Operating Instructions

1. Loading Ammunition

Place a single piece of ammunition (steel ball or clay ball) into the center pouch of the rubber band.

2. Holding the Slingshot

Grip the slingshot handle firmly. The wrist brace should be positioned against your forearm to provide stability and distribute pressure. The magnetic cups on the wrist strap can hold additional steel shot for quick reloading.

3. Aiming and Shooting

With your other hand, pull the ammunition pouch back towards your cheek or ear, maintaining a consistent anchor point.
Activate the laser sight/flashlight for improved target acquisition. The laser helps in correcting posture by ensuring your stance and bands are parallel.

Release the pouch smoothly and consistently.
