The Pocket Shot Arrow Slingshot

Posted on by

Have you ever tried to get around with an archery bow? Those things are pretty huge and kind of stand out wherever you go. Imagine trying to take the bus with one! But the Pocket Shot Arrow Slingshot lets you achieve almost the same thing with a much, much smaller footprint. It’s a ring-shaped plastic device with a rubber pouch attached to one side and a set of bristles in the middle. The bristles hold your arrow centered while pulling back on the pouch will store up enough kinetic energy to launch your arrows at up to 140 feet per second. Granted that’s nowhere near the 350-400ft/s achieved by a traditional bow and arrow setup, but again, consider the portability. If all you want to do is some target practice and aren’t looking to bring any serious game down, the Pocket Shot is $90.

The Pocket Shot Is A New Kind Of Slingshot

Apparently some people use slingshots to do marginally useful things, like hunting. However, most people associate them with Bart Simpson style shenanigans… and that’s precisely why we love them! Not that we’re going to go around shooting the neighbourhood up, but fun is fun. The Pocket Shot, pictured above, appears to be a whole new take on the concept. Instead of the familiar Y-shaped frame, you have a plastic ring with a weird finned rubber bag attached. You simply pop your projectile in the bag, pull back and shoot like you would a normal slingshot. The makers claim speeds up to two to three times greater than regular slingshots, reaching 350 feet per second. Appropriately, they’re not calling this a toy and are limiting its sale to those 18 and over. You get two versions of the bags, a regular and a pro, with what we imagine to be two different draw weights and projectile speeds. At $25 for the main device, and as little as $2.50 for a bag, it’s dirt cheap; there’s even an optional “whisker biscuit cap” attachment to shoot arrows with!

Survival Slingshot Isn’t Your Usual Backyard Toy

Posted on by

survival-slingshot

We don’t really live in an age where a slingshot is considered an appropriate toy, but not 25 years ago it kind of was. We’re a little sad about that, but it’s not like the Survival Slingshot pictured above would have ever really fit the bill anyway. The 25 lbs elastic band can propel those steel balls fast enough to put out a lot more than an eye. As a matter of fact, this slingshot means really serious business:

Handle contains two 2.875 by .875 inch clear tubes with fishing hooks, line, swivels, weights, striker & matches, thread, needles, pin, steel slingshot ammo. Also included is 1.25″ split ring and bands for archery capability. Fully expandable with innovative dual rail system to attach weaver mount bases and accessories. Optional bracket allows attachment of whisker biscuits such as Trophy Ridge, True Glow, Octane or Hijack for even greater accuracy shooting arrows.

As you can see, the idea behind this item is that it’ll let you catch your own food in a survival situation. For $50 a piece, it doesn’t look like a bad investment.

Human Slingshot (More Like Human Rubberband)

human slingshot Human Slingshot (More Like Human Rubberband)
They’re calling this thing the Human Slingshot but as far as we’re concerned it’s more like the Human Rubberband. If it was a slingshot, I’d expect to see bodies flying through the air like Angry Birds. Regardless this is a four person toy that involves people being slingshotted…errr rubberbanded from one side to the opposite. When all four are moving, it’s sort of a criss-cross weave as you try to avoid the others coming across the middle. Watch this video to see what the hell I just poorly described:

Now that actually looks like fun and some good exercise. Comes in black and blue which is exactly what my uncoordinated and lethargic self would be if I used this thing. Unstretched the band measures about 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide (I’m assuming that means 8 foot diameter). You can also put it on your wrist and go as Honey I Shrank the Kids for Halloween.

Angry Birds Slingshot Pens

Oooh those birds are so angry. They should take a chill pill and just relax. Or maybe an anger management class or some therapy. Seriously why get all worked up over some stupid pigs? Maybe they should write down their feelings with Angry Birds Ball Point Sling Shot Pens Angry Birds Slingshot Pens, maybe pen an apology letter to the pigs for continually divebombing them? Or just continue on their path of self destruction. I heard a rumor that the red bird already is having heart problems from being so angry and stressed all the time. They should just take a bird bath and unwind, this anger is getting them nowhere.
