Pick by what you want to shoot
Heavy bands, steel and clay
The XT Slingshot Heavy Duty. The wrist brace holds your arm so the heaviest bands draw steady. This is the Hammer most people picture.
Slim, light, no brace
The XT Slingshot Lite. The brace-free LT handle with the full XT head. A good fit where wrist braces are restricted.
Arrows first
The XT Slingbow Heavy Duty. The slingbow head with its brush arrow rest, slingbow tubes and flatbands, so it converts to ammo too.
Both, with no swapping bands
The Slingbow Heavy Duty Duo. One head banded for ammo, one set up for arrows. Swap heads and you are shooting the other way.
Everything
The Master Kit. Both handles, both heads, the wrist brace and the bands for ammo and arrows. The whole platform in one box.
Already have a Hammer?
Add a slingbow head, a spare slingshot head or the Rail Adapter. Everything fits the platform you own.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I add a slingbow head to a slingshot kit later?
Yes. The XT Slingbow Head is sold on its own and goes on the XT handle of the XT Slingshot Heavy Duty. It also fits the LT handle in the Lite, but SimpleShot does not recommend that pairing.
Why does the Lite cost the same as the Heavy Duty?
They are priced the same. The Heavy Duty has the XT handle and wrist brace. The Lite has the slim, brace-free LT handle. You are picking a feel, not a tier.
Which kit is best for hunting?
The XT Slingshot Heavy Duty. Its wrist brace lets you pull the heaviest bands and puts more of your power into every shot.
