Since our introduction of TTF OTF slingshot fork configurations in 2010... the concept has really caught on all over the world and is now quickly becoming one of the most popular methods for
attaching bands and tubes there is. TTF stands for "Through the forks" and describes the flight path of the ammo, OTF is "Outside the forks" and that's how the bands are tied so when aiming you have one clean line for
easy "point aiming"...
These two slingshots are designed to be shot only in a TTF band or tube configuration, for a safer and more pleasant shooting experience...
They are 3/4" thick and have a smaller grip area than the Hathcock Target Sniper, about 2 1/4" between the thumb and forefinger, so they fit a greater variety of hands...
From small to extra large pretty much any hand will be able to get a good firm grip on these.
Designed with perfect ergonomics and made from high density polyethylene...
HDPE, same as industrial cutting boards but thicker and stronger... The difference between Polycarbonate (PC) and HDPE is HDPE is not as tough, HDPE costs less, HDPE will float on water wheras PC will not, HDPE is a lot easier to work with than PC...
But at the same time, HDPE is stronger and far more resilient than almost all wood and wood laminates... in short, these are perfect "take along" slingshots.
Inexpensive and compact, you can stow one in your backpack, a tackle box, or any place that might be convenient for when you need it on the go.
The Sideshooter Standard costs less and is more basic in that you simply tie on the bands... Whereas the Sideshooter Advanced uses the titanium plate system to hold the bands in place.
Both shoot exactly the same, the major differences are the advanced is a little easier to change bands on for most people and the standard has a more pocketable
width due to not having the attachment hardware sticking out.
For right now, both the Standard and Advanced will be in Black... in time this will change but for right now it will help to speed up the process of making them.
We have a fairly large variety of HDPE slingshots and we do try to make enough in advance to fulfill orders as soon as possible... but sometimes we unexpectedly sell out of one, two or a few designs... When that happens
we try to get them made as quickly as we can... but it may take a while because of other types being already ordered ahead... So don't fret if it takes just a little longer to get to you than you might be expecting... it's coming!
