    yesterday, I made one just like that. I used heatshrink tubing for wiring on the fork ends, added heat and they shrunk down to fit perfectly cut off the excess, and the bands are safe from damage, it is very accurate. thanks, nice addition to my collection of over a dozen slingshots, ring shots, and slingbows

I ask as I struggle with the “wrap and tuck” method, as my fat fingers make it hard to work that finely.
