Materials Tools
"Y" tree branch
2-3" rubber bands
1/2"x2" Thin Leather
1' leather lacing
PVC ring
Leather hole punch
Knife

Get a "Y" tree branch about 4" in height. Cut to size and sand. Use knife to carve notches where rubber bands will attach to "Y". Punch holes in each end of the thin leather. Tie a rubber band onto each hole. Tie rubber band to "Y".

Try it out - but be careful to not aim at anything that is alive. Tie PVC ring to handle using wetted leather lacing. Tie tight. As leather dries it will get tighter and hold more securely. Wrap extra rubber bands around handle.
