pure gum rubber is exactly that "pure rubber" Its hard to find in sheets that thick and I've only seen it in its natural color. look in your local yellow pages,or on the net for "pure gum rubber".

Jamie,
I just went to their site, and asked for a free sample. I don't know what they'll send, but I hope it will work.

DSV,
A wrist rocket is a sling shot whose frame is tubular aluminum that passes down through the hand, wraps around the back of the wrist for additional support, and then goes back up through the hand again. Because you don't have to hold the handle with you hand alone, but use the leverage of your wrist for support, it makes more powerful sling shots possible, and that's why they call them wrist rockets.
