About

Built by people who shoot.

The Hammer comes from SimpleShot, a slingshot company that started at a workbench and still designs the gear it shoots.

Who makes the Hammer? SimpleShot, a slingshot company owned and operated in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. SimpleShot founder Nathan Masters started out hand-carving slingshots in the early 2000s, and the company was born in 2012.

Where SimpleShot comes from

It started with Nathan Masters and a lot of patience. In the early 2000s, long before SimpleShot had a name, Nathan was hand-carving slingshots one at a time under the banner of FlippinOut Slingshots, chasing the feel of a frame that points where you look and a band that snaps clean. The orders outgrew the workbench, and in 2012 that craft became a company.

Today SimpleShot is owned and operated in Asheville, North Carolina, and ships slingshots, bands, ammo and know-how to shooters around the world. The crew designs gear they shoot themselves and spends its days helping new and lifelong shooters get more out of every shot.

Why the Hammer is a platform

Most slingshots are one shape forever. The Hammer was built to change with you. A hammer grip that fills the hand, a handle that takes a wrist brace for heavy bands, and heads that swap between steel and arrows. Pick the handle, pick the head, band it your way.

The press noticed. CoolThings and The Awesomer covered the Hammer in the spring of 2016, and other outlets featured it too. The press kit has the list.

“This is the slingshot I wanted as a kid and I am truly enjoying it!” Joseph W.
