After all, these things are potentially dangerous&#8230; When we were young in the 80s and 90s, people didn&#8217;t think too much about this. (Neither did they think about the sugar content in food or smoking indoors, but I guess that&#8217;s another topic). If you&#8217;re &#8221; fearless&#8221; and want to relive your own (thankfully carefree) childhood, here&#8217;s a short, straightforward tutorial: how to build your own slingshot in no time!<\/p>\n<h2>What you need<\/h2>\n<p>Two wooden plates<br \/>\nA plastic straw<br \/>\nA binder clip<br \/>\nThin wooden sticks or similar as projectiles<br \/>\nA rubber band<br \/>\nSuperglue<\/p>\n<h2>And here&#8217;s how! <\/h2>\n<p>Glue one wooden plate to the other orthogonally in the center, and to that in turn you attach the binder clip with glue in the back third.<\/p>\n<p>Cut a rubber band (strong enough), and attach the two ends to the other wooden plate so that you can stretch it and hook it to the clip.<\/p>\n<p>From a small piece of straw you make a kind of guide or barrel, which you attach to the plate in front of the binder clip.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can use &#8220;projectiles&#8221; such as thin wooden sticks to stretch the band to the clip and thus load the slingshot.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you squeeze the clip and thus open it, the wooden stick is fired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how far can you shoot with your slingshot?
