Product Information

I’ve been interested in bushcraft since I was a kid. I spent endless summers exploring and mapping the creek at the end of my neighborhood. Shooting BB guns (always for target practice, never for dinner) was one of my first passions. My childhood gave me a deep respect for nature and all animals that I still have today. Ammunition Weight: Different types of projectiles have varying weights, from lightweight steel balls or clay ammo to heavier ball bearings or marbles. The weight of your ammunition greatly affects the force and trajectory of your shot. The heavier the ammo, the more energy it needs to go flying toward the target. 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. The innovation of the Theraband system allows for both positive and negative force on the bands. Designed to allow users the freedom to cut and tie their own lengths per individual preferences and needs, the dispenser offers slingshot enthusiasts a bumper supply of tailor-made replacement bands.

When it comes to slingshots, the draw weight doesn't matter anywhere near as much when choosing the right bands for hunting or target shooting or for determining how fast your slingshot will shoot.

Shoots 3/8" steel with a vengeance and can be tuned to shoot a wide range of ammos with a enjoyable draw weight.

I take slingshot safety as seriously as gun safety — 1) never aim it at any living thing you’re not prepared to harm, 2) familiarize yourself with your weapon before you use it, and 3) keep it away from small children. Q: What animals can you kill with a slingshot?

Flat latex bands are a game-changer in the world of slingshots because of their unique ability to maximize velocity even at a lower draw weight. Modern advanced latex allows shooters to experience an unprecedented level of efficiency and precision because it's not merely about raw power; it's about achieving that power effortlessly. In the world of slingshots, it's crucial to understand that draw weight, a term borrowed from archery, does not directly influence the power or velocity of a shot. Instead, this is determined by the retraction of the band material, which varies according to the specific properties of the latex used.ATTENTION: Be sure to trim your bands to the correct length before using them to get the most out of your bands!

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!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.

Take your draw length measurement and divide that by 5 is a good starting point. Don’t forget to add an extra½- ¾ inch or so to attach the bands to the frame A: It depends on your slingshot. First of all, make sure you get the right band for your particular slingshot. 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? Most these 'Toucan' slingshots are detachable with modular systems...i.e. the handles and fork heads of different slingshots can be interchangeable.All bands wear out. No matter if they are tube bands or flat bands, they all have an expiration date. It is a universal truth that no band can last indefinitely, as they inevitably succumb to the effects of wear and tear. However, while their lifespan may be limited, the memories and impact they create can last a lifetime. 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. Not everyone’s as effective as a Roman Legionnaire with a slingshot, but every entry in this guide is a real weapon, and any slingshot can be a combat slingshot. That being said, slingshots are suitable for shooters of all ages and ability levels. Use light-duty ammo for shooting inside. Here’s a cool option for kid-safe slingshot ammo. 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.
