Product Information

Effectiveness — To me, an effective slingshot fires ammo at high velocity with reliable accuracy — bonus points if it’s easy to carry. But a young or less strong shooter may like a slingshot with a wrist brace to help them stretch the band. Target shooters may be willing to sacrifice power for accuracy.

Do I really need a forearm brace?– The forearm brace is there to provide additional stability. So the short answer is “Yes. If you want to increase the odds that your shot will find its target.” With smaller, less powerful slingshots no wrist/forearm band is necessary because they’re more naturally stable. We would recommend that all new shooters begin with a light draw band set and start with either 8mm steel ammo, clay or plastic practice ammo, until confidence, technique and most importantly the ability to shoot safely is fully established. Light bands enable you to have greater control over the slingshot, bands and release technique. Shooting is much more fun if you can actually hit what you are aiming for!A: I only recommend hunting small game for food with a slingshot — rabbits, squirrels, fowl, etc. Most experienced slingshot hunters agree it’s not wise to shoot at game from more than 10 to 20 yards, and it’s a good idea to have a hunting dog with you in case you injure an animal. In fact, many slingshot hunters carefully research effective setups and ammo for killing game as cleanly as possible. Keep in mind that the most accurate slingshots often feature flat bands. Q: How fast do slingshots shoot?

So, when I got the call to review slingshots, I was all in. I studied videos made by passionate slingshot masters and taught myself to shoot with a lot of repetition. As a well-informed novice, I intend to provide a platform for shooters at all levels. Choosing the best replacement bands for your slingshot can be a frustrating process because quality and performance are critical, but durability is a major factor too. SimpleShot is a trusted name in the slingshot industry, and since their inception, they have built a reputation for excellence. It is no surprise then, that they would lead the way with an innovative protectant for their heavy pull power bands. A recent buying guide substantiates this with an assertion that these are the most durable slingshot bands ever. In addition, both left and right bands are cut from the same length of tubing, improving balance for enhanced shooting accuracy. This is great news irrespective of whether you use your slingshot for fishing, hunting or competitive shooting. Tungsten Carbide — Research into the topic continues, but tungsten carbide is most likely toxic, so I don’t recommend using it. It’s a high-tech alloy used in saw teeth, drill bits, etc. My question isn’t “what makes it good?” it’s “why do you need it?” Copper — Strongly consider copper ammo if you’re planning on taking game with your slingshot. It’s heavy and malleable, like lead, but non-toxic. Using lead ammo is one of the worst things you can do for your local hunting grounds: it’s highly poisonous, and it makes its way into the food chain through fragments. Copper ammo gives you the best chance to make a clean kill in the field.We’ve gathered together a few excellent options. Your final choice will largely depend upon your intended use, whether we’re talking hunting, taking care of critters that are after your garden produce, or just plinking at cans for giggles. At the end of the day, the best slingshots are ones that will deliver the payload with authority while being easy to handle. Modern slingshots have made enormous strides in improved design and durability when compared with traditional home-made slingshots. Designed for comfort and performance, slingshots have found their niche’ in many different sports and outdoor activities ranging from hunting to fishing. However, these advancements also mean that slingshots often require specific replacement bands and tubes. Versatility — Shooting power and portability are the main criteria that affect a slingshot’s versatility. For instance, if you’re hunting, you should make sure you get the most powerful slingshot that’s easy to carry and shoots steel ammo very hard: you don’t want to leave any animal injured, and a fast kill is best if you’re taking game. A slingshot that fits this description should also perform well as a target shooter, but it may not be for shooting inside or for a kid. This length is measured from the fork end of the band to the knot that holds the pouch to the band. We also recommend that you don’t max the bands out by over drawing them, or cutting the bands too short this will give a reduced band life.

If you want to shoot 7/16" steel slingshot ammo and want a durable band that will last a long time, this is a great choice. Modern slingshot enthusiasts have a lot to thank Charles Goodyear for. In 1839 he introduced the world to vulcanized rubber, patented it in 1844 and the rest, as they say, is history. While the connection with rubber might be obvious regarding tires, it revolutionized slingshots too. Although traditional slingshots were totally DIY, they paved the way for modern hunting slingshots. Rubber bands and tubing have evolved to deliver exceptional strength and distance. Slingshots make effective hunting and recreation tools, but like most things, they can wear out over time. That’s not to say the slingshot itself will wear out, but there are various components, including the rubber bands, that will.

A slingshot is an extremely effective tool for hunting, defense, and similar pursuits. They are effective enough that laws have been enacted to control their use in some areas. Whether you’re trying to harvest a rabbit for dinner or just keep that groundhog from stealing lettuce out of your garden, a slingshot is a powerful and effective tool.
