Boilerplate

The Hammer by SimpleShot is a modular slingshot and slingbow built around a hammer grip. Shooters pick a handle, the XT with a wrist brace and accessory rail or the slim, brace-free LT, and pair it with the XT slingshot head for steel and clay ammo or the XT slingbow head for arrows. FlipClip X band clips take flatbands or looped tubes, over the top or through the forks. The Hammer is made in the USA and sold at simple-shot.com.
