Scout XT Slingshot with Target, Clay Ammo and Bands for Professional Hunting and Powerful Target Shooting Sling Shot

Knowing how to shoot a slingshot is most of the battle. I have had several slingshots over the years and even bought another one on Amazon thinking it would make me better, it didn't. I was not until I did an internet search and watched a video on how to shoot a slingshot I realized the error of my ways. I highly suggest you do the same before you buy another slingshot. You will save yourself time and money. There are tons of different slingshots out there. Ones with round rubber tubes and ones with flat bands. I find flat rubber bands tend to be more accurate by the way. Some sligshots even have springs added to them that look cool but do they really add more power? Not really sure. Anyway, after researching many different slingshots I settled on the one I thought was best. Don't take my word for it, do your own research. I even bought those darts for another slingshot I have to go fhishing with but thank God it looked a little sketchy to me. The part of the dart that comes in contact with the rubber bands or leather pouch had sharp edges so I never used them. I have since seen those same darts stuck in people's hands. Fyi...Never use them in your slingshot!!! Arrows are better, safer and, much more accurate then the darts. After much research I settled on this particular slingshot for many reasons. For one reason was the way the bands attached to the slingshot. They were easy to change out and they could be mounted over the top or around the sides. I find around the sides better to aid in aiming. The second reason was the body allowed the user to use multiple hand positions to find the one that best suits them. Third was the company themselves. They have many different products relating to slingshots and they are not from some other country. They are a US company. Anyway, after learning how to shoot I had no problem hitting a one inch target at 25 feet in no time with over 90% accuracy. I am now shooting at 50 feet and would say I am 60 to 70% accurate on the one inch target. Practice makes perfect folks. If you do not get out there and push yourself to get better you never will. I was in the military and shot a lot and I do mean a lot. Thousands of rounds I shot through my rifle and my pistol. The part that I am most proud of is my marksmanship with the 9mm Beretta. At 100 yards and with 90 to 95% accuracy, I could hit a 12" target. Believe me or not, I don't care. My point is this. I fyour not going to put in the time to make yourself better at something then you will never get better. You see, after a while you develope what is called a natural line of sight. It is like muscle memory. After a while I could just raise I rifle not even using the sights and could hit a man sized target under 100 yards. Believe me, comes in really handy when doing CQB. Learning to shoot a slingshot is no different and trust me when I say this. If you put in the time you too will develope that muscle memory and know exactly what I am talking about. I originally bought the clay ammo but they only last so long. I now use a white sheet as a back drop to catch the steel shot I am using so I can reuse the ammo over and over again. I have really enjoy shooting my slingshot. So much so I prefer it over going to the range and spending $100 or more on ammo. So folks, that is my honest review and I hope it helps.

Initally bought this with the intent to piss of them squirrels that yappin' surrounding my tree stand during deer season. Since then i've had just been messing around with clay pellets and just seeing to what extent my aim can get to. This thing is a lil fun doohickey to mess around with if you got dead time or something. The quality is very good and I have little to no compaints at all, the only complaint being I wish it came with more bands (only 2 pairs) at its price point but to be fair I ain't worth crying over. The reference points are easily distinguishable and shooting it; wether it be standing/tilted/sideways, is pretty easy and comfortable and allows for an easier/faster time for progressing the learning curve. I was about to cheap out but am glad I didn't, would buy again if I ever needed to. "Good 'ole blunt force trama" Pros - Superb quality and build with hardware and accessories - Egronomics and handling is quite comfortable and is carved out well for different postitions/rest points - handslap rarely ever occurrs and can shoot for hours - Reference points are very defined and can assist in the learning curve Cons - Price per accessories - The price is decently valid for the overall build, just wish it came with a lil more more accessories (mainly more pair of bands or something, ya only get 1 clay band and 1 multi-purpose band)

This is a quality slingshot, super fun to learn and shoot. The ammo samples are great for beginners, too. Definitely worth the buy whether you're a novice or a pro, this is a great slingshot to get into the hobby - it will last well into "pro" level use (IMHO). With the guidance SimpleShot offers in their YT videos and the instructional videos linked in the paperwork that comes with this, you can be off the races in short order. Also really like that you can adjust the band with a coin in your pocket, and you can easily swap bands out for different ammos (thicker/stronger band for heavier/bigger ammo). Great buy!

I'm a gun guy but since retiring and moving a couple years ago I don't have the access to ranges as I once did. So, while in a local sporting goods store I picked up a cheap slingshot to plink in my back yard. I have a very OCD personality so once I find something I like I go a little nuts with it. Anyway, while watching some videos on how to shoot I came across a recommendation to buy a Scout XT, so I did. Let me tell you, what a difference! After watching the recommended video on tuning the bands, my first shot at 15 yards was a strike on a paint can I'd placed out there. I was shocked becauae with the cheap one I had I was good for maybe 50% hits. This frame and grip and bands tuned to my draw made all the difference. I have pretty small hands so doing a "pinch grip" is kinda difficult but the "thumb brace" grip feels very natural. I'm thinking about grabbing a Scout Lt as it is said to be smaller so might help my grip. Anyway, only gripe I have about this slingshot are the band pouches. Using 1/2" is kinda difficult and even 3/8 can be a little tough. They work but I think they could definitely be better. The little target that comes with the set is next to useless and plan to buy more ammo as what is provided will last about 10 minutes. Overall the slingshot is awesome, the rest of the stuff in the pack is worthless.

I used to shoot a cheap Walmart slingshot as a kid and teenager. I have been interested in getting back into carrying a slingshot on camping trips and hunting for small game birds, such as Ptarmigan and Dusky Grouse. I did a little research and decided on this slingshot as an option that would hopefully be a higher quality and durability than some of the cheaper options out there. At the same time, I wasn't ready to spend much more. I bought this kit and some extra clay ammo and it came just in time for a short camping trip. I assembled the bands quickly thanks to the easy to follow instructions and was quickly shooting empty pop cans. The slingshot works great, was easy to set up and came with good instructions, some ammo, 2 sets of bands and a small leather target that can be hung up. My son and I quickly went through a few hundred of the clay ammo that I bought along with it and had a lot of fun. This will definitely be coming with me whenever I have an opportunity to shoot it.

My last slingshot was one I made back in high school in the 70's. it was cut from a piece of 5/8" plywood, sanded and I attached latex rubber tubing to the frame. It was pretty good. This SimpleShot Scout XT Slingshot is downright frightening with how much power it puts on target. I set it up per the great videos on YouTube and took an old cardboard box, wadded up and stuffed some paper in it to act as a backstop, and proceeded to shoot one of the steel balls at the box. I was confused, because the ball was not in the box. I suddenly realized that it went into the box, through the paper backstops and out the back of the box. Thankfully there was nothing breakable or that would bleed on the far side of that box. Sheesh - this thing is powerful. It does take work to master. I ordered a package of 1000 bearings to shoot with it and am working on my form and aim. I strongly recommend that you watch the videos on the RIGHT way to hold the slingshot. I discovered that I was doing it wrong for as long as I have used a slingshot and my accuracy went way up when I started holding it right. This company makes a dynamite product - I believe you could easily hunt small game with this thing.

Great product! First impression -I was skeptical at first after reading about the "flimsy" plastic band fasteners before I purchased this product. I decided to get it as it had the most versatile band mounting options (over the top, or around the sides.) After installing the bands I realized that the only way the previous reviewer could have broken them is if he over-tightened the plastic and stripped it out. This can be done if you are fearful of the bands slipping and tend to really crank of the screw past the point where it can't screw in any further. I found that moderate tension holds the bands perfectly without slippage and still not stripped plastic. They manufacturer even puts in an owners manual and installation guide for installing the bands correctly. To me this added a professional touch and value to my purchase. Shooting Session - I was shooting 3/8" steel ball ammo and within minutes I was shooting 1-2" groups at 10 yards with this product. Given that I have only been shooting a week, this is realistic for me. I am a male standing at 6'2" and 250lbs. While the large grip didn't feel uncomfortable, I liked shooting with the smaller handle more. The product did feel like it was made with a high amount of quality control as there were not any noticable machining marks on the fiberglass. While shooting, the ergonomics felt great when at full draw and the bands and pouch were great. I will say that after about 400 rounds or so, the bands popped off the pouch. They didn't break, the string that held it on just came untied. All I did was get a piece of string and retie it and it was good and shooting again. It was just a small hiccup that was definitely not a huge deal. The bands are still holding up well and I am loving this slingshot!

Good quality made well I also like the way you tighten the bands you only need a quarter for a tool i will probably in the future buy the scout x g10 if you want to pay a bit more check out the scout x g10 people say it’s a good buy and it’s very gorgeous

Great product. Only thing is I'd like a stronger band out the gate. Can always shorten it I suppose. The science behind their product is so obvious it make me wonder why my catapults as a kid were tubes and hard to change. Good company. Check out their site for other products too.

Ware pünktlich geliefert, super Schleuder , alles gut

Nice, good for leisure times in the mountain.

For over a hundred dollars I can get something better, They promised to give me 10dollars back and I did not received anything.
