Lately I been working on a Sling Bow or Spear Gun depending on how it is being used. I was planning\u00a0on using it more as a fishing bow\u00a0for kayaking gigging or close to those circumstances, but after doing a little research, diving and spear fishing seems like it would be\u00a0pretty fun also so I’m not sure how I want to approach this situation, haha.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I built a simple\u00a0prototype so I could get a better idea of what I want and\u00a0absolutely LOVED IT!!!! I took a 2×4\u00a0 that was about 30 inches long and cut a simple handle on it then cut the rest of board in half length-wise.\u00a0 Then using the table saw, I cut a slot down the length of the board so the arrow I’m using as a spear or Fishing Arrow could rest more easily once the gun is cocked and loaded.<\/p>\n

I used some Surgical hose that I\u00a0used to make a rough sling shot a few months ago, I just turned the hose and satchel around backwards and using a small\u00a0nail, I mounted\u00a0the leather pocket to the end of the board\u00a0that is the spear gun or sling bow. Once it was mounted, I tied some paracord to end of hose for the arrow Nock to rest in, then I took a small piece of\u00a0copper wire bent in a loop to hook on the Trigger Assembly. I also tied a loop to help cock the gun.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0the Simple\u00a0Trigger, I took a bent nail, cut off the point with my dremmel, then using another nail, I drove in a little of the straight nail, after it was drove far enough in to make it stable under pressure, I pressed the bent nail in the slot so when I pushed down on the “Trigger Nail” it would “lift” the copper wire up off the Shaft, which in turn, Releases the rubber hose firing the gun\/bow.<\/p>\n

For the Spear or Arrow, I had an old slightly bent\u00a0aluminum arrow with damaged fletchings.\u00a0I cleaned off any fletching that was left on the shaft, then\u00a0“eyeballing” the arrow, I straightened any of the obvious bends that I could see, then put one of my “Practice Arrowheads”\u00a0in as to not damage any of my “Razor\u00a0Tip” Arrowheads. Then using my Dremmel again, I drilled a small hole through the\u00a0top of the arrow and then\u00a0cut off the “Head” of another nail, trying not to damage the integrity\u00a0and strength of the Arrow.\u00a0 I placed the nail through the hole, the bent it in a “U” shape with the points down, but loose enough that it can spin the points up when retrieving your arrow from “prey” or targets. I plan on drilling another hole through arrow towards the bottom\u00a0\u00a0to attach a line or cable\u00a0then attach a fishing reel or spool to the gun itself.<\/p>\n

I tied some paracord in a loop to help pull back to “Load” or “Cock” the gun. To cock it, I check the bent\u00a0nail to assure it is pressed down far enough, then place arrow\/spear\u00a0down\u00a0into the “Nock” then\u00a0pull the loop of paracord down to the “Simple Trigger” then point and “FIRE<\/strong>” by pressing down on nail releasing Copper Wire.<\/p>\n This is currently only a toy or prototype right now, I plan on redoing quite lot of it including replacing the copper wire with something a little stiffer. It seems to be slowly bending itself with each fire, but still seems to be working fine, just is handling a lot of force on each fire.<\/p>\n I should have used a better wood though, I just used a piece of pine from scrap pile and it really wanted to float quite a lot when I took to the creek. I may decide to use PVC pipe next time.<\/p>\n Thanks for Visiting and if you like this then don’t forget\u00a0to check out my YouTube channel Hidden Bigfoot’s Research Lab<\/strong><\/span> and then Subscribe for Updates on next Spear Gun Sling Bow Sling Rifle Builds.\u00a0<\/strong> Click Here For Video Lately I been working on a Sling Bow or Spear Gun depending on how it is being used.
