The Scout X, the new modern classic slingshot from SimpleShot

The original Scout XT slingshot was released to the world in 2012 and, since that time, has introduced more folks to the joy of slingshots than any other single slingshot design of the modern era. However, we at SimpleShot can’t stop evolving, and the Scout was ready for its next evolution.

Introducing the Scout X (patent pending), a collaboration between Mark Seljan and SimpleShot. We took years of feedback and spent over 18 months in the development of the Scout X to give you, the dedicated slingshot enthusiast, what you want!

Scout X Features:

  • Removable palm swells like the Scout LT
  • Integrated band attachment clips
  • Recessed fasteners
  • Fiber optic sight references
  • More accommodating of pinch grip hold

The Scout X is reminiscent in all the best ways of the original Scout XT and entirely new with its modern styling and integrated functionality. If you are looking for the one slingshot to rule them all, the Scout X just might be the one!

Scout X

I’m a big fan of the scout XT, and finally broke down and decided to try the new X. Not disappointed in any way. The fiber optic clips work as advertised, and will get, and keep you on target quickly. My only observation, based solely on my personal preference, is that it felt a bit light. I opened up the palm scales and filled the void with 1/4 inch steel ammo, and that was all it needed to make me happy. Excellent product!!

A simple joy to use

The Scout X for me is perfect. I have a Scout XT, and an Axiom Ocularis which I learnt on, and thought the "X" would be a god progression. I wasn't disappointed. The X is truly a top quality, brilliant bang for buck product. You can tell a whole lot of thought g ht went into the design and engineering of the X and it has paid of in spades. The accessories make take it to the top levels of function. I fully recommend trying the extra handle weight. For me it just gave it that complete feeling. Ps, I bought two with different coloured scales so I can have each set up with different powered bands for different ammo.

There's nothing missing

Everything one could want of a slingshot frame is here.. n so much more.. the sighting system is second to none on this frame.. it's bright n makes repeatable target acquisition effortless.. I own frames from legendary designers n shooters and every time i pick up this frame n start shooting it leaves me wondering why I use any other frame.. far from the most expensive.. but ahead of so many others capabilities... from first time shooter to the most advanced I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this frame... and 9 36 cal round balls fit perfectly inside the scales with no rattle.. that coupled with the lanyard mounted hex key.. make this the perfect frame to have if one found themselves stranded for a few days remotely...

Excellent!

I’m pretty new to slingshots and the Scout X was my first. There’s a lot that I like about it. The clip system and the ergonomics are great. I really like how you can roll with / without the handle scales, and even add a weight. I haven’t made up my mind on the fiber optic. There are times when it feels like a distraction, and other times I find it great. I'm finding that at reasonable distances (15-20m) I usually just have to put the optic on the target. Though now that I'm getting into smaller targets, it does sometime occlude what I'm trying to hit. I’m still experimenting to see what configuration I like best with this frame in terms of the scales, weight or no weight, and band orientation. Overall I’ve really been enjoying it. Would definitely purchase again.
