Abstract: An elastic band projectile slinger has an elongated base forming an elongated projectile guide track along its length. A pivoted support plate on the front end of the base anchors a pair of elongated elastic bands which are stretchable to a releasable latch adjacent the rear end of the base. Release of the latch is controlled by a finger-operated trigger. An elongated arrow projectile is positionable in the guide track with the rear nock end of the arrow engaging a cord joining the rear ends of the elastic bands. The front end of the arrow has a point member of magnetically susceptible material and is secured in the guide track by a magnet mounted on the base. When the trigger is operated to release the latch, the contraction of the elastic bands moves the latch rapidly forward, releasing the elastic bands to contract in the forward direction and carry the arrow forwardly therewith.
