Arrow launching Sling-X-Bow, PLUS Win a Custom Cougar Slingshot! (2D Version)

After the great response to the slingshot crossbows presented here, many have asked if it can be converted for shooting arrows. Of course it can! This video presents a homemade, Thera Band powered crossbow that fires full size arrows (not the short crossbow bolts") at 213 fps (65m/s). The mechanism is very simple, yet effective. The weapon has a built in arrow rest that fixes the arrow in loaded condition. The result is a long, but very narrow crossbow. It is accurate and powerful. Also, at the end of the video you can learn how to participate in a drawing. The price: A customized "Cougar Limited Edition" slingshot, with hand crafted Thuja wood scales.
