How to make a slingshot from what. Powerful steel slingshot with their own hands. Proper selection of material

Attention! Hunting with a slingshot in the territory of the Russian Federation is prohibited, this information is provided only in order to familiarize. Observe the rules of hunting and legislation of your country.

Many experienced hunters are rather contradictory to such a type of weapons as a slingshot of a hig. And for this there are reasons, since, without silenting in this form of weapons, it is difficult to imagine what it can be better than a gun and carbine. However, the horta hunt has a number of advantages, it is worth reading the "subject" in more detail. For example, using a shooting from a slingshot, you can successfully hunt protein, hares, ondatra and outer. There were cases when a small boar was even shot from the slingshot. Therefore, very often the choice of hunters falls on this type of weapons.

What is a hill hingshot?

It is necessary to start to figure out, from which parts consists.

At first glance it may seem that its device is elementary:

Pen or base. The harness is attached to the handle, which helps hold the slingshot in the hands when shooting;
Harness - during tensioning saves energy for a shot;
Penets - keeps in the capture shell during a shot.

The first material used to create homemade slingshots is a tree (cherry, oak, apple tree and others). To do this, chose the most dense and tight branch in the tree, then with the help of a bellus tied the supports of the slingshot. This design was left for three months in order for it to acquire fit form and secured her. Only after the acquisition of the form, the branch drank from the tree, the bark was cleaned. The form was burned on open fire and grinding the cloth.

The main element is a rubber band, it is necessary that it quickly returns to its original position after the shot. On the base, an elastic band was put up to 30 cm long, and it was not tightened into one, but in several layers. Fixed harness with small stripes to the base, they are called "Cuttings". The tips of the gum are attached to the penet. Taste is a small piece of leather with two harness holes. The skin is suitable, for example, from the old belt.

Advantages and disadvantages

Each hunter will ask the question, and what are the advantages of this type of weapon?

Advantages are enough to choose this type of weapons for hunting:

This is quite inexpensive.
High power shot with minimal noise.
The radius of the lesion is up to 10 meters, and there are models with a radius of lesion up to 70 meters.
A rifle or onions is difficult to wear unnoticed for people, and the slingshot for hunting with her small sizes will notice.
If the hunter is well prepared, then a shot from a slingshot can be carried out in an instant, and due to the lack of noise, the second attempt can be implemented in a few seconds.
A hortal hink can be used in any conditions, even being on a walk or fishing, because you can hit any goal within reach.

But there are several drawbacks of this type of weapons:

A small aiming range and a small slaughter range compared to a gun.
Because of the little strength shot, there is no possibility to hunt on large animals.
Harness very quickly wear out.
For successful hunting, the hunter must have a great experience and a good aiming skill.

Principle of operation

So, what principle does this compact and rather powerful view of weapons on the hunt? Slingshot classic sizes Can fit calmly in the hunter's fist.

What a slingshot consists, have already figured out, but how it works need to be studied in more detail. A projectile is placed in the harness or elastic band. After the projectile is embedded, the rubber band on the sides need to stretch, after that aim and from one movement to release the leather insert with the projectile.

The shot itself occurs according to the following principle: with a sharp reduction of elastic bands, the kinetic energy from it is transmitted to the projectile. This energy is enough for the projectile to develop speed up to 80 m / s, and the range can develop up to 200 m. These figures will depend on what material is made of a slingshot, what is its design and the type of ammunition.

The types of ammunition are quite varied. It can be:

Plastic balls different sizes - Used to workout and test firing skills. Using multiple.
Fraction, metal from metal of various sizes. Used directly on the hunt.
Small and medium stones.

Technique shooting

How to use slingshot for hunting and make the most successful shots falling exactly to the target? Hunting with a slingshot may become pleasure if you know the shooting technique.

The main thing in the hink hunt is aiming and a hunter stand. That is, you need to understand the essence, how to shoot from the slingshot. First consider the aiming technique. Basically allocate two techniques: instinctive and targeted.

Instinctive shooting

The essence of this method is that the hunter is "on the eye". At the same time, two eyes are focused on goals, slingshots and penets The hunter sees only peripheral vision. This way the goal is achieved rather intuition rather than vision. If, on the sensations of the hunter, the direction of weapons and rubber band is correct, then the peel itself falls down. The advantage of this type of aiming is that the projectile flight distance is automatically calculated. And on the hunt, the calculation of the flight range is very necessary quality.

Also, the advantage will be what it does not matter which eye it sees better. The minus of this type of aiming is that changing the slingshot or gum on it, you will have to re-master the aiming technique, because the trajectory of the projectile movement changes from qualitative characteristics This type of weapon. In order for the shots with an intuitive aiming to be accurate, you need to be able to mentally represent the trajectory of the motion of the ammunition. And this requires experience in shooting, which can be accumulated by shooting banks or targets. In the learning process, it is necessary to constantly represent what line the projectile will fly, try not to blink during the shots, see the point in which the shell falls after a shot.

Aiming with the eye meter

When shooting with eyemeter, the results are more efficient. Any little reference can be an eye on the sight, which lines on one line of the eye, the adaptation itself for shooting and target. Landmark can be made independently. The meaning of the aiming will be that kissing eyes, the slotter sight will be built strictly in a straight line. For this type of aiming, it is better to use one eye with a vision sharper. The second eye can be closed for convenience.

Most often, when using an icebreaker, penets in a stretched position will be located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe face from the side of the lead eye. But you can not forget about the convergence, which can significantly steal the quality of firing. Therefore, the sight of the slingshot needs to be put on some removal so that the lines intersect at the location of the target. It is convenient to use an eye when several models are used for hunting, with a different tension force and shot quality.

Depending on the hunter's rack, and depending on whether it moves or stands on the spot, you can distinguish between several types of aiming and firing:

Aiming technique while driving - Hold the sight motionless during the movement is a very difficult task, almost impossible. But this type of equipment does not require complete immobilization from the hunter. The sight during the movement should move along the line, similar to the eight, laid the side, or along the line of infinity. The point where the circles will intersect, should be a point of purpose. In fact, the meaning of the aiming will be that the penets will be released when the line of sight coincides with the location of the target. It is important here to act quickly, because great importance plays how quickly the penets will be released. When accumulating experience, shots will be obtained by ladder and accurate. The line of sight can move on other trajectories. Some use horizontal or vertical movement sight.
Fixed aiming technique. With this technique, the sight should be attached to the target, fix it and make a shot. With the experience gained, this technique gives a very high result. To achieve high results in this technique, the main thing is to learn how to hold hands with weapons in a fixed position as long as possible, and when shooting makes minimal delay, about 6 seconds. Mostly such a tactic is used when shooting from sports slingshot.

Safety technique

When shooting from slingshot, it is important to comply with safety equipment so that instead of the beast you are not injured:

when hunting with slingshot always needs to wear safety glasses;
do not aim in animals, if you are not going to shoot them;
always need to see who or what is behind the animals in which they give;
do not shoot in the air through the hills and buildings if the goal is visible not good;
wear a rickest.

The same rules act when shooting from sports slingshot.

Hunting tactics

You can hunt on small animals or birds, such as hares, ducks, proteins.

Highot hunting tactics are somewhat different from hunting with other types of weapons and has some features. In this case, the hunting tactic is to get to the beast as close as possible, or to lure him out of the hole. In this case, the ammunition is exhausted silently and at the first unsuccessful attempt there is a big chance to make a second, more successful shot, since the animal may not notice and not hear the first shot.

Overview of popular models

Nowadays the market presents huge selection slingshot for every taste, but there are among them the most popular models of factory production, and not homemade slingshots:

Slingshot for hunting company Dankung - This is a powerful slingshot for hunting. Easy in the design, perfectly performs its functions. Made of aviation aluminum, its weight is about 200 g. It is the main advantage in the accuracy of shooting, which is provided due to narrow horns. Ideal for hunting.
Combat slingshot companies Gloveshot Made of anodized aluminum, for convenience in carrying it can be disassembled. Rogatina is wide, which is why the shooting accuracy is reduced, however, with constant workouts, the accuracy increases at times.
Pocket Predator Hathcock Target Sniper - This combat slingshot is perfect in hand, and when shooting does not cause unpleasant sensations. The base is made of steel, which is surrounded by a layer of rubber. Can be attributed to sports slingshot.

Model FS-1 TRUEMARK On the market for more than half a century. It is easily ease, there is a hoof for charges. Farm for hand can be removed.

We do with your own hands

Cate for hunting can be done with your own hands, it is not very difficult.

Materials that are needed to make a slingshot:

wood, plastic, metal for the basis of the design;
rubber for slingshot;
a piece of skin selected.

Tools that will be needed to make a slingshot with your own hands :

lobzik (if the slingshot is from the tree).
sandpaper;
scissors;
drill.

Stages of work

How to make a slingshot for hunting without spending a lot of money and time, described below. This is the most common and elementary model for hunting.

Best of all, such a tree like a nut, oak, ash or maple is suitable for hunting. It is necessary to find the split branch of the necessary form or cut the slingshot of the desired shape and size from the wood array. If the choice fell on the branch, then you need to clean the breed from the bark.

Using sandpaper, the blank is grouped. Then the place is prepared for fastening gum. Two slots are made on the handle, in terms of gum. The distance from the end of the horns should be about 2 cm. The gum is wrapped around each horns and is tied by a node. The ends of the gum are superimposed on the horns in such a way that they are the continuation of each of the horns, and on the site of the slots in the handle need to be tied with a fine rubber band. All holes and slits are better to sand perfectly so that the gum will not wear too fast.

Saddle of the slingshots are better made of 3x5 cm, cm. Small holes are made through the edges, through which the gum has been done and the node is tied. Elastic - this is the main part in this device. An elastic band can be replaced by applying harness for slingshot. The slingshot for hunting is ready!

You can make a slingshot with your own hands from other materials - for example, to make a blank of metal or plastic. Powerful slingshots with your own hands can be done if special attention to pay the quality of the gum, I have not pragged on it. It is better to buy rubber for slingshot from a company manufacturer, which has all the necessary physical characteristics. Homemade slingshot can be worthy alternative factory model. Plus, you can do the slingshot with your own hands under the size of the Hunter's hand.

Video

From our video you will learn how to make a slingshot with your own hands at home.

"Carving a knife. Crafts From the branches "- a book that is necessarily useful for this summer boys and those adults who do not consider the folding knife with dangerous poles in the hands of children. First of all, having mastered the main, it is worth making a slingshot - a real, durable and very strong. Today's master class on the manufacture of slingshot will show with their own hands, how to implement it.

I became interested in slingshots in childhood, completely natural, just like onions with arrows, various traps, houses on trees and wind guns (for firing through our wonderful bamboo tubes we used small clay balls). Although not to all that I did with my numerous slingshots, I can be proud of, it was fascinating, and it is also useful too - for example, you could get a mango that hung out in an inaccessibility far on a thin branch.

This work, of course, was for two. One stood under the huge, beautiful, mature mango, and the second stood aside, armed with a good slingshot with charges from solid immature guava or nuts. Naturally, the goal was not mango. Freshness would be unlikely to damage him. The goal was a long stem over mango. If the "bullet" cut it off, then mango fell right in his hands (as I wanted to hope for a waiting catcher.

So, here is the components of the stamping of Brazilian, Mata-Grosu brand, model of the 1950s (modernization of 2005, author of Lyktemann): a fairly symmetrical sling deciduous tree; A high-quality rubber medical tube (the thickness depends on the tension force you need), a piece of durable skin for the penet and the tooth thread (yes, yes, the tooth thread! - You can with menthol, you can not smell, and I usually use a waxer).

Here I have to admit that the boy in the jungle I used the old good rubber car chambers of the tire, the tongues of old shoes and laces! But I suspect that today it is difficult to find a car chamber from real rubber and it is very difficult to meet a leather boot tongue. As for the dental thread, I do not remember how I began to use it, but it works great! She is very durable and does not slide when they are tied.

You will need:

Symmetrically (in reasonable limits) branching branch of the deciduous tree
Schucker for grinding - a pair of types from small to very shallow (150 and 220).
Rubber medical tube good quality
Leather for peel (saddle, fifas)
Dental floss

Cut the handle to the length convenient for you. Round up branching tops.

This particular slingshot we will remove the whole bark. In some of our slingshot, I left part of the bark - depending on the species desired to me.

Cut out a shallow "neck" at the upper ends of the slingshot.

Cut the tubes at the required length, making the allowance for the fact that their ends will be wrapped around the ends of the slingshot, and fold through the neatly cut holes with your skin.

When cutting out these holes, act very accurately, necessarily making the edge of the opening smooth, without burrs and cuts that can lead to a rupture of the peel.

Bring elastic bands to the slingstery must be added together! One holds a slingshot and pulls the elastic band (its "tongue" should be outside of branching), and the second, pulling the thread, is tightly wounds the thread on the gum and takes it.

Do not save a thread! Fold it twice and use a long thread. And tie several nodes in the process of winding.

As an additional consolidation, I will cross the thread several times on the front side of the elastic part of the gum and around the cervix.

Reliable tie gum (also pulling them) to both holes penette.

Ready! Slingshots can bring a lot of pleasure and use if used correctly. In some places (for example, on dumart sites) There are special limitations on slingshots like throwing weapons. Be sure to check before applying. That says it all!

The branch we used for this slingshot, although from durable wood, though, probably, somewhat thinner than I usually took for the rubber applied by us. The branch would be more complicated - the one in the photo below.

Next time we will make a wooden plug for burning something delicious at the fire.

No matter how trivially sounded, but our childhood was much more interesting than that of the current young generations. Girls after classes were in a hurry to the courtyard with rumbers and skumps, and boys, throwing portfolios after school, and at all from the hands did not produce their slingshots. And no one then bought them in the store, and everyone did his own. Today, children have become houses, spend more time at a computer or with a tablet. Maybe it comes to this article, some kind of boy considers it interesting and will take advantage of the advice given in it. And it will be about how to make a slingshot with your own hands.

You can make a slingshot from the most simple girlfriend. The most common and simple option is a tree.

How to make a slingshot of a tree

Required materials and tools: a stick Y-shaped, a rubber band, a piece of skin (rubber), a knife.

You ask how to make a slingshot quickly, so that now it is to put it in turn? Of course, from the branch.

To do this, it will only be necessary to find a suitable stick on the street, the right form and is quite strong so that it can withstand the load and could not break. Stick and will be the basis for future slingshot.
Extra sprigs and knots need to be cut off with a knife.
Next may need to dry the workpiece if the twig is fresh. To do this, you can use the ordinary oven.
The next step will prepare the thrust. You need to take any elastic band, measured the necessary length and make two traction.
At the edges of the branches, in places of attachment, it is necessary to make a deepening so that the gum does not slide.
Next you will need to make a platform for the projectile. It can be a piece of leather or rubber. Need to give it rectangular shape And around the edges make holes for gum. It is convenient to use the hole, but if there is no such, you can make a slot with a knife or scissors.
Next, there are completely elementary actions - the connection of all parts into a single design.

Homemade slingshot from board or plywood

You can go on a more sophisticated way - cut off with a jigsaw of the board or plywood base for slingshot.

Sharp corners will have to round the emery or sandpaper, either wind the handle. Most likely, each house has a tape. The lovely slingshot will come out, given that the tapes are different colors. You can also use soft skin or other material to be easily fixed, it will not slide on the handle. Excellent idea It will make a name or some symbol on the handle or horns. Previously, it was fashionable to burn various patterns on wooden products With the help of a soldering iron on a tree. In the case of a slingshot, he can also come in handy.

Slingshot from the wire

Since it is also very easy to make a stamping from the wire, any boy can take advantage of this way.

Required materials and tools: wire with a diameter of 2 mm and 30-40 cm long, rubber band (cash or fishing), pliers and knife.

As you have already guessed, the basis of the slingshot will serve wires.

Wire must be folded twice.
Approximately in the middle of the ride both end of the wire in different directions and adjust up. Next will need to take advantage of the pliers to make the horns smooth. Bottom part Blanks - wire, folded twice, and will be a handle.
At the ends of the horns, approximately in a centimeter and more from the edge, with the help of a stationery knife or the usual, it is necessary to gently cut the insulation so that it can be removed, and then put it back.
In the resulting cylinders from the isolation, you need to sell ends of the gum and return the cylinders to the previous place. Now they are tight enough, not giving a gum to slip out.

Here's how to make a slingshot with your own hands using wire.

How to make a slingshot from a bottle

Unusual option, but also a very simple design.

Necessary materials and tools: normal plastic bottle, ball and knife.

To make such a slingshot, you need:

Cut from a bottle of neck
Attach a ball to it.

Everything! Make faster than telling how to make a slingshot.

Than you can shoot

All these slingshots are used for entertainment purposes. Shells for them can serve any round berries such as elderber or rowan. You can also make self-made slicks made of thin aluminum wire. To do this, cut the wire 2-3 cm and bend the letter V.

You can also be interested in how to make a powerful slingshot.

Powerful slingshot

This design is no longer so simple, but also by the forces of each wishes.

Required materials and tools: metal wire with a cross section in diameter 5 mm and about 70 cm long, 2 medical catheters No. 22, a piece of skin, stick, tape, pliers and tweezers.

Using pliers, you need to give right shape Wire. Cutting it twice and form focus, handle and horns.
Then, if there is a soft rubber or dense foam cylinder, making a pass-through hole in the center, to turn onto the wire and pull into place of the stop. This is necessary so that the wire does not give a hand. You can also simply wrap the iso- or any other tape.
Next you need to trim the stick of the required length, trying on it on own hand. On the sides of the stick make grooves under the wire.
Insert a future handle into the workpiece and wrap the tape or secure another material.
The ends of the horns also need to be insulated.
Now you need to prepare a platform for shells. In the leather rectangle it is necessary to do two holes.
Next, you need to cut off the tips of catheters and make small holes in them along the edges, to push the catheter into the leather. Through a hole made using tweezers, cover the other end of the catheter into the hole and tighten. The same to do with the other hand.
The free ends of the catheter should be put on a slingshot, having inamped them with any alcohol.

The article choses the best options for how to make a slingshot of the house. Take advantage of one of them, but do not forget that it is impossible to shoot in people and animals! It is better to make your own little shooting, where the objectives will be cans. Invite more friends and having fun together time. At the same time it will be possible to boast of "personal weapons."

The slingshot is a U-shaped device for throwing various shells. It is used for entertainment, hunting for small birds or fish, and sometimes as a weapon. There are many types of slingshots that differ mainly by materials from which they are manufactured. So, the slingshots can be made from oddly strange horns, plastic or wire. But the most popular and easy-to-manufacture and use is a tree slingshot. It can be easily bought, but you can make a slingshot with your own hands. What now we suggest to do.

Before proceeding to making a slingshot from a tree, you need to figure out which parts is a slingshot, and what materials will be needed for its manufacture. So, the slingshot consists of 3 parts:

actually a U--shaped part for which the throwing harness is attached and for which to keep a hand;
a throwing harness or a string, which is pulled during throwing;
and the saddle (heel), in which the projectile is placed and is held there when tightening the harness.

To make a good stamping from a tree, the first thing you need is to find a flexible branch of the U-shaped. It is desirable that it was a thickness of at least 1 cm, otherwise it can quickly break. It is better to make a slingshot of oak, maple or ash, the Christmas tree is not worth J. Then the branch should be dried, clean from the bark, so that it is smooth. It is not necessary to clean the branch, but both will be better to sit in your hand and not to crumble.

Then you need to pick up a suitable sliding harness, while it should be simultaneously durable and elastic. For this, the usual rubber band is suitable or harness from 1.5 cm thick and about 20 cm long.

Saddle (or leather) for slingshot is made from a piece of durable fabric 3x5cm., For example, skin. In the fabric you need to make 2 holes on the sides, then cut the gum into 2 equal parts and turn through holes and secure the node or wrap a thin rubber band.

To make a slingshot need to consolidate a gum with a saddle on a branch. The most convenient are the following attachment methods:

make small slots thick with the selected gum "On the horns" of 1.5-2 cm. From the top of each "horns" and then tighten the gum into these slots and tie into the node;

make small through holes at the same distance so that then stretch the gum through them and tie the nodes so that the gum does not jump out of the holes during the tension.

make small slots in the same place, arrange the rubber band perpendicular to the slots and wrap it with a fine rubber band and consolidate.

The slingshot is made with their own hands, it remains only to find shells for throwing. The most suitable shells for slingshot are stones with a diameter of about 2 cm. Rounded shape or chestnuts. As you can see, make a slingshot at home is not much difficulty, since all materials can be easily found. But if you want to make a powerful slingshot with your own hands, then you will need not completely rented materials. Powerful slingshot Capably makes heavier shells with greater speed. To do this, it is necessary to find a thicker and strong branch and replace the usual elastic band with a folee 22 litter or rubber medical bandage. It is quite difficult to purchase them, however, if desired it is possible. Then it is necessary instead of one row of gum, to make 2 rows of harnesses so that heavier shells can be thrown, and finally increase the size of the saddle.

There is one more original option How to make a stamping from a tree - make it from the pencils (mini crossbow). This video describes in detail how to make a slingshot of pencils.

As practice shows the best slingshot This is the one you have done with your own hands, because only she will sit in the hand "like this".

Of course, you can just buy a slingshot, the more exist and "steep" sports slingshots made from newest Materials, with an emphasis adjustable by the handle, etc. Type This:

But remember, do not shoot people, especially be afraid to accidentally get into my head, and in general, be careful always

The slingshot has long been perceived not otherwise as an attribute of protection and attacks all the boys in the yard. Per easy way Its models that can be made with their own hands, she became a favorite toy and even weapons in adult men for shallow game. Currently, the slingshot is still very popular and has unconditional respect among boys. of different ages. Despite its external simplicity, it can be produced from each other, as well as the material used.

It is erroneous that the opinion is that the slingshot is just a small mini weapon for hooligan boys. A professional slingshot in the hands of a fighter can be a real gun with which it is not terrible to go to the enemy. To get such a weapon block, specialists use the highest quality material: titanium, carbon fiber. Supplemented by a laser pointer or collimator sight, it was often used as a guidance of order with riots. More combat slingshot is used as the first "assistant" when firearms were not appropriate. The destinies of the slingshot are not spelled out, each applies it for different purposes. Later we describe the ways, without which you can do without a slingshot, but it is easy to facilitate work. Let's look at what the slingshot is needed, how to do it yourself and understand which material is preferable in everyday life.

The slingshot is a throwing weapon in which the projectile acquires the kinetic energy of the potential energy stored in a stretched elastic band.

The origins of the emergence of rhotshota

The meaning of the word "slingshot" on some unreliable sources was due to the word "horns". After all, the truth, they have certain similarities. It is often compared with the catapult, only in this case is a miniature device. Like many inventions that lived to our time, the slingshot was created by Leonardo da Vinci. The initial device was a slingshot with no rubber, and instead of it on the axes there were special rollers. Inside there were springs with polyspers. The cord is attached to them, when stretching which springs are stretched and form conditions for accurate and long shot. Over time, such a mechanism changed the simpler replaceable rubber.

What is a slingshot

Slow slingshot does not have a complex mechanism, nevertheless, it is divided into several important nodes:

The body of a slingshot consisting of a tree less often from the metal;
Harness for throwing, with which energy accumulates;
Peeling, heel or saddle. Used to hold the projectile. It may not be absent if the projectile acts as a metal bracket.

A slingshot, such a standard model, is mainly made of wood (walnut, cherry, elderber). For an ideal form in the form of the letter Y, young branches are taken as a basis, young "horns" are associated with each other and in this form they are left for approximately two months. After that, the form of the correct slingshot is formed.

A serious approach to the production of slingshot causes accuracy in the symmetrical placement of the roar relative to the bottom handle.

After two months, the slingshot is subjected to sleep. In order for the device to acquire a strong look, it should be cleaned from the top layer of the crust and dry by wrapped in the material, about two weeks. Then slingshot burns on open flame. From this point on, the perfect thickness and surfaces are achieved using sandpaper.

Proper selection of material

The body of the slingshot.Becoming an amateur young man, a slingshot is found from metal, plastic, wire, wood, cardboard. Naturally, the material from the listed is metal, and then a tree. It is often more common to a tree slingshot due to the fact that the complexity of the metal does not always be used at home. Plastic is no less durable, even mechanical exposure to him is not terrible. Cardboard is suitable except for playing with children, but you should not underestimate its pulp throwing force.
Select gum. According to numerous reviews, the most suitable option is the rubber cable shells. The easiest option is the medical harness, but only because it can be bought in a pharmacy. Many advise the Bint of Martens, GP gas mask 5. Very durable and durable is considered surgical drainage tube From latex, but it is very difficult to get it. More simple options We use those about the slingshot only for the game, for example, the tires from the ball or the bike tire use young men. It is available, and throwing properties absolutely correspond to their needs.
Penets. Always always it always has a rectangular shape. The material from which it will be made should be durable and ensure reliable wear resistance. Usually - this is the skin, less often suede, Dermantin.
