Why shooters love it
Arrows from a slingshot. Really.
A slingbow is a slingshot that shoots arrows, and the Hammer is built for it. The slingbow head carries a circular brush arrow rest that holds every arrow centered, and the wrist brace steadies your arm through the long draw.
The XT handle’s Picatinny rail is ready for a bowfishing rig, and the kit ships with flatbands for 3/8 inch steel and clay too, so the same Hammer shoots ammo when you want it. Mark L. was not sure a slingshot could shoot arrows with any power. A month in, he wrote that the Hammer “does both and it does both very well.”
“Super easy to use and pretty powerful for a sling bow. Also very easy for beginners to get accurate shots fairly quickly!”
What you get
What it does.
Arrows Today. Ammo Tomorrow.
Set the head up with the circular brush arrow rest for arrows, or set it up as a slingshot head for ammo. The same wrist-braced handle does either.
A Rail For The Rig.
The XT handle has a Picatinny base for a bowfishing rig or a flashlight.
Brush Rest, Arrow Centered.
A circular brush arrow rest and its mounting hardware come in the box. Soft bristles hold the arrow centered.
Bands For Each Mode.
Slingbow tube bands for arrows, plus flatband sets for 3/8 in steel and clay, with a sample of each ammo.
Who it is for
New archers. Timothy M. found it “very easy for beginners to get accurate shots fairly quickly.”
Bowfishers. The rail plus the Rail Adapter and Archery Accessory Adapter carry a reel seat. See Bowfishing.
Slingshot shooters who want something new. Same grip, same head, now with arrows.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need special arrows?
SimpleShot does not list a specific arrow for the Hammer. Email info@simple-shot.com and a real person will help you pick arrows for your setup.
Can it shoot steel and clay ammo too?
Yes. It ships with flatbands for 3/8 inch steel and clay ammo, and the head converts to a slingshot setup with two screws.
How do I change the draw weight?
With the Slingbow Tubes for Hammer XT, change the tube length. At a 28 inch draw SimpleShot lists about 32 lb at full length, 36 lb at 6 inches and 44 lb at 5 inches.
Can I use a mechanical release?
Yes. A D-loop lets you draw with your fingers or clip in a mechanical release. The Slingbow Tubes for Hammer XT come fitted with one, and the Slingbow D-Loop is sold on its own.
