    I am not obsessive about finding the perfect pouch or anything, this is perfectly normal. :confused:

    Yeah, yeah I know, just order them from Ray, I agree Ray's pouches are fantastic but where is the fun in that? LOL

I am 49 years old and have been shooting slingshots for most of my life. Started out as a youngster with a natural tree fork made by my grandfather then moved up to commercial large tube slingshots, I preferred the ones without the wrist brace. I shot a commercial marksman for the better part of 20 years with a variety of different tubes but trumark tapered tubes were my all time favorite. Then a random internet search showed me the world of modern slingshots and the rest is history. Currently I either shoot a Simple Shot Scout or a homemade slingshot made by myself or Toddy. I am a dedicated flat band shooter with .030 latex being my favorite band material.

      I hear ya. I actually don't mind making my own slingshot pouches; its become part of the hobby for me. I've got a couple stacks of old pouches just like that in a drawer. :) I now keep my favorites on these carabiners for easy access. :)

      Hey thanks for the tip, I will get some of these small biners. Yeah I don't mind either, actually really like trying to make them better.

      The pouch is the difference between eating well or not and worth every second of the effort it takes to get it right imho

      That's a brillant idea, I have some of those wire key loop thingys that will work great for this.
