Axiom Champ
The Axiom Champ is a small and super-compact frame from SimpleShot.
Designed over a decade ago. Winner of enough tournaments to be named "The Champ." Based on the ubiquitous Axiom design.
This slingshot has some rich history, and it's perfect for you if you love minimal, compact and bare-bones. No clips. No palmswell. Just an iconic shape (possibly the most influential design in the slingshot world) that shoots OTT and TTF.
Get to know the Axiom Champ with these videos
First, let Nathan tell you some of the story of the Axiom Champ through the years and how we finally landed here with the slingshot being made out of thermoplastics just like our other slingshots.
Watch as Nathan sets up an Axiom Champ start to finish in our owners manual video. It's simple, but you will need to tie on your bandset. As always, use the lanyard at ALL times, ALWAYS tune your bands to the ammo you are shooting and make sure they are attached firmly.
Small. Thin. Colorful. It's the Champ.

Great for experienced shooters
Got a clear one to save wear and tear on my pretty carbon one. I love it and I may get another. I consider it more for experienced shooters. the fork gap is very narrow, so if you’re not super great with your pinch and release, you’re gonna whack the frame. It’s plenty durable enough to handle that with only a scuff but a newbie may get discouraged from fork hits. And ammo Ricocheting in wrong directions from striking the fork could lead to mom taking it away. If you’re experienced and not concerned about fork strikes, you’ll love this frame. It’s tiny, but still works well with my XXL hands.

Great for experienced shooters
Got the clear one to save wear and tear on my carbon one, and to work on perfecting my skills. I love it and I think I may get another. I consider it more for experienced shooters, as the fork gap is quite narrow, so if you’re making occasional mistakes with your pinch and release, you’re going to whack the frame. It’s plenty durable enough to handle that, you may only scratch it up, but a newbie may get discouraged when they destroy a few sets of bands in their first couple weeks because the band got in the way of a fork hit. Plus having ammo Ricocheting in unplanned directions from striking the fork isn’t that cool and could lead to mom taking it away. So if you’ve got some experience and solid pinch and release skills, not concerned about fork strikes, you’ll love this frame. It’s tiny, but still works well with my XXL hands.

“Great shooter”
This slingshot is great! This is part of my EDC kit I’ll take to the woods and for the occasional hike/shoot’s days. Definitely need to buy the carbon one next!
