ABSTRACT:
A slingshot-like tether toy which includes a handle and a ball which are connected by a single elastic cord having a stop formed or fastened between the handle and the ball. The elastic cord is adapted to pass into a slot in one edge of the handle with the stop engaging a handle surface adjacent the slot to tension a portion of the cord as the ball is drawn back prior to release. Upon release, the stop disengages the handle, and the ball continues its travel towards the target. The entire elastic cord acts as a tether to return the ball to the user.
