Did you know that slingshots grow on trees?
Were you aware that marksmanship is uniquely a human endeavor?
Are you having enough fun in your life?
If your answer was ‘no’ to any of those questions, then you need to grab a cup of your favored tonic and read on.
Slingshots = fun. Plain and simple.

Believe it or not, humans have been having fun for as long as anyone can remember.

Surprisingly, we have begun to forget how to have fun. Its not at all because we can’t find suitable entertainment. We live in a glorious age of entertainment.  The real question we need to be asking is why have we begun to forget how to have fun.

Therein lies the beautiful forked stick that does indeed grow from trees and help us to understand the eternal “Why” of existence.

Or rather the ‘Y’ of existence. Coincidence?
Life is often full of maxims and axioms that help us to better understand our place in time and space to provide meaning and relevance.  At SimpleShot, we have a few of our own, but one of our guiding principles and tenets is the firm belief that humans have an innate and hardwired predilection for excercising the ability of marksmanship.

We also believe that the most simple of things often bring the greatest ROJ.  For those who don’t speak the language yet, that would be ‘return on joy’.  We believe humans seek play and fun and joy as a means to live fuller and more abundant lives…and that is why we love slingshots.

They are the most simple of marksmanship fun.
