I just ordered one of these! Figured as a grown ass man I needed a slingshot to plink with 🤣 and it’s much quieter than my 9mm so my neighbors will appreciate it

Yes, and a lot cheaper too with the current ammo prices. Make a catchbox and you can reuse the Steel Ammo as well!

I friggen love this sling shot holy crap it's badass

Scout x is my first slingshot beyond a wrist rocket! I'm super excited and appreciate your awesome customer service.

I just ordered mine and I can't wait to get it ! SimpleShot number five for me. I'm trying a lot of them, and since I'm new to the community I see that SimpleShot is the horse's mouth. It's the brand with the team behind it that supports competitions which is a huge reason I decided to jump all in is the FUN you guys have. Michael in Petaluma, CA.

Just got my Scout X in today. This video was very helpful!

I am watching the Scout X owners manual. I think I will settle for my last frame in the Hammer model with arm band support. The Hammer Hold is my preference. Your slingshots are outstanding.

Absolutely brand new to slingshots, this video is excellent; great job Nathan & camera crew. I appreciate the close in angle shots. I'm on vacation & plan to order the Scout X when I get home, but in the meantime i have been following this channel for all updated info (plus motivation). This video is another tool i really needed to get me prepared to start off smoothly & not make assumptions.

Digging the design.

Amazing video! I learned a lot here. I did not know you could set it up for through the forks. Tuning was a huge game changer for me. I’ve been practicing a lot without tuning at all, I just used the band it came with and I guess I even had those installed wrong! Now I know how to install bands correctly as well (flat bands) and it’s not very much of a guessing game anymore. I could kinda group shots NEAR the targets before tuning and installing correctly, now I believe I’m hitting targets due to these rules. I’m brand new, talking 2 weeks into training and only just leaning about tuning. My draw length is 27 inches. I like the palm swell. I do NOT like the feel of the frame without it; it’s awkward feeling but I do really like the idea of it being lighter, low-profile and am going to customize to make it comfy and still work with the swells. I am considering stippling it just to give it a personality, it is grippy enough and not practically necessary.

This looks like a great evolution to a great product line. It's funny, because I was just thinking of my ideal Scout. I have quite small hands for an adult male, and the Scout LT was a no-brainer for me. I just picked up the Axiom Champ for something a little smaller yet, but find that I miss some of the thicker, sculpted shape of the Scouts. Sooo... any plans for a smaller Scout than the LT? I think I would fall in love with about an 80 - 85% version of the Scout LT. Also, will there be screw options for this attachment that don't require a hex tool to change bands?

I bought one just today, waiting for delivery 😃😃😃 😍

How’s the sites work out? Good? Btw anyone have a discount code … ?

I like making my own frames and my latest one looks suspiciously like the X with perhaps a narrower gap. Great minds do think alike. Making the frames is as important to me as shooting, but I have been considering buying this model, Anyway I'm glad that I checked this video out since I was ignorant about the proper band length and now I'm going to be cutting them down about two inches. I buy all my bands from you, BTW. Thanks for the tip. I shoot nearly every day on my daily walks.

Time takes time. We learn at our own pace. You didn’t know about it until you learned about it. But now that I know I’ll pass the information along to those who haven’t yet learned that lesson, and I’ll show no surprise that they didn’t know about it, before they knew about It, when I do. Instead I’ll ask them if they happen to know something that I don’t. You can’t learn anything if you already think that you know everything.

What size bands come with the X? I just ordered one but didn’t have time to research the included bands.

@simpleshot

Жыл бұрын

All of our slingshots come with 2 of the Standard Flat Bands 7/16".

I have the scout x and i love it, i would like to put my 70+ ft-lb bandset on it, but i don't know what material the scout x is made of and the bandset has around 40 pounds draw weight, i don't want to risk breaking ore bending the fork, it would be very helpfull to know if the material is strong enough for this setup

@simpleshot

The Scout X is made from a Mil Spec fiber reinforced thermoplastic. It should hold up fine. What size ammo do you shoot? There really is no need for such stout bands and you may see an increased velocity with thinner latex as it retracts to the relaxed state quicker. This in turn gives a faster shot velocity.

@@simpleshot thank you very much, with my 70+ ft-lb setup i shoot 68cal steelballs ore 60cal leadballs, it would be very nice if i could decrease draw wheigt and maintain the same velocity, i try if a can reach it with thinner bands

@simpleshot

That is some big ammo! I would tie my own bands so that the lightest draw weight could be found.

hi, it surely seems powerful, but how many joules does it have more or less?

@simpleshot

8 ай бұрын

This will depend on the ammo you use, bands, and the elongation factor. Generally, up to around 10ft lbs and higher if using really hot bands and heavy ammo. Not sure how many joules.

Why not make thumb screws for all models? So lame to have to mess with a tool to change bands.
