Deadly sling-x-bow made from my old christmas tree

This is a video specifically for the survivalists amongst my audience - because if you find yourself in a TEOTWAWKI situation, you will have to hunt down your food as supermarkets will be looted in no time. Of course you can make a slingshot very easily if you have some rubber, but without practice, a slingshot is worthless as a hunting weapon.

A slingshot crossbow is a different issue. It allows you to hit small game from distances between 10 and 30 meters easily, even without any kind of practice.

But how do you make a slingshot crossbow when you are out in the wild, without power tools, without a DIY market for the parts?

Bill Hays (he is a vendor and fellow enthusiast from the slingshotforum) recently brought up the info that a slingshot band does not need a fork, simply an edge to be pulled over - like the end of a 2 by 4 or so. I decided to work on that concept and love it! Thanks Bill.

This video shows how to make a very accurate slingshot crossbow from tree branches and twigs, with nothing but a pocket knife as a tool. So as long as you keep some rubber in your BOB, you can make a very accurate and effective hunting weapon in a couple of hours.

Of course you can use any tree branch for the weapon, but in this video, an old christmas tree is used for the stock/frame of the weapon. This adds a nice touch to this The Slingshot Channel production!

Ho-Ho-Ho My God the SlingshotMaster does it again!!!

Yet another simple but deadly design Bruva Jorg, Thanks for sharing!

Love it!
I'm going to make one using that design. I'll try to get mine to look like an assault rifle. Freakin' badass Jorg! Keep 'em coming.

There is one thing this weapon is missing and without it, it is worthless. It needs a name! My suggestion: The slinginator 9000.

But in all seriousness holy shit I wouldn't want to see what a larger rock would do if you hit someone with it.

I made many mean looking crossbows, so I like the "bush" optics of this one. Plain and simple.

So... have you named it yet? Cause I think slinginator 9000 is awesome, or the slingmaster 3000, or Super slinger 2.0

How about "Bush Buster 2000"?

In the UK I think Our Xmas trees are called "Evergreens" so I would call it an "Ever-mean"

Wow! I never though of something like this!

Hey, can you show some of the crossbows?
