Backyard Slingshot
Nicer weather means it’s time to get outdoors and what better way to keep the kids outside than an outdoor game. This backyard slingshot can be used for a variety of things. From water balloon fights to balls knocking over Homer bucket pyramids, this slingshot will be a hit kids of any age. This project was done in collaboration with Ryobi Nation so head on over there to find the full project plans and details along with tons of other projects, how-tos, and so much more.

Hi do you still have the plans for this? The link for the plans doesn’t seem to work. Was hoping to put it together for my high school physics class
Hello! What a great project! I’d love to get the plans for this. My father would like to make it this weekend as a birthday present for my son. As mentioned below, the link is no longer valid, and the plans are not on the Ryobi Nation site.
