Hello,
My name is Cameron Locklar and I am a senior Industrial Design student at Appalachian State University. I will be working with Montie all summer to help design new products and help with re-designing some existing products.
One of my first tasks at Montie Gear was to come up with an adapter plate for a tubular band for the Y-Shot Slingshot. This was one of the first ideas that had been thrown around and has changed since. We ditched the nub on top and made a positive channel for the band to go around.
Next I began to work on sizing for a Titanium Y-Shot. We wanted to expand it roughly an inch in both directions. We are still working on the thickness of the Titanium Y-Shot since we are allowed to make it a lot thinner due to the strength of Titanium.
Our next project is a Starship Slingshot which is an elongated slingshot supported by the forearm. We are still in the beginning stages of the design, but we have a body form coming along nicely. We will be continuing to work on this for weeks to come.
