Having a bit of trouble finding the material used to tie the bands to the forks and pouch. What do I look for, rubber bands?

In reply to Tom Hayward. We've had customers shoot arrows with their own rigs but we don't support any arrow shooting from the Scout.

Hi Nathan and the crew you guys are awesome I bought my Scout from Amazon should have bought from you directly. I really like the design that you have created. Is there a way I can shoot an arrow from the Scout if not what would you recommend to use where I can shoot 7/16 ball bearing and arrow with the same sling that can attach the arrow guide? The slingshot brought back the youth in me. You and your team do awesome work with woods and designs. Where can I buy the leather to make my own pouches and how thin should the leather be? I have an old leather jacket and leather work boots that have seen better days. That I will cut up and try out with. I just recently but the pouch jig looking forward to using it. Thank you for making such great products. The videos much need and appreciated Keep up the great work.

Thanks for stopping by!
We’re glad you found us.

Here’s a page for that handslap question: http://simpleshot.academy/bandslap/

And it looks like you’re talking about fork hits? Uh oh. Best bet? Do a search right here (top right) for “Fork hit” and you’ll see our resources for the acursed fork hit.

Hello, I found your site watching Zachery Fowler of Alone fame. I didn’t have internet and no one to show me how to accurately shoot the slingshots that I purchased as a kid. Now-a-days what a light years ahead jump for anyone wanting to shoot a slingshot or for that matter almost anything a person could possibly want to do! I really enjoyed your video showing how to find a fork and hook on the rock chucker bands and get to shooting.
I did have a couple of questions about wrist flip to avoid band slap and maybe what types of slingshots are more prone to this or those that aren’t. Also what causes the problem some have experienced of shooting the slingshot itself and damaging the slingshot or shooting their dang hand off? Thank you in advance for your help.
