I bought this for my son, slight differences with accessories, tested it out and it does feel great in the hand. I liked it enough I ordered one for myself even though I don't need another slingshot lol
I got one of these, it is a pretty nice slingshot for the cost, it comes with several bands of 2 different strengths , it is pretty accurate as well, the pouch actually works pretty well. I have a wrist rocket but it is not as accurate as this slingshot. The fiber optics are actually decent, you do need to install the optics yourself but it is very easy to do, they are not needed but I found them helpful. I am just getting into slingshots and this is a cheap way to see if you like it and is a slingshot you can use for a long time to come. Have since ordered some other slingshots from simpleshot to try just because it is fun but this slingshot is a good deal in my opinion when you look at all that comes with it.
I have one of these coming tomorrow after seeing your review. Also bought the hammer XT from simpleshot with the additional slingbow attachment. Getting my grandson into slingshots, knife and axe throwing. We both need a lot more practice and we are getting a lot of great information from your videos. Thanks.
I got one recently, for only $10! It didn't come with the acessories (pouch, targets etc) but it was enough to get me hooked on sling shots.. while waiting on my Simpleshot XL to show up :) My buddy already had one, so i took mine apart and painted it.. Cheap enough I'll just leave it in my Jeep vs the $60 Scout (I got all the extras)
I've always used marbles as ammo. The pouch with this model is too small. So when I tried steel in this one, no matter how careful I was, the ball ALWAYS hits the left (upper) frame. I've watched every video on slingshot shooting, but I still hit the frame. I should say I've never had one before that was too small for a hammer grip. Maybe that's my trouble.
Ive had one for a while and i "reshaped" it perfectly for my hand wrapped it in kangaroo and ostrich leather, got many band and pouch setups for a variety of different weights and sized ammo.. good enough to become dangerous and master the stealth art of spherical archery
The fiber optics come as two sticks of fiber optic lines which you put into the sights yourself using a lighter and scissors (very easy to do). It is your choice as to whether you install them, I like them as they help me zero in on where I need to be aiming but if I were already good at shooting I might not install them.
You could you just need to trim them down to fit your draw length. Measure your anchor point all the way to the full extension of your arm and then divide that by five. If you draw length is 30 inches cut the bands to about 6 to 6 1/2.
Got mine in the other day…it’s super accurate! Also because of you, I ordered a shepherd’s sling. You should try a Cold Steel boomerang. They are all fun! Now I have a Gamo pellet gun, a custom recurve bow, a crossbow, a Cold Steel big boar blowgun & a Cold Steel spear & tomahawk…all skills I’m learning…just to learn? I’ll be ordering a atlatl soon, and making a bolas too(need to learn knife throwing). 🙄And of course top of chain is my 2nd Amendments. 😁
I really like that black handle. Love black stuff anyway haha. These feel really comfortable to me. They packed alot of stuff in this package. A really great starter kit for someone for sure
That thing looks like its got Everything it needs. Nice Design. I am guessing that will take small game and won't take up much space in a Bug Out Bag. Thanks for another Cool video.
Hello new subscriber here and I only have one question can I hunt medium sized animals with it and can I hunt with .75 an 1mm bands and what band do you recommend for hunting?
Unfortunately sling shots are prohibited weapons in my country. They can be homemade tho. And a excellent idea for hunting small game . Great video as usual brother
1 mm are gonna have more power, but for day to day practice you might want to use the yellows, I generally keep a green one on there but I have a short draw.
Daniel i own one of these very slingshots. And to be honest I'm more accurate with it and I really like it even more than all my simple shot slingshots. And I'm not putting down my simple shot slingshots at All.
nice vid! I got one about two years ago, you're right- big bargain! I have the one with hardwood grips, love it! slinging is a lot of fun and don't take a lot of money, sling on brother! ps: just subbed to your channel.
Thanks brother I really appreciate it! If you can afford the scout I would get that one for sure but if not you will not be missing anything with this slingshot because it’s wonderful. You’ll know what I mean when you hold scout in hand. If you need a smaller version than the scout XT the scout LT is 20% smaller
@@davidviscarra9968 3/8 is most definitely best for hunting small game. 1/2 steel is difficult. It takes a powerful set o launch any distance. But thankfully 3/8 will get it done
I got another question. I know that you said that I need to cut my bands to hunt. But can I just do it without cutting them back, because I really like a full draw. Will I still be able to kill rabbits and squirrels?
All your review is saying this and that slingshot catapult are the great and excellent 😅. If this are the hardest and that are sharpest ! Please use the sharpest stab the hardest see what happens 😅.
Yes, you have to unscrew the screw to the left to loosen it a little bit. Don’t unscrew it too much. After you’ve unscrewed it just a little bit just press down on the screw, and it will open up a place to attach the bands.
Ive loved the slingshot all my Life.. allways been a good shot aswell,, until i got one of these slingshots😂 😅 cant hit shit with then and the bands are so weak your shot moves at a snails pace
I bought this for my son, slight differences with accessories, tested it out and it does feel great in the hand. I liked it enough I ordered one for myself even though I don't need another slingshot lol
Im getting ready to but this as my first slingshot. Thank you my friend.
After a lot of research and watching your videos I just ordered their 03 brown slingshot.

I ordered one last night because of your review.
I just got one. Would you suggest learning to shoot with the sights provided or without them? Thanks for all the info.
Without 🙂👍

I got something similar, different Amazon seller. It feels heavy, well built. My first slingshot since a wrist rocket in the 70's
Awesome! It has a great feel to it
Ive had one for a while and i "reshaped" it perfectly for my hand wrapped it in kangaroo and ostrich leather, got many band and pouch setups for a variety of different weights and sized ammo.. good enough to become dangerous and master the stealth art of spherical archery
Your one there doesn't have any sights on it, but the amazon one does seems to come with sights. Are they easily removable?
Yes you don’t even have to put them on. I didn’t
The fiber optics come as two sticks of fiber optic lines which you put into the sights yourself using a lighter and scissors (very easy to do). It is your choice as to whether you install them, I like them as they help me zero in on where I need to be aiming but if I were already good at shooting I might not install them.
Can I use this slingshot for hunting squirrels and rabbits with the same bands that come with it?
You could you just need to trim them down to fit your draw length. Measure your anchor point all the way to the full extension of your arm and then divide that by five. If you draw length is 30 inches cut the bands to about 6 to 6 1/2.

👏💯
I just bought one I’ve been getting back into slingshot
I'm curious what the best slingshot band style would be? Tube or Rubber band. 🤔
Bands seem a little smoother but I love tubes
From what I have seen on youtube videos from guys who compete, in general it seems they think flat bands are more accurate but you can use either.
A fine frame bro!
Nice lil frame.
I really like that black handle. Love black stuff anyway haha. These feel really comfortable to me. They packed alot of stuff in this package. A really great starter kit for someone for sure

Thanks for another Cool video.
Yes to all 🙂👍 Thanks!
just ordered one today, finally getting into the slingshot game!
Bought this one 3days ago .. cant seem to aim worth a damn. How do you aim?
I just put the top fork right under the target
@@411Outdoors not sure what you mean. Do you mean top fork under target while holding sideways? Or upright? I hold sideways cus it's easier
Hey man nice slingshot but I only have one question can I hunt rabbit sized animals with it?
Absolutely 👍Slingshot hunting is all about the bands that you use anyway.
You can get some .7 bands from Simpleshot.
Hello new subscriber here and I only have one question can I hunt medium sized animals with it and can I hunt with .75 an 1mm bands and what band do you recommend for hunting?
1 mm is a good hunting band and yes you can hunt rabbit squirrels and pheasants
Ok thanks, I am going to order it if I have anymore questions I will let you know.
Sounds good🙂👍
Unfortunately sling shots are prohibited weapons in my country. They can be homemade tho. And a excellent idea for hunting small game . Great video as usual brother
Thanks so much! Yep a good natural fork is as good as anything
Also, I know that there are two kinds of bands that come with the slingshot. So which one should I use the 0.75 yellow band or the 1mm green bands?
I would do average every day shooting with the thinner ones, but if you wanna hunt at strap on those 1 mm
1 mm are gonna have more power, but for day to day practice you might want to use the yellows, I generally keep a green one on there but I have a short draw.
What size ammo comes with the package.
I think 5/16 steel
Hey can I hunt with .75 mm bands with this slingshot?
You can 👍
Daniel i own one of these very slingshots. And to be honest I'm more accurate with it and I really like it even more than all my simple shot slingshots. And I'm not putting down my simple shot slingshots at All.
It has a special level of comfort for sure and it’s heavy. Less recoil
Nice setup, went to Amazon link to order but blocked from my State. 😔
Thanks for the informative video Brother, take care and God Bless.
You’re so welcome and I am so sorry to hear that bro! God bless you

Good review and great deal
Yea sir 👍👍🙂
thx, this helped a ton!
Anytime!
Very cool!
How do you compare this model to the scout one, need to.decide wich to purchase, i'm beginner. Great vids.

You’ll know what I mean when you hold scout in hand. If you need a smaller version than the scout XT the scout LT is 20% smaller
@@411Outdoors wich ammo is better for hunting , clay or steel ? 3/8 or 1/2 , for doves and quails. Thanks for your help

@@411Outdoors 3/8 steel better than clay? I"m just ordering my first kit. Thanks bro

I got another question. I know that you said that I need to cut my bands to hunt. But can I just do it without cutting them back, because I really like a full draw. Will I still be able to kill rabbits and squirrels?
Rabbits yes, squirrels are durable. It’s possible. If you were able to do butterfly draw that might would do it
It's also look good without scales bro
Definitely 👍

Thank you brother! I love the Scout! That’s a real man slingshot right there lol

Got 2

Can somebody please tell me how to attach the bands please???
Yes, you have to unscrew the screw to the left to loosen it a little bit. Don’t unscrew it too much. After you’ve unscrewed it just a little bit just press down on the screw, and it will open up a place to attach the bands.
