What is The Pocket Shot? Well, it is what I call a modern-day sling shot, but a little cooler, has an interesting design and is quite portable but make no mistake, this is not a toy!
Let's get the statistics out of the way first: The Pocket Shot is a closed pouch made of latex with a base and locking ring that compresses the latex ends. This design allows for a solid grip on the front end and a clear line of projection for your ammunition in this case a steel slug.
Loading is easy and while the Pocket Shot comes with about 100 ball-bearing rounds, the imagination runs wild with other options: pebbles, confetti, darts, paint balls, pepper balls, etc. Noteworthy: Pocket Shot also makes an arrow-specific unit called The Pocket Shot Arrow. (Note to self must get one of these!) Changing bands is ridiculously easy If you know how to put your socks on, you should be good to go, however you must also understand that there are two rings at the mouth of the Pocket Shot, not just one bulky one I will not go into depth on how long it took me to figure this out, but suffice it to say I saved you at least 30 minutes of precious time.
There is a locking ring that unscrews from the base ring. This releases the mouth of the pouch/band so you can readily change it out. Read the rest of the review here.
You’ll shoot your eye out!
If society collapses, every weapon counts.
My son has the arrow version on his Christmas list.
Now doesnt that make you just want one even more?
Needs a laser sight.
Lookie.
Needs an angled foregrip and a red dot. Where dou you mount the red dot without a picatinny rail? Single-point sling would be handy, too. ... Does this thing float?
Slingshots are illegal in New jersey, believe it or not.
Under state law, manufacturing, transporting or possessing a slingshot without “an explainable, lawful purpose” is a fourth-degree crime, punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Only in NJ and I was thinking about getting one to take a deer in my back yard. I hate NJ and now that they passed the .23 cent gas tax they took the last good thing about NJ away.

I got busted using on in the middle of the woods in CT too. Right behind the Naugatuck shooting range / club.
Cop car came right into the damned woods. Caught up with my jeep.
I faced $500 in fines and of course the slingshot made its way into the cop’s pocket.
Speaking of CT, I saw your post in the Yale thread, where you mentioned Calhoun hall - are you in CT ?
That’s crazy.
Cost?
No, that was a joke, but not really recognizable to younger FReepers who might not have ever seen or heard the old Amos & Andy radio and TV shows...
I joked that it was named after Algonquin J. Calhoun, esq., the lawyer on the show, and to object to the name would therefore be racist.
OH yeah, I got that. I just hoped you didn’t really think that :)
Jim Calhoun is a LEGEND throughout CT and they’ll put you in jail for speaking his name in vain.
The place is falling apart like Detroit but basketball is just fiiiiiine.
