If you haven’t shot a slingshot in a long time, you might be surprised by how much they’ve changed. The materials, shooting styles, and bands have evolved to be more powerful and accurate. What hasn’t changed is how much fun it is to shoot them. From backyard target practice to knocking down cans at hunting camp, slingshots are plain fun. Here’s a look at the best slingshots that are readily available and beginner friendly.
How I Tested the Best Slingshots
Slingshots, also called catapults, vary widely and you can go down a rabbit hole researching the various types. Instead of overwhelming you with options, I centered my testing on readily available modern slingshots that are ideal for new shooters. So you won’t find frameless, pickle fork, wrist rocket, or arrow shooting slingshots in this review.
I shot each of the slingshots with different bands and ammo at 10 yards with a 2-inch target to evaluate their shooting characteristics and features. I also shot them using different types of grips—mainly pinch and thumb-braced. The goal was to find where each slingshot excelled, where it needed improvement, and who it was best for.
