Look what I just found while surfing the great internets! Its a tennis ball slingshot, that holds up to four balls all at the same time! Oh my god, even if I didn't have three dogs I would want one... And I'm sure you do too!
I love dog toys, most of the time they are better than human ones!
Seen it before. Cool though!
It probably won't shoot the tennis ball through a chain link fence like a spudgun can.
Nor have the same accuracy level.
I built something similar but gave up on it due to it's accuracy.
There were other old models similar but with four bands.
Stronger latex bands (for exercise) are in a lot of stores too.
BTW, years ago I soaked the bands on a wrist rocket 24 hr.s in mineral oil (baby oil(?) (or mineral spirits???) Can't remember which.
It conditioned the rubber and gave it a much better feel and launch Anyone know about that??, Just wondered.
EDIT:Dang I still type slow!

*ahem*
gotta admit it was the first thing to pop in to my mind as well.
Still gotta admit it is an awesome toy.
You don't want to be my dog, i buried him 5 days ago after i accidently placed a shipping container on his head, he had a tough head too but to withstand around 4 tonnes of pressure is not easy.

Here's where you need to post stuff like this -- www.theopia.com. It is Spudfiles sister site.
C'mon, you dont see how this thread could be spud related, what with launching tennis balls and all?
Well jook13, I was hoping it would leed to cannon discussion and that's why I let it stay open in the first place, but it didn't so it's going to have to go to www.theopia.com.

@mark.f: I'm going to be pedantic. Pink Floyd's official lyrics give the line as "blue skies from pain". I know the word rain makes more sense, but... well.
