Much to my surprise, here a 70-year old man can make the slingshot pouches.
That is a simple light weight steel rule die! It's not very professional, but the material is very good, and is made for a long life.
I think I could buy a really good heavy duty solid die to do the same thing here in the USA for about the same money , but as the blacksmith is just at our town, very convenient to buy and communicate with him. Center hole is necessary for my pouch, he just added it to the die.
I've bought 5 dies from him, and visited his home more than 10 times. After a long time of trying and testing and feedback for modifying. Now they works well, I use a hammer to cut the pouches. Making pouches with die really helped me a lot to understand the many things of slingshot shooting.
The pouches had heavy thick residue when came out from blacksmith's studio, I tried the laundry detergent, soap.. and finally found the Listerine is the best for cleaning it.
There are many funs of DIY pouch with the slingshot pouch dies, but for serious target practice, I prefer the commercial laser cut slingshot pouches
This product came exactly as what I read at the outdoors magazine.
The photo makes them look wonderful, they're truly awesome.
Purchased it as a gift to outdoors man and the guy loved it so much. The arm brace moves stiff so it doesn't flop around. As a 'sniper' slingshot, it has the average size that fits the pocket or bag well. The rare rosewood handle contributes eye-pleasing and hand-pleasing! I can say is I will definitely buy it again!

I once visited Astrolux factory. It locates in south east of ShenZhen, China. It's a middle-size building. The floor was very clear. Many workers were assembling. Astrolux official website now is non-existing as in China, the companies's website are almost useless, no user cares about it. Now you can still buy Astrolux at Taobao, please visit below link, they are 100+ Astrolux products list

I've learnt that surgical tubing is the mosted used for serious homemade slingshots. But in my opinion, 'homemade' doesn't mean you must use material in home. You can use any material as long as you make them at home. I used to buying commercial tube in meters and make my own bands at home which should be 'homemade' too.
this is one I just made. Can you image what my slingshot looks like?

gh100 is just awesome! I own a Alphas Air, Shimano Aldebaran and an Abu Garcia Revo EXD, each of them I bought at 300+ dollars. But I fish much more with my Fishband GH100 than either of those much more expensive reels.
