Hunting
Heavy bands. Full power.
The wrist brace lets you pull the heaviest bands you want and puts more of your power into every shot.
Is the Hammer a good hunting slingshot? Yes. Hunting takes heavy bands matched to heavy ammo, and the Hammer’s wrist brace lets you pull the heaviest bands and puts more of your power into every shot. The brace-free LT handle is there if you want it. Always check your local laws first.
What actually makes a hunting slingshot
Heavy bands matched to heavy ammo. The heavier the bands you can pull, the more power you send downrange.
That is the Hammer’s job. The wrist brace locks to the XT handle and braces your forearm through the draw, so you can pull the heaviest bands you want, shot after shot, and put more of your power into every one.
Very wide flatbands
The XT head is built for very wide flatbands and looped tubes, over the top or through the forks.
A braced arm
The wrist brace lets you pull the heaviest bands and puts more of your power into every shot.
A clip that holds
FlipClip X is machined aluminum and clamps down on the heaviest bands.
A rail for a light
The XT handle's Picatinny rail takes the Rail Adapter for a 1-inch light.

Before you hunt
- Know the law. Slingshot hunting rules vary by place, species and season. Check your local laws and licensing every time.
- Practice first. Spend real time on targets at the distance you plan to shoot. Ethical hunting means shots you can make.
- Match bands to ammo. Heavy bands with ammo that is too light are hard on you and the bands. Use steel, never rocks.
- Check your gear. Inspect bands and pouch before every outing and replace anything nicked or worn.
The hunting guide goes deeper, and heavy bands and the wrist brace covers setting up the brace.
