Re: Michigan Jeepers Loose member to strapping accident..
How many slingshots are made with a hole in the end where the projectile
slips through?

Re: Michigan Jeepers Loose member to strapping accident..
You need some basic physics Matt....
The strap is stretched. When it lets go it heads back in the opposite
direction it was stretched from sending any loose pieces ballistically
in that direction. No matter a clevis, hook or dowel, they 'all' go the
same way if the loop grabs them and takes them along for the ride.
Think sling shot.

Think David and Goliath.
My straps have loops like pockets, not holes.
