ABSTRACT:
A slingshot is operable for propelling a projectile toward a target. The projectile is formed as a body from which a pair of elastic members outwardly and nondetachably extend. The slingshot includes a yoke having first and second substantially upwardly and outwardly extending prongs and a user-graspable handgrip depending downwardly. Each of the prongs carries one of a pair of confrontingly opposed posts that extend outwardly from the prong and on the periphery of which a slot is defined. In use, the elastic members are releasably received in the respective post slots and the projectile is grasped by the user and drawn rearwardly to stretch the elastic members against their elastic urgency. When the projectile is then released, the elastic members contract that propel the projectile toward the target. As the projectile passes between and beyond the yoke prongs, the elastic members are released from the post slots and travel with the projectile body toward the target.
