Integrated Clips for Scout X

Integrated Clips hold the bandset in OTT or TTF configuration.

OTT (Over The Top)


Band orientation where you shoot the ammo over the top of the forks. (Integrated Clips hold the band to the TOP of the frame.)

TTF (Through The Forks)


Band orientation where you shoot the ammo through the forks. (ntegrated Clip hold the band to the SIDE of the frame.)

The Lanyard


A simple piece of paracord that attaches to the handle of your Scout X frame and secures the slingshot to your frame-holding hand.

Do not shoot stones or rocks from any slingshot.


Rocks - no matter how round they look – shoot erratically and shooting them may damage your slingshot and bands.


Due to the uncontrollable nature of shooting non-spherical projectiles, shooting a rock from a SimpleShot slingshot voids any / all warranties.
