Skill Level
Here are our picks for slingshots for beginners, intermediate shooters and pros.
Beginner
The Dead Ringer
The Dead Ringer is a dedicated BB shooting slingshot made for .177 caliber BB’s. Of course, any projectle or bands can be used with this virtually indestructible 1/2″ thick HDPE slingshot, but its ultra compact size makes it perfect for small ammo. The traditional ‘pinky hole’ is situated to accommodate the ring finger rather than the pinky, offering a secure and comfortable fork supported or full pinch grip. This is also a great slingshot for kids or those with very small hands, as both the pinky and ring finger can fit in the hole for an extra secure grip.
We’re going with this little beauty for our beginner slingshot because it is slingshot is designed to shoot tiny ammo (so you can start with cheap and less-lethal ammo). Also, the pinky hole is something that a lot of beginners like to have to secure their grip on the slingshot.
Intermediate
The Scout
The Scout offers the adult slingshot enthusiasts a shooting platform made from modern materials that are virtually indestructible. The thumb and forefinger areas are now textured, to provide an even more secure grip when using the most powerful slingshot bands. The Scout slingshot comes with the innovative and hassle free FlipClips™ and you have yourself a winning combo!
The Scout slingshot is 100% designed and made in the USA.
This is our pick for an intermediate slingshot for its all-around appeal. Beginners will love this slingshot and some pros out there are competing on every level with The Scout slingshot. You can’t go wrong with this one.
Advanced
Ocularis™ 6061 Aluminum
The Ocularis™ line of slingshots is made by master blacksmith, Lee Silva of BlackSheep Forge. Almost too simple to notice, the simplicity is the genius of the “dial-a-fork” system (patent pending) for its ability to simply and quickly ‘dial’ your preferred band orientation. Whether you set up your flatbands to shoot over the top, through the forks, or otherwise, changing and tuning your bands has never been easier or more secure. And the Ocualaris™ is not just for flatbands, it can handle tubes as well.
We’re calling this an advanced slingshot for the simple reason that you don’t want to mess around with this beauty. A fork hit here will bring you to tears, we promise.
