  Hi Arturo,
  I have just started shooting full butterfly, 60" pull, with 8mm steel and WOW!
  My setup is Snipersling yellow .50 16-10 taper with 12" active.
  
  I would now like to find a setup for 7/16 steel.
  I am soon to order more latex from Snipersling and thinking of trying .60 19-13 taper with 13" active.
  
  Do you think this will work or do you have another suggestion?
  
  Thankyou sir for your time,
  Mark

    with 0.6 19 - 13 taper should work OK with 7/16 steel, if not enough speed try 20 to 22, 14 to 15 taper

    Excellent shooting! That fork is gorgeous too! I've adapted to a similar draw over the past few months, because of tendonitis.

    if you shoot some frameless, you'll be the first to shoot bareback with a laminated slingshot.

  Hi Mr. Arturo.
  Do you ever tried one of your desings set up with tubes? Or you really prefer only bands? I liked bands but i have an awkward dificulty to cut then..rs.
  Congrats for your work an ability.

    I haven't set up a CONUS with tubes, but I've shot Many PFSs full butterfly with them...It works great! It's probably not easy to do a pre-turned pouch with tubes, though. If you drill holes on a CONUS, you could set it up with tubes/SWAT...hmmm...

  Arturo,
  
  Have you ever thought of a tutorial on how you make your CONUS ? I'm sure there are many out there that would love to try to make one.
  
  I think it is of great design and I love the simplicity of it ... and of course in your hands, it is a work of art :- )

Manufactured handmade looking slingshots Costing more than handmade prices. Thoughts?
