There’s a lot of ways to build a team.
Most of them follow the same pattern—rankings, performance, results. Who hits the most. Who stands on the podium. Who earns the spot.
That’s not what we’re building.
At SimpleShot, Team SimpleShot isn’t about how good you are. It’s about something far more simple—and far more real.
It’s about that moment when someone picks up a slingshot, takes a shot, and feels it connect. Not almost. Not close. A real hit. The kind you feel in your chest before you even see it land.
That moment matters.
Because real satisfaction is hard to come by these days. Most of what fills our time is fast, passive, and gone as quickly as it came. But hitting the mark is different. It’s tangible. It’s earned. It sticks with you.
That’s the Joy of Slingshots®.
And that’s what sits at the center of Team SimpleShot.
If you’re trying to picture who’s “on the team,” you might be expecting a list. A roster. A group of top shooters who’ve proven themselves.
That’s part of it—but it’s not the whole story. Not even close.
Team SimpleShot includes competitors, yes. People who train, travel, and step onto the line with intention. People who put in the reps and perform at a high level. We’re proud of them. Not just for how they shoot, but for how they carry themselves—calm, focused, generous with their time and knowledge.
But they’re not the definition of the team.
They’re one expression of it.
Because right alongside them are people who are just getting started. People who shoot when they can. People who picked up a slingshot for the first time last week and are still figuring it out.
Some shoot every day. Some don’t. Some use SimpleShot gear. Some don’t.
That’s all okay.
This has never been about building an exclusive group. It’s about building something shared.
Skill matters. It always will.
There’s something deeply rewarding about getting better, about tightening your groups, about understanding your setup and seeing the results. We respect that. We celebrate it.
But skill is not the barrier to entry here.
You don’t have to be great to be part of Team SimpleShot.
You just have to show up the right way.
Most of the time, it doesn’t look like anything special.
It looks like handing a slingshot to someone who’s never tried one before. It looks like helping them get their first hit—maybe quicker than they expected. It looks like five quiet minutes in the backyard after a long day, just to reset and feel something real.
It looks like choosing to do something instead of just watching something.
And then sharing it.
Not because you have to. Because you want to.
Some members of Team SimpleShot compete, and they’ve been showing up strong lately. We’ve seen solid performances, steady shooting, and the kind of presence that comes from time behind the bands.
We’re proud of that.
But not because it proves who belongs.
Because it shows what’s possible when someone leans into this fully—while still holding onto what matters most.
If you’ve ever stepped outside just to take a few shots, you’re closer to this than you think.
If you’ve ever felt that quiet satisfaction when it lands, you’re already part of it.
If you’ve ever handed a slingshot to someone else and watched their face light up when they hit something for the first time—you’re living it.
That’s Team SimpleShot.
Not something you apply for. Not something you unlock.
Something you recognize.
We’ll keep building this. Not as a roster, but as a standard.
Make it fun.
Keep it simple.
Help someone hit the mark.
That’s enough.
For now—and for what comes next.
