The slingshot with vertically adjustable directional member and nock for arrow projectile comprises the first and second sling members, first and second elastic members, handle, subhandle, pouch with the aperture in its center, arrow nock with projection to be installed in that aperture for fixing and centering of the arrow in the pouch, and the vertically adjustable directional member for arrow support between those first and second sling members and adjustment of the arrow gravitational effect.

An archery string having a length, a first load-bearing path, a second load-bearing path, and at least one binding. The first and second load-bearing paths are laterally spaced apart relative to each other along the length, and the binding holds the first and second load-bearing paths substantially parallel to each other along at least a portion of the length of the string. Portions of the string are not bound to each other but remain parallel and positioned side-by-side. When the length of the string changes due to elongation, stretching, or contraction, the load-bearing paths do not helically twist relative to each other and remain parallel and side-by-side.

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure describe a fitting for attaching a cable to a bow. The cable attachment fitting attaches near a cam to provide an offset between the cam of the bow and a cable attached at the cable attachment fitting.
