Fully functional Wookiee Slingbow

[Dudleywigley]

Hello all!
Inspired by the mighty Joerg Sprave's "how to" video on his slingshot network on YouTube, I decided to make my own and "Wookiee" it up. Here's the results:

It was extremely easy to make, bits like the paracord and rubber easily available on ebay. It's powerful too and even in my unexpirenced hands quite accurate. Go on, admit it - you want one don't you?

He's hugely entertaining - even shooting some of his videos in 3D - why? because he can!

That looks really awesome!; do you have any pics from the movie to compare it to?

I used the general Wookiee weaponry from the ROTS visual dictionary as a design cue - it's not a complete replica but a kind of homage to their design principles - lots of brass, mahogany and it actually works! Wookiees love bows so I thought what the heck...

I see myself spending a little time in the shop soon.

And some nice Wookification on your model, Dudley.

In all my years as an archer I've never seen something like this. Very interesting!
