US 5,632,262 A · Compound sling shot

Abstract

A compound Sling Shot is disclosed. This Sling Shot uses a shortened pair of resilient compound bow limbs which are horizontally mounted to a rigid center body. This body is substantially divided into an upper and lower section. The upper section is supplied with a projectile or barrel hole. The upper section is further equipped to hold the bow limbs in the horizontal plane. The lower section of body is a hand grip having an attached forearm brace. The bow limbs are supplied with cams and a common compound bow string configuration. The firing portion of the string is supplied with a dual string separated by a projectile pouch. In this configuration the dual string holds the projectile pouch in correct position. So as a projectile is fired it passes directly through the projectile or barrel hole on the upper body section. Thus, a sling shot with substantial power and accuracies is disclosed.
