Cool Things Hammer Review
This is CoolThings.com. We offer you everything cool, and make it our business to alert you to things that might have been cool twenty years ago, but are now secretly cool, as in Underground Cool. We also make it our business to bring you the Cool Things of tomorrow, we’re not trendsetters, but we’re definitely going to point out the people who are, and make big red arrows next to their heads. Most importantly, we bring you the Cool Things of the right now, stuff you might not know about, or maybe want to know a little more about, or things that your cousin from Kansas is doing, but just won’t give you the full 411 on. That’s the kind of stuff we bring you.
Our mission is to present everyone with something they can read about, talk about, and eventually spread the word about. We want to make it that much easier to find something cool, fast. We’re going to update you on a daily basis, with random Cool Things. Because that’s our job, and we’re working for you.
Attachable Accessories Turn The Hammer Slingshot Into A Powerful Slingbow
Yes, it looks like an erstwhile normal slingshot – you know, the kind kids play with to shoot at cans and bottles during bored summer afternoons. Except, the SimpleShot Hammer can be reinforced with multiple attachable accessories, allowing you to turn an erstwhile regular slingshot into a powerful hunting weapon.
Billed as “the most advanced adult slingshot in the market,” it sports a hammer grip that allows you to clutch it like a pistol, providing a stronger and more intuitive grip than those found in traditional forked stick designs. Even better, it uses Ocularis Plugs to attach the bands to the fork, allowing it to support both flat and tubular bands, apart from providing infinite adjustments, allowing for easy installation, and delivering even stronger force.
More than a simple slingshot, the SimpleShot Hammer comes with an interchangeable head that allows you to turn it into a powerful slingbow. That’s right, you can use this for bowhunting, bowfishing, and shooting arrows into zombie skulls, apart from firing stones into bottles and trying to hit two birds with one stone (I mean, I want to know if it’s possible, too). A removable wrist brace allows you to equip it for more stable shooting, with a clever design that allows you to fold it into the fork so the whole thing can fit in your pocket. It even comes with a rail at the bottom for mounting a variety of accessories.
