Oh yeah. We were always on the lookout for the perfect willow crotch and
there were always old inner tubes around. However, I have had them break.
Sometimes, because they were not tied off well enough. LOL While in High
School, I made one out of stainless steel wire, model airplane rubbers and a
piece of glove leather. Really great for BBs.
