Hi guys. Just got a Scout XT and have been shooting 3/8in clay balls with the included band. It’s very accurate and does shoot the rounds quite quick. However, I grew up shooting big rocks, marbles, coins, whatever out of a Daisy wrist rocket. Bought the Scout because I remembered how fun it was. I like the Scout but I’d really rather being shooting huge rounds and blowing holes in dead trees. It just kinda feels like an accurate pea shooter.

Should I order some heavier bands for the Scout or do you all have a recommendation for a different heavy banded slingshot I should try? I’d rather stick with clay rounds or rocks as I don’t like the idea of leaving a bunch of steel in the woods.

Edit: y’all are dope. 7 replies in like an hour. Thanks guys.

I haven’t posted much In this sub but I’ve been shooting for quite some time now and it’s one of my favorite hobbies. Fork hits are really only something I struggled with in the beginning and they quit happening indefinitely after experience. I recently got one and now I’m getting them more often. I’m starting to work it out slowly but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this as a somewhat experienced shooter? Edit, guess I should add I have a good release and follow through and believe it’s how I’m holding certain frames struggling to keep the forks even all the sudden.

I’m looking for a solid hunting slingshot and target box to practice with in the backyard. What do you all recommend? Don’t have a budget, just looking for something of good quality that will last a while. I’ve been shooting random slings over the years from Cabela’s but nothing too crazy.

I know people use catch boxes made from rain barrels etc, but even with that an off shot could and most certainly would cause damage to a neighbouring house.

Any thoughts aside from doing it in my basement?

I’m sure ya’ll get this often, but I’m on the simple shot website & it’s sort of overwhelming to choose a good beginning sling shot. What model are people recommending? Tia!

I'm only just at the beginning of the Slingshot world, I don't even have one yet. I've purchased a few bits n pieces and trying to find the time to create my first. Here's my dumb question.- I got this from ebay figuring it's the right shape so it must be some sort of slingshot, I've stared at this for hours and tried to find out exactly what it is and I got nothing! Please can someone help this dumb arse and tell me exactly what it is? Thanks.

This time of year (I'm a first year) I can only really practice in my garage and I'm limited to about 5-6m max from target.

How well does shooting at shorter distances (say 5-6 meters) at a smallish target (~30mm or below) translate to 10 meters at a larger target?

I get that it's just a matter of practice but will my aim be savagely off when I go further out or can using 20mm-30mm targets basically mimick hitting a bit bigger target at 10m?

I don't want all my practice to be for naught. I enjoy doing this but don't want to basically be starting all over in the spring/summer when I can get out more.

Does this logic run through or am I better off trying to build something outside to shield from the weather and cold temps?

Setups are all precut Snipersling 0.5mm yellow (5/16" steel) and 0.7mm green (3/8" steel). Not pictured: Simpleshot Slant Roller. Amassing some equipment to begin cutting my own bands soon.

Hello all! My Gf’s birthday is coming up and she has mentioned she would like a sling shot awhile back. I was just curious if anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction for a reputable place to get a sling shot from. Thank you in advance

I am currently building a target/catcher for steel ammo & I am super excited to have some fun with my new slingshot!

Where are you guys getting the cool lather wrapped/para cord wrapped magnets for your ammo? TIA!

For my new Turtle that's in the mail. The anticipation is killing me!

Sorry to catch your attention like that… it worked though didn’t it? Anyways, it’s true lol. I’ve been wanting to try working with some different species of wood that aren’t available to me in my area. The only decent hardwood in my area is oak, and a few yew trees but they’re few and far between. I can’t just go to the store and buy a natural fork so I thought I’d give this a try. I’ll pay shipping or whatever! Message me if you’d be down

I bought a daisy slingshot not top long ago and I was wondering if there was any slingshot that would be better that I could ask for my birthday?

I live in Illinois and I just recently bought the starter kit for the scout LT2. Will the standard band sets that come with it be ok? Or do I need to get some cold weather bands ? I’ll be doing my shooting in the day time, so disregard those low temps 😂

Hey guys, just a quick question for the community that will probably stir alot of opinion.

I sadly i only have access to theraband gold, but was hoping to make some full or even half butterfly tapered bands for 7/16 mm steel shooting.

Though I've come to understand that cutting bands dimensions for butterfly is not as linear as a regular short draw , and I've heard you actually lessen the initial width of the front end of the bands due to the heightened elongation...is this true?

Many thanks

Made from steel And i like chinese slingshots so what do you think?
