Cool idea from my father.
"This is the way we used to make slingshots as kids."
How did you make this slingshot today, Dad?
"That stick was a forked branch from a plum tree. I peeled the bark off it. Notice that I notched the top of the forked branches. Notice that I cut a pouch out of leather. I used a strip of inner tube rubber, I stretched it around the notches and wound cotton around to fasten the edges. Lucan stretched the rubber into the holes in the leather, and I used cotton string to tie it."

Awesome, just the way my dad makes his! go Lucan :) Have a fantastic time with your amazing family, Nonnie!
I love this blog post and I am happy to see some folks are still using car inner tubes to make slingshots like in the days past.
I have my own slingshot blog, may I share this link when I write my own post on hunting with inner tube band slingshots?
