HAMMER SLINGSHOT
Hungarian designer Mark Seljan has created a beast of a slignshot. It’s strong, versatile, innovative and powerful. Made from glass reinforced nylon composite it can handle any number of attachments like a sling bow insert, wrist support and even a flashlight thanks to a picatinny rail on the bottom of the handle. There is also a proprietary band attachment system called the Ocularis that lets you swap bands without a tool but be sure they are in there tight. The circular Ocularis lets you decide the angle of the band whether it be over the top around the sides or on an angle. It can accommodate multiple band strengths and even double bands for massive power. This is no toy. It claims to be the most advanced adult slingshot on the market and is still only $99 with all the bells and whistles.
