped with additional options, such as an adjustable handle and convenient support for hand.
Differences of hunting slingshot from normal:
- silent shot;
- simplicity and convenience of construction;
- high speed shot;
- use special metal balls or arrows, instead of pebbles.
Homemade slingshot for hunting
For the manufacture of such a slingshot, metal, plastic and wood can be used. Hunting slingshots are distinguished by a large variety of forms, it is especially concerned with wooden slingshots.
For the manufacture of slingshot, it is enough to choose a conventional branched branch. In the simplest version, the bark may not be deleted.
Production of slingshot for hunting with their own hands
Regardless of the method of manufacturing and material, the width between the horns should be in the limit of 4 to 7 centimeters. The length of the horns and handles are selected individually. These values \u200b\u200bdo not affect the success of firing, but the convenience of arrow depends on them. Note that a slingshot for hunting should not be too thin, because it will have to withstand shooting enough heavy balls. The horns must be the same thickness and be located at the same angle to the handle.
Trees slingshot
Trees are suitable for making slingshot:
- ash;
- maple;
- oak;
- nut.
You will need a split branch either a piece of the board, if you want to cut out of wood with your own hands. With the help of the jigsaw, the slingshot of the necessary form is pushed. Please note the slingshot should not be flat - it will be inconvenient in hand. If you found a good branch, it must be cleaned from the bark. The workpiece is necessarily grinding emery paper.
Attach the gum in several ways.
- At a distance of 1.5 millimeters from the ends of the horns are made by small slits on the width of the gum. The gum is winding around the horns and is tied on the knot.
- We make the same slits as described above, but we apply rubbing so that they become a continuation of the horns.
- At a distance of 1.5 millimeters from the ends of the horns, small holes are drilled in which rubber bands are drilled. Tie the gum must be firmly, so that it does not jump.
Epoxy glue slingshot
You need to buy any epoxy two-component glue and make a slingshot of the desired shape and sizes from it. When pulling the handle, take the workpiece into the palm and slightly squeeze. If you squeeze the heat too much, then when shooting you will be uncomfortable to keep it.
After the adhesion of the adhesive, we proceed to the crossing of the slingshot of the 5th layers of the paper. It is best to alternate a newspaper and monophonic paper - so you will see, whether the surface was sick with a new layer. After drying all the layers, holes should be drilled at a distance of 1.5 millimeters from the upper edges of the horns for gum. On the one hand, you can slightly expand the hole, thus the nodule hides in the excavation and will not hang around outside.
The product is grouped by the sandpaper and ground with a mixture of chalk and pva. After that, it is overwhelmed with a fine-grained sandpaper and paints. Such a slingshot looks very attractive and is not inferior to the qualities of wooden.
Gum for slingshot - make the right choice
The slaughter of slingshot depends on the correctly selected gum. The fastest shrinking and most powerful is flat latex. Rogatelights most like the manufacturer Thera Band. You can buy this latex in any sportswear - athletes use it in their workouts. From the purchased latex carries the strip thickness of 1.5 centimeters.
Than shoot from hunting slingshot
For hunting is extremely not recommended to use traditional pebbles when each shot can become decisive. Different weight and different dimensions will not allow you to work automatism when shooting.
As shells, it is customary to use a cart 8.5 mm. It is always on sale, it is cheap enough, but it is possible to shoot with it enough.
Slingshot for hunting to hunt
Birds and small animals beat from such a slingshot. The slingshot perfectly showed himself when the game was hunting, which rises almost out of her legs, namely:
- pheasant;
- grouse;
- partridge;
- woodcock;
- great snipe.
With increasing distance, the efficiency of the slingshot decreases sharply, so it is possible to shoot the duck, but it will be difficult.
Before going hunting with a slingshot, it will not be superfluous to practice well, set up the length of the gum and pick up a convenient position for shooting. If you have never shot a slingshot, then at first you are hardly falling into the goal. But trained, you can safely use a hirch for hunting.
