      Rubber bands break, and aren’t easy to come by in the woods. I can make an atlatl in about 10 minutes with nothing but my bushcraft knife (which I also made out of scrap metal in a makeshift forge) and “darts” (really more like an arrow on steroids) from common river cane. I’d wager an atlatl dart hits a bit harder than an arrow from a sling bow too, but I could be wrong. At any rate, the sling bow is nifty, but genuine bush skills that make use of what is found in the environment rather than relying on synthetic materials are a far cry better IMO

      Btw I am a professional writer and lifelong naturalist (survivalist is too severe, I thrive in the wilderness, I “survive” in the modern world, and just barely at that) so, ya know, if you want some new material about actual primitive skills and weapons, I’m available. I teach this stuff too.

      What would be interesting to see is how to make one from scratch, including the slingshot, by using everyday items. In case one did not nave access to a manufactured slingshot.
