The Sharpshooter

The Sharpshooter was made in Beeville, Texas in the 50's. The frame was made of plastic, maybe bakelite, and had a well thought-out pattern with several advantages. The flat bands were simply pushed in slot-like holes. The slingshot was shot "over the top", the bands ran over the top of the slingshot, reducing wear on the attachment and improving accuracy. The handle had a small angle and the fork could be supported by the fingers.
