Things to Consider
Copper Model
Description:Sources Things to Consider First things first. You have to decide what size you'd like to build, calculate its dimensions, and draw up a few sketches of what it will look like. The throwing arm the weight is connected to one end, the projectile in a sling on the other is most effective at a ratio of 5: So if the total throwing arm 9 feet of actual arm and 1 foot of string to the sling pocket is 10 feet long, the pivot point would go at the 2 foot mark, with the short side where the weights go, and the long side for the sling.
