Sling Shot Innovation

By: Logan Brian Hall

Problem

• The problem was having the part of the slingshot you pull back slip out of your fingers.

Why Did I Choose This Subject

• I choose this subject because I hate slingshots.

• With my model I made it so that the slingshot would work better and I would enjoy them more.

What I Enjoyed Most

• I enjoyed making the slingshot so it wouldnt slip from my fingers.

• I am also looking forward to seeing the joy on peoples faces when they shoot the slingshot with my attachment.

Procedures• Made a hole in the pouch.

• Put the hook through the pouch.

• Bend the hook downward so that it wouldn't be pokeing out.

• Hammered the point of the screw so that it would be much safer.

Problems Encountered

• The slingshot was hard to shoot in the begining, but after I got a technique down it shot a lot better.

• It was also difficult to find a way to position the hook so it wouldnt be in the way.

Results• The device I made was a success. I was

able to get a better grip and pull it back better.

• The hook didn't add much to the slingshot but made a huge difference.

• It was not only better for pulling it back, but it was better to aim with as well.

What I Learned• I learned that some slingshots are very

cheap.

• How to get the angle of the slingshot right to get a accurate shot.

• How far to stretch the slingshot back to fire it a certain distance.

Things I Would Do Differently• What I would do differently is making the

way I put the hook through the leather sling different.

• Try to make a way so the hook wouldn't affect the position of the projectile.

The Most Challenging Part Of My Project

• The most challenging part of the project was getting the projectile in the right place so I could shoot it well.

• It was also a challeng getting the hook so it wouldn't interfere with the projectile.

Acknowledgments• I would like to thank my dad for getting me

the supplies I needed for this project

• I would also like to thank the websites I used for the information for this project.
