At SimpleShot, your safety is our top priority. We strive to provide high-quality slingshots designed for accuracy, durability, and enjoyment. However, there are some practices that pose significant safety risks and are not recommended under any circumstances. One such practice is using a slingshot to launch projectiles with a cord, line, or string attached.
Why Corded Projectiles Are Dangerous
Using a slingshot to propel a corded projectile introduces several safety hazards:
- Tangled Lines: A cord or string can easily become tangled during the shot, leading to unpredictable trajectories or snapping back toward the shooter.
- Damage to the Slingshot: The added weight and resistance of a corded projectile can place excessive strain on the slingshot frame and bands, potentially causing failure.
- Risk of Injury: If the cord snaps or gets caught, it can result in serious injury to the user or bystanders.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Policy
To ensure the safety and longevity of your SimpleShot slingshot, we must emphasize that using corded projectiles voids all manufacturer warranties. Our slingshots are meticulously designed and tested for use with standard projectiles like steel balls, clay ammo, or other safe alternatives. Deviating from these intended uses compromises the integrity of the product and your safety.
Safe Practices for Slingshot Use
To get the most out of your SimpleShot slingshot, follow these safety guidelines:
- Use Approved Projectiles: Stick to projectiles specifically designed for slingshot use.
- Inspect Equipment Regularly: Check your bands, pouch, and frame for wear and tear before each use.
- Practice in a Safe Environment: Always aim at appropriate targets in a secure shooting area.
